Let's have a good old fashioned Riff-Off
The rules are simple. You must sing a song beginning with the last word of the previous song.
I'll start:
I'd been had, I was sad and blue. But you made me feel, yeah, you made me feel, shiny and new.
Like a virgin, touched for the very first time
- Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel like they've got somethin' real
- time of my life. No, I've never felt this way before. Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you. 'Cause I've had the time of my life. I swear
- swear by the moon and the stars in the sky,
I'll be there. I swear like a shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
- I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name and I'll be there
- there for you. When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you. Like I've been there before, I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour
- pour some sugar on me. Ooh, in the name of love.
Pour some sugar on me. I'm hot, sticky sweet
from my head to my feet, yeah
- yeah, yeah, since you've been gone. You're dedicated you took the time. It wasn't long till I called you mine. Yeah, yeah, since you've been gone
- Gone daddy gone, the love is gone away
- away, to better days. Take me away,
a hiding place. I got pocket, got a pocket full of sunshine
- Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy, Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
- Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy, sunshine in my eyes can make me cry...
- Sunshine day! Everybody's singin!
- singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
And I'm happy again.
- singing, "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do," and we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay...
- ...singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
- Stay with me one more day, if we get through one more night...
OR
again, and again and again, you got me so excited, I know exactly what to do, you got me so excited, I'm gonna wrap it up and give it all to you..
- Who's that gigolo on the street?
With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet?
- If you see me walking down the feet, and I start to cry, each time we meet...
Eris%20and%20the%20Golden%20Caftan
- Meet me in St. Louis, Louis.
Meet me at the fair...
- fair thee well, my honey, fair thee well.
- ...well, Hopin' you would come back soon.
The fortune teller told me,
My love with you was through!
I hope she was wrong, 'cause you been gone too long...
I%27m%20Blue
- long cool woman in a black dress, just 5'9" beautiful and tall
-
Long ago, and oh so far away, I fell in love with you, before the second show.....
- Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
I had a little drink
About an hour ago
And it went straight to my head
- show me show me you really need me, cause all those lies I've already heard..
- Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another you've been messin' around.
- Around my way...
Around my way...
All the corners filled with sorrow
All the streets are filled with pain
Around my way...
- way 'round. Two bottle whiskey for the way.
And I sure would like some sweet company.
And I'm leaving tomorrow what-do-you say?
When I'm gone, when I'm gone.
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
You're gonna miss me by my hair.
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
- gone, I can breathe for the first time.
I'm so moving on.
Yeah, yeah.
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
- want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be /
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
- Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
Cuz I've heard so much about it
- It takes a worried man to sing a worried song...
- Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
- pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.
Well, by the force of will, my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
- Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent
- ....breathe, breathe in the air. Don't be afraid to care....
- While this may have been a good idea, the fact that 2 or 3 people can post at the same time makes it impossible. And, BTW, R11 and R20-you're idiots.
It's FARE thee well and my diet pill is wearing off.
- I'm an idiot, but R12 is a moron!
R21
- Careless whispers of a good friend. To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind. There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find...
- find that they don't reprimand their daughters
- Daughters are lovers too
John%20Mayer
- Daughter of Darkness
Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart and broke it apart, you daughter of darkness
-
Darkness clouds me on these sunlit days....
- Days of wine and roses...
- can we post who the artist is in the author box? I know some of these but some are confounding.
- Rosalita, jump a little higher. Senorita, come sit by my fire.
-
I made up R43.
dumb%20game%20but%20it%20did%20make%20me%20put%20on%20Darkness%20on%20the%20Edge
- [quote]I made up [R43].
Then Henry Mancini's estate owes you some money!
- Money! It's a crime!
- Crimes of the heart, we're all guilty
Crimes of the heart, we're all willing...
Kim%20Carnes
-
(No way r48 - what song contains my line?)
r43%20
- ... willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise, but someday you'll pay the price I know
- know what I mean?
Do you know, know what I mean?
-
Mean to me, why must you be mean to me?
- Me and you and a dog named Boo...
- ..me a portrayal of our great dichotomy, it's my poor friend me, and I'm running out of steam..
Bad%20Religion
- ...Steam heat, I've got...pssss...steam heat...But I need your love to keep away the cold.
Pajama%20Game
- Cold on the shoulder...
Gordon%20Lightfoot
- Cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
- Love in an elevator!
- elevator,
I pick my floor,
And if I wanna battle,
I pick my war
- War, what is it good for? absolutely nothing..
WAR
- War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again. War. Good God y'all, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
- Well I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
- Me, a name I call myself...
Julie%20Andrews
-
...don't want to be all by myself, anymore....
-
Y'all are cheating on this thread.
We used to play this game at work all the time and would have to sing it and there were rules.
You can start anywhere in a song but it must be a complete phrase... you can't just stop on an inconvenient word.
The adjoining riff must start with the last, and only the last word of the previous lyric and must also be a complete phrase.
It is no fun when people have hours to think about it and then still truncate or abbreviate a line to get in. Disqualified.
dance%20off
- disqualified, Shawty, you disqualified. Bad bitch with me look like the Kardashians.
Pull up in the club in that brand new Aston.
Jumped I jumped the line cause I'm very important.
Boyfriend an athlete, baby daddy a dope boy.
But she still get food stamps and still on welfare.
But she fine as a motherfucker
- ....motherfucker
Tear down the wall
Tear down the wall
Jefferson%20Airplane-%20We%20Can%20Be%20Together
- the wall of sleep, behind the wall of sleep
The%20Smithereens
- Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent Night
Holy Night
Song of God
Oh loves pure light
- Sleep, my child, and dream.
Paradise%20Lost%3A%20Shadows%20and%20Wings
- Dream. Dream dream dream. Dream...Dream, dream, dream. When I want you...
Everly%20Brothers
- you light up my life, you give me hope, to carry on..
Debbie%20Boone
- You light up my life...
*groan*%20Debbie%20Boone
