From the original thread:
The song lyrics thread has made me think that you guys might enjoy a game I've been playing on another board. Link the Lyrics is played with a series of excerpts from song lyric(s); the object is to post lyrics which duplicate a word or phrase included in the immediately preceding post.
So - if I posted the lyrics from You're Having My Baby [bushasuru emoticon], someone could follow with the lyrics from Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me [bushasuru-again e]. In posting lyrics, please ~
~ confine the lyrics to four lines or less, unless the song is out of copyright
~ boldface the linking word or phrase
~ identify the title of the song, and
~ identify the composer or first performer of the song
OK. Here we go.
*********************************
Last post on thread 5:
Who do you love
Who do you love
Girl I know that you are torn between what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know
Who do you love
Who do you love
Oh yeah
"Who Do You Love?"
~~The Backstreet Boys

I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire,
Got a cobra-snake for a necktie.
I built a house by the roadside,
Made of rattlesnake hide.
Got a brand new chimney up on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Come on baby take a walk with me,
And tell me who do you love?
Variations by Bo Diddley, Fabulous Thuderbirds, and the Doors... as well as others...

Listen!
I got the house
I got the car
I got the rug
And I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back!
THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT
Aretha Franklin

You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
"I Ain't Living Long Like This"
~~written by Rodney Crowell
~~performed by Emmylou Harris

Aretha Franklin
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Chain of Fools
Performed by Aretha Franklin--did she write it?

CHAIN GANG
(Hooh! aah! hooh!)
I hear somethin' sayin'
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin'
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't ya hear them singin'
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
FADE
My work is so hard

Burns: Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is an outfit that looks good...
See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.
See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.
Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,
Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest,
See my vest.
Like my loafers? Former gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,
So let's prepare these dogs,
Kill two for matching clogs,
See my vest, see my vest,
Oh please, won't you see my vest.
"See My Vest" - Monty Burns - The Simpsons

I found a picture of you.
Oh, what hijacked my world at night.
To a place in the past,
We've been cast out of.
Oh, now we're back in the fight.
We're back on the train yeah,
Oh, back on the chain gang.
Circumstance beyond our control,
Oh, the phone, the TV and the News of the World.
Got in my house like a pigeon from hell.
Oh, threw sand in our eyes descending like flies.
Oh, put as back on the train yeah,
Oh,
Back on the chain gang...

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains
I can't run around 'cause I'm not free-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, these chains of lo-o-ove
Won't let me be, yeah
Now, believe me when I tell you "I think you're fine"
I'd like to love you but, darling, I'm imprisoned by these
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah
I wanna tell you, pretty baby, "your lips look sweet"
I'd like to kiss them but I can't break away from all of these
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, chains of lo-o-o-ove

[Well, this is really a cheat...]
Unchained Melody
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .
Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh,
"Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be comin' home, wait for me!"
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .
Time goes by so slowly
an' time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me
