Question and Answer Time in the Music Filled Lounge

[ChiefHappyButt]

I don't know about this, but here goes:

If I think up a song lyric that is a question, someone else responds with a song lyric that answers the question. Then someone else either provides another, alternate answer or asks another lyric question.

Example:

If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true, and help me understand? (Beatles)

Love stinks, yeah yeah, love stinks! (J Geils)


Okay: Ladies and Gentlemen! Start your lyrical engines!

[dbt]

1. Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby,

Standing in the shadows?

:bounce:
dbt

[Droopy]

2. See your mother put to death. See your mother die.

[Don Claybrook]

4. Are you delving into GOP campaign music?

Haven't heard that one before. :)

[Droopy]

5. It's from an old Metallica tune

I think they were talking about the destruction of mother earth.

[Don Claybrook]

3. I have procedural questions

Not to get too rule-related with a fun thread, but is the answer supposed to logically answer the question, or can any yes/no question be answered with any yes/no answer?

Or do you answer the question with another question, so long as some of the same words appear?

For example, the first reply mentioned something about 'have you seen your mother in the doorway'?

Would it then be appropriate to answer by asking the lyric, "Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb"? Or am I playing this too loose?

Sorry to bog the thread down with the legalese, but I wanted to play and I'm not real clear on your rules.

Thanks.

[ChiefHappyButt]

6. I believe most any response would be appropriate.

I'll be responding to the previous one:

Tie your mother down! Tie your mother down! (Queen)

(oh, don't have to put who the lyric is from, but it may help)

[Don Claybrook]

7. ok, thanks, I'll give it a try n/t

27. A lengthy answer to my own question, from Rush

Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Colombian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East,
Fly by morning light

We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there

We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best
