jacksonbart Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Perhaps a rereading of the rules is in order for us newbies.... " Rules: No cheating. This can be fun unless cheaters destroy it. Give lyrics of about 10 words minimum to national classic rock artists (no local no-names). Winner gets to post his own lyrics. And the game plays on.... No cheaters (The answers are all over the net. The game gets destroyed too fast.) If you break down and cheat, don't post the answer and spoil the challenge. The song only needs to be identified w/certainty (exactness is not critical; artist is not required). If the song is correctly named but the artist is not, the answer is still correct. If the guess is correct, the person correctly guessing has within 10 minutes to post a new set of lyrics as a challenge. " Thanks for playing, Michael Michael - What was the issue? Zappa I believe is nationally known, or was it my recent post. You have heard the artist of my recent post. For any one confused my lyrics are posted on the bottom of the previous page.

colterphoto1 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 not you, La Cucaracha.... and for myself. As new people come in , they dont' always guess the ground rules. It was a remeinder to me as well as anyone else joining in late. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 ok, rhymes, but weird meter, sounds spooky spoken word whispers vocals.... like Peter Gabriel pretty recent stuff.... Am I close here? Not to be an ahole, but what national ROCK band did lacucaracha? Please humor me...I was up all night with visions of hariry legs and cockaroaches oh crud, you have to have the song title. I've no idea, but sure it's Peter Gabrial. Little help?

Jeff Matthews Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Not to be an ahole, but what national ROCK band did lacucaracha? Please humor me...I was up all night with visions of hariry legs and cockaroaches Michael Michael's upset! He stayed up all night listening to his entire Santana collection - all for naught. [] Really, though, he's right. Let's stay w/national Classic Rock artists. Also, anyone feel free to enforce the 10 min. post rule. I've seen alot more answers/bail-outs lately. EDIT: BTW, Michael, were the hairy legs ON the cockaroaches? I hope so. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks Jeff, I didn't know, maybe Dave Matthews did a La Cucaracha- he does everything else LOL I haven't bailed on the last one, just can't place the song title, and that's critical per the rules. Anyone else place a guess on JacksonBart's poser? How bout a hint toward the title if we've decided it's Gabriel.... Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 It is Peter Gabriel -- Come Talk to Me. Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Alice Cooper, Killer... Michael, The list was an attempt at humor... no, none of the groups are classical rock. I should have also posted an MP3 excerpt from Bugs Bunny... anybody who grew up watching any of the old Warner Bros., Merry Melodies or Looney Toons cartoons heard "La Choucaracha" about a bazillionty-seven times... try: Shreads of our memories are lying on your grass; Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past. Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields Letters of your memories are not real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
