Kwiz - Name that tune

Chad Ochoseis
Jul 12 2016 06:00 AM

It's a slow week baseballwise, so I thought I'd throw a kwiz out there. Someone - Edgy, I think - posted a similar kwiz a few years ago.

Here's the deal. Below, I have the lyrics to five songs, alphabetized and with duplicates removed (i.e., if I were to select "Heart of Gold", which I didn't, the words "heart" and "gold" would only appear once each). Your job is to name the songs.

- All songs were released between 1970 and 1978
- All reached the Billboard top ten, except for the second song, which only made it to #14. But I think the second song is going to be the most immediately recognizable.

If anyone gets the first song without a hint, I owe them a beer. It's a well known song, but it apparently doesn't have many lyrics.

First song
all always and anymore as but can't evening eyes face fair forget give go goes guess had I if in is it it's just know leaving let live living my no now of only or should shows smile sorrow story that that's the then there think this tomorrow way well were what when without yes you your

Second song
a after and another anyone are around as at away back be because blew breeze broken busy can chair clown come cup day doorway dying eleven falls feel felt from fuck get go god got hair he heart hiccupped hole home hours how I if in is kiss knees knew know like little looked love me measure my name now of oh on only ooh out pan pin place policeman preaching punches really receive remember right rin rolling said sewer sleep soho spit staggered still streak stretched such tell the there's this throwing tin to tonight took town trees tube underground up walk walked wanna want way well where who whoa with woke yet you your

Third song
a about again all and as bags be been begun believe bliss bring can't cause come could country crying darkness day dreaming edge everyone far friends from get getting glide go going good happy has hating holy home I in is it it's I’ve join jump lately live living louder me must nearer not now of oh on one out peace rides roller smiling so some something soon sounding take the there things thinking this to together too train true upon we why will with world yes you your

Fourth song
a again and anyway are be been best big bit blue both boy but buy can could cross did do done don't down easily ever everybody excuse eyes feeling few for forgetting forgotten funny gift got green have hide hope house how I I'd if I'm in inside is it it's I've keep kicked kind know life like little live makes man may me mean mind money moss much my no not now of off on one one's or people potions put quite really roof sat sculptor see seen show simple so song sun's sweetest tell that the then these they're they've thing things this those travelling turned verses was we well what where while who wonderful words world wrote you your

Fifth song
a about again and are around ash blazes both but by cause come crazy dance didn't do down falling fast feel feeling flirting for freedom future gambler get go going good got help her hole hoping hot hurting i I'm in it it's I've know ladies lady let like lonely love loving lying man me myself not of or our past rambler seen sitting smoke some stocking such sweet talking that that's the there thing think to too trouble us we were when with worrying you your you're

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

I guess having "without" and "you" close together does help. But there aren't any key words in that song that would have gotten me to think "Hey, it's Nilsson". "Sorrow", maybe. The other ones all have a word or two in them that would have flicked a light on in my brain if I were taking the quiz. Or that's what I'd like to think.

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

Sorrow and shows kinda do although they are backward. Admittedly I am noticing this after I know the answer!

I am picking out rhyming words in #5 but still drawing a blank. 'Flirting' should be obvious but I am stumped

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

Stuff I found out about the songs when I was looking up the lyrics:

- "Without You" was originally a Badfinger song. I had no idea; I associate that song so strongly with Nilsson.

- "Who Are You" was a narrative of a day Pete Townshend spent in New York City. That it was a narrative of a Pete Townshend day was pretty clear, but the references to the tube made me think that he woke up in a doorway in London's Soho, not New York's.

And kudos to John Cougar Lunchbucket for finishing out the easiest difficult kwiz in history. Your final score is LWFS 3, Edgy 1, JCL 1. I'll try to come up with five more today if I run out of work to do.

I've heard "Help Me" one million times and I wasn't close to guessing it. I just fixated on "rambler" and "gambler" and could only think of swaggering dude music like Seger and the Allmans and Steve Miller.

This song is from the 1970s.

By the way, reposting the clue with an extra word I left out -- "and" oh, and one other key word -- fuck it, pretend you didn't see the above and just look at this one. He's right, transcribing and alphabetizing lyrics sucks bhmc

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

Batmags, quick with the trigger. I'm cool with that; I was going to post my song and realized it was way too easy.

Here's my spreadsheet. It requires a moderately advanced degree of Excel skill, and even with it, breaking down the lyrics is a pain. I haven't checked out Seawolf's link yet.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1_WZJ ... sp=sharing

Ignore Sheet1; I deleted the formulas there. The other sheets still have formulas.

- Copy the lyrics, starting at cell D3.
- Use Text to Columns from the Data group of commands to give each word its own cell
- Column U will have the lyrics in a single column
- Use the Advanced Filter from the Data group of commands to copy only the unique records in column W (leave the criteria blank, check the Unique Records Only box, and copy to W1). There will be a few numbers and other flotsam you'll need to eliminate manually.
- In column X, use the LOWER command to convert everything to lowercase.
- Copy column X to a Word document. It will copy as a table
- Convert the table to text. I did this by clicking on the "Tell Me What You Want to Do" box in Word 2016 and saying "Convert table to text"
- Replace the paragraph marks with spaces using the Find and Replace in Word. ^p is the code for a paragraph mark.

The absence of the word 'Sleep' indicates that this is the Carpenters version as opposed to the earlier Bonnie Bramlett/Leon Russell composition as Karen & Richard altered the lyrics so as to keep to their clean-cut image: ... and I can hardly wait to be with you again

This exercise reminds me a bit of a long ago Springsteen critique (probably upon the release of DotEoT) where the critic mocked Bruce's songwriting by listing a dozen or maybe 15 words and said, 'now you too can build your own Springsteen song'. The list naturally included the likes of NIGHT, DARKNESS, STREETS, BABY, TOWN, etc. with the idea that you could just constantly rearrange them in any particular order to create a whole new song.

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

Clues: It's a shitty song Batmags probably hates, and I realize now, the lyrics suck. They're basically just words accompanying the brand of shiny 80s pop-funk the band made a brief career of. Too much info?

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

For years I tried to figure out what Clapton was saying, figuring that it couldn't possibly be "married to Mabel". Then Al Gore invented the interwebs and I was finally able to look it up and, yeah, married to Mabel.

JCL's is "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. I defer to cooby for the next song.

Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

So is this alphabetical lyrics thing 'a thing', or something Chad just made up out of his evil mind?


Y'know whose songs would suck at this game? Dylan's.
Not only would the fact that they'd take up half a page be too much of a give-away, but it's not like folks would be sitting around trying to figure out which songs contain 'Ashtabula'?, or 'Queen Anne's Lace', or mention Isis, Durango, Verlaine and Rimbaud

Jul 15 2016 02:32 PM
Re: Kwiz - Name that tune

I would get those particular Dylan references in a second, especially since you are referencing only two albums.

While Chad credited Edgy, I think I am responsible for this. I found a quiz of this sort and posted it a few years ago. It's not a thing anywhere but here.

BTW, KC, Badge would have been a good song if you could have left out Mabel because even in order it makes little sense, lol
