The New 1970s Lyrics Game

Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore

---

Going into the 90s for this one.  The artist is primarily associated with the 60s and 70s.


You wanna make Van Goghs
Raise 'em up like sheep
Make 'em out of Eskimos
And women if you please
Make 'em nice and normal
Make 'em nice and neat

You wanna make Van Goghs
Raise 'em up like sheep
Make 'em out of Eskimos
And women if you please
Make 'em nice and normal
Make 'em nice and neat

Turbulent Indigo - Joni Mitchell

Great choice, mj!
My wife is a huge Joni fan so I am very familiar with this tune.

Going to the 80s for this connection:

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line

Closer To Fine - Indigo Girls.


Rhino, I think Turbulent Indigo, while very melancholy, is one of Joni's better albums.  She was (and still is, I believe) very jaded with the male-dominated recording industry, and the lack of recognition she received as one of the most influential recording artists out there.

I think the following lyrics from the song Sex Kills exemplifies her frustration.

I pulled up behind a Cadillac;
We were waiting for the light;
And I took a look at his license plate-
It said, "Just Ice."
Is justice just ice?
Governed by greed and lust?
Just the strong doing what they can
And the weak suffering what they must?
And the gas leaks
And the oil spills
And sex sells everything
And sex kills ...
Sex kills ...

Here's a JBFH selection for y'all.

When I wake up in the mornin' light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I put my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on

Jeans On - David Dundas


One day, I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day, I'm gonna get that faculty together.

 

    

One day, I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day, I'm gonna get that faculty together.

Blue Jean - David Bowie


I don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new

Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle


I think we can make it
Wouldn't you give your heart to a friend  

I think we can make it
Wouldn't you give your heart to a friend  

Midnight Blue - Melissa Manchester

Rhino, I think Turbulent Indigo, while very melancholy, is one of Joni's better albums.  She was (and still is, I believe) very jaded with the male-dominated recording industry, and the lack of recognition she received as one of the most influential recording artists out there.

Great point, mj!
I like that parrt of her songwriting - shows lots of edginess!
Kinda like Alannis did - to a much smaller degree - on Jagged Little Pill.

This connection is too good to pass up:
You were the restless one
And you did not care that
I was the trouble boy
Lookin' for a double dare
I won't apologize for the
Things I've done and said

Midnight Blue - Lou Gramm. Had a feeling that was coming. Good one.


Look over yonder, what do you see
The sun is arising most definitely   

Look over yonder, what do you see
The sun is arising most definitely  

Crystal Blue Persuasion  --  Tommy James & The Shondells 

But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’

Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’

Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan....or should I say Robert Zimmerman  


The clue can be found in this artist's title and also is an appropriate song for later on today



I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind.
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind

Tuesday Afternoon - Moody Blues


Well when Monday comes she's Tuesday
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine  

     

    

Well when Monday comes she's Tuesday
When Tuesday comes she's Wednesday
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine

"Moody Blue"  by  Elvis Presley 

Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far, far away.
Now I feel the wind blow, outside my door,
I'm leavin' my woman at home, oh yeah.

Tuesday's Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I loved you from the moment that I saw you
You looked at me that's all you had to do 

  

When the Super Bowl comes to Jersey next year, I bet the Boss and Bon Jovi will be in the halftime show. But I don't think it would be complete without a medley from the cast of the Jersey Boys.

I loved you from the moment that I saw you
You looked at me that's all you had to do

For You Blue - The Beatles

When the Super Bowl comes to Jersey next year, I bet the Boss and Bon Jovi will be in the halftime show. But I don't think it would be complete without a medley from the cast of the Jersey Boys.

I've heard that there might not be a halftime show next year because of the weather preventing a crew being able to set up and break down in a timely manner.

don't make me cry, don't make me blue
Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so

Don't Pass Me By - The Beatles, featuring Ringo.


When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby be strong to me
Baby belong to me      

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby be strong to me
Baby belong to me  

Out Here On My Own - Irene Cara


I've always listened to your point of view
My ways are cut through men
And I've always been a patient man
But my patience has reached it's end

Blue Morning, Blue Day - Foreigner

I found my true love was on a ----------
She looked at me and told me I was the only
One in the world, now I've found my girl
