The Lyrics Game

As we are all into music, and some of us might like a challenge every now an then, here’s a new idea for a game:

A community user posts 2 lines from the lyrics of a song, without mentioning the song or artist

  • Preferably not from the chorus as that might be too easy.
  • These can be your favourite lines, lines that grabbed your attention, something your think is funny…
  • The lyrics can be in any language, but every 3rd set of lines (or less) should be English to give everyone in the community a chance to stay involved
  • The lyrics should be verifiable in Roon

First user to correctly guess the title of the song from which the lyrics come can post 2 new lines from a song of their choosing.

  • A correct answer must be confirmed by the user who posted the lyrics
  • Considering the existence of covers, only the title is required, but mentioning the artist is appreciated

If nobody is able to correctly guess it within 24 hours, the user who posted the lyrics provides the answer and posts a new challenge.

I’ll get us started. I just heard this while listening to some music, and though it quite funny considering the many discussions I’m seeing:

Don’t waste you money on a new set of speakers
You get more milage from a cheap pair of sneakers

Billy Joel - It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me

My turn?

Here’s an easy one to help keep things moving:

When you think that you’ve lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more

Correct. Your turn!

Bob Dylan - Tryin’ to Get to Heaven ?

Correct. :grin: Your turn. :index_pointing_at_the_viewer:

We’ve really got to make this easier…

You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

That one is way, way, way too easy. So easy that I’ll let someone else answer it while I look for some eagles outside my hotel window here in California. :rofl:

How some great opening lines, like this one:

L.A. proved too much for the man
so he’s leavin’ the life he’s come to know

No takers uh? I guess this isn’t catching on :roll_eyes:

I’m now heading to Georgia. Taking the train for a change. Who would have expected that it was so busy on the platform at midnight. I saw Gladys Knight & The Pips, Neil Diamond. I must have been really tired with my eyes fooling because I think I even saw the Queen of Soul herself.

I’ll close my eyes and try to catch some sleep.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again

I really don’t know how I can make this any easier…
