SmileAs with Gdub's excellentCool lyrics game, this one is about guessing the origins of lyrics, but with a twist:

I'll print a line of lyrics (not necessarily prog, the SILLIER the better) and the next person must name the band and song, print the next line/phrase of the lyric, then put down another (completely different) lyric to be identified & completed by the next player, and so on.

Big smileThings are too "quiet" around here -- let's see if we can have some fun!

Remember: silly/lame (but not outright pornographic) lyrics are best.Tongue

Googling when stuck is permitted -- keep it moving!Stern Smile

Here we go:

LOL"There's a certain kind of lovin' that my wife don't know..."

LOL Nope -- nice try, though, and the real lyric has a similar sentiment.

I'm pretty sure Danbo knows this one....

 Shocked C'mon, you lazy louts. Use Google!Unhappy

OK, here's a hint: The band is Guadalcanal Diary, and I'm sure I've sent the song to Danbo and/or Jim in the past!Smile

I just put that exact phrase into Google, and it lead my back to an earlier post of mine here, where I quote the entire lyric.Stern Smile

I also found it (eventually) on a website for the band, though some of the lyrics have errors there.

C'mon, Reedy-boy! YOU can do it!Big smile

April 5th 2004

"Dirty deeds, done with sheep.... electric fences! High voltage!"LOL

And is anyone else familiar with Guadalcanal Diary's immortal sensitive love ballad, "Cattle Prod?" 

"There's a certain kind of lovin' that my wife don't know -- rump so tender it just falls off the bone.... Got a cattle prod!"

One for the download list -- pure prog majesty! Wink

(Whoops! My conduct is slipping -- again!)

Confused i forgot to put the " " in when i searched!

Er so next lines are:There's a certain kind of loving that my wife don't know
Love so tender just falls off the bone
When I raise my hand I see the cattle shake
I got to have a heaping helping of that sweet plank steak
I got a cattle prod, I got a cattle prod

Song is "Cattle Prod" from "Jamboree"

Geek My go:

But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed.
Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate

LOL

ClapWell played sir! (Though, as I said, I believe there are errors in those "unofficial website lyrics.) I hear "Rump so tender" and "flank steak," not "plank steak."

Yours is from "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)" by English funnyman Benny Hill:

"Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate? Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?"

^ Funny little ditty....LOL

Try this obscure one. (Some of you Brits must have been fans of this guy):

"Keep neat, stay clean -- your harmony likes to be seen...."

That's got to be - "in case of sonic attack in your district, follow these rules" Hawkwind, Sonic Attack.

Hows about this little gem, then.....

He dreams he is a human,
And falls into a trance"

From Porcupine Tree's "Dislocated Day."

Next lines are: "A hole inside my body/Is wired up to a charge/Chemical imbalance/Tells me who you are"

Had to "Google" that one, but people just aren't trying out there. (Perhaps the proggin' public want another "Who's the BEST" or "Prog or Not" poll....Confused

Try this then: "... I turn myself on all the time. I'm alone, like a queen in bed...."

Thats Robyn Hitcock's ' The Man with a Lightbulb Head'

next lines are..... With a barrel of vodka and lime .And how's about you, my pretty one? Do you still smear yourself with jam?

Okay do you know this one ?

The silly clown's red nose is runny
And it's tragic that it's all so funny

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you

Loudon Wainwright III

SO Damn Happy (Little Ship)

It's crucial that it doesn't matter
Vows of love are idle chatter
To feel this good has to be bad
I'm so damn happy that it's sad
Dear listener would you like to slap me
And the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
Yes the sad thing is I'm so damn happy.

Try this:

The waters ebb and flow.
The changing seasons come and go.
Ireland's eye...

Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Monty Python (Eric Idle)

Next something apt I think:

Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
