LYRIC EXERCISE

[RJhog (Admin)]

Well, we've been having so much dang fun with games lately, let's try this one.  And I think that I even made this one up on my own.  Anyway, the object is for the first person, that's me, to write a sentence that contains a classic rock lyric.  The next person would do the same, but it has to carry on from where the previous sentence left off.  Who knows, we might get a pretty good story out of this.  Make sure you use quotation marks for your lyric.

I'll start us off:

I just heard that "the greeks don't want no freaks".

[Jon]

"on the rebound"

[Jon]

let me correct this:

The greeks don't want no freaks "on the rebound".

Now the "story" can commence!

[Niels (Mod)]

The greeks don't want no freaks on the rebound.

"But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin"

[RJhog (Admin)]

I always thought that lyric was "the stink of Rin Tin Tin".  You know, smelling like a dog.

[Niels (Mod)]

Could be. I can't remember how he sings it. I took it directly from the lyrics, as they are written.

The greeks don't want no freaks on the rebound.

"But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin"

"They climbed aboard their starship"

[Jon]

The greeks don't want no freaks on the rebound. But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin they climbed aboard their starship "with that one guitar"

The greeks don't want no freaks on the rebound. But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin they climbed aboard their starship "with that one guitar"

[RJhog (Admin)]

The greeks don't want no freaks on the rebound. But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin they climbed aboard their starship "with that one guitar".  They sold the guitar and tried to purchase a "stairway to heaven".

[Jon]

wait wait wait wait....you added non lyrics stuff? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thought it was going to be ALL lyrics. Now the fun is gone. 

[RJhog (Admin)]

"Stairway to heaven" is most definitely a lyric (as well as a song title).  But I'll change it, just for you...

The greeks don't want no freaks on the rebound. But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin they climbed aboard their starship "with that one guitar".  Once aboard with that one guitar, they played a "little diddy 'bout Jack and Diane".

[Jon]

Stairway to Heaven is fine, but it's what came before, unless that's a lyric too. Something like

Meanwhile and far way (Moody Blues) she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Let me make a clarification.  The lyric itself does not have to be a complete sentence. My goal is for the next person to write a complete sentence, using some part of a song lyric, that makes sense with what came before it.
