This thread was cool. I don’t recall the origins of the game, but I won’t let that stop me from bringing it back .
The rules are simple. I’ll post some song lyrics to kick us off. The next poster will think of lyrics with one word in common with the lyrics I posted. So if I were to post:
Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh
The next poster might post:
As long as we’ve no place to go Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow
Bold your common word. If I recall correctly OSC does not condone posting entire songs (seeing as how they are copyrighted and whatnot) but to my knowledge excerpts are acceptable. Let us know the artist and title. And finally, creativity is a plus. It’s lame to use words like “is” as your common word imho.

She would not have me for her lover, Way-hey, you rolling river, But I never courted any other. Away, I'm bound away, across the wide Missouri.
One day she went to Kansas City, Way-hey, you rolling river, And there she had a little baby. Away, I'm bound away, across the wide Missouri.
She must have had another lover, Way-hey, you rolling river, It must have been that cavalry soldier. Away, I'm bound away, across the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Way-hey, you rolling river, Though she'll never cross your shining waters. Away, I'm bound away, across the wide Missouri.

Grey-haired and flint-eyed, his sunburned face lined, Grandpa was a man of few words. He had a way of not wanting to say Any more than he thought would be heard.

He had the eyes of a painter, Heart of a maker of songs. His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain, Precious and so quickly gone.

(btw, I love you for picking Janis there Goody) Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
I always thought of a line as being how the singer phrased it, where the pauses were, or where the singer changed if there's more than one vocalist. So if we're quoting "Bohemian Rhapsody", then "Bismillah, NO" is one line and "Will you let me go" is another, because different people are singing each of those.
