Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

to every thing (turn, turn, turn)
there is a season (turn, turn, turn)
the Byrds
I do my little turn on the catwalk
I'm Too Sexy
You do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
The Hokey-Pokey
I posted this, but deleted it because it is thoroughly incorrect:
Jump down, turn around
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
I was mixing up Hokey Pokey, This Old Man and Pick a Bale of Cotton.
Let me try again. Sorry.
Jump down, turn around,
Pick a bale of cotten
(And the other can't even play in this topic because it's
Knick-knack-paddy-whack
Give a dog a bone.
I'll have to wait until the word is "whack" or "knick-nack," and the odds are small that it will happen or that I would remember)
Sandra, your version (we always sang "with a knick knack paddy-whack, give a dog a bone"!) reminded me of this one...
Gonna jump down
turn around
pick a bale of cotton
Gotta jump down
turn around
pick a bale a day
I assume traditional, but I know it from the Steve Martin movie "The Jerk" :p
LOL we cross-posted, Sandra! Oh well.
Sandra,
Your mix of the three songs explains why I immediately thought of The Hokey Pokey! Here's my next:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace.
Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away...

You turn me on
I'm a radio
I'm a country station
I'm a little bit corny

Turning, turning,
Turning, turning, turning through the years.

I turn the switch and
check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber

Get down
Turn around
Go to town

I'm just sitting here waiting for you
to come on home
and turn me on
~Norah Jones
I misspelled "cotton" but I'm not deleting and repairing that thing again. Let it lie as the mess it is.
And now it's Judy's turn to cry

I'm not asking you to turn back around
I'd settle for a slow down
Dierks Bentley
Go on now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
I Will Survive
I keep thinking of "looked around" and "look around" songs.
Ezekiel saw that wheel a-turning
Way up in the middle of the air
Down came the good fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny Foo-Foo
I don't wanna see you
Scoopin' up the field mice
and boppin' 'em on the head!
I'll give you three chances.
And if you don't behave,
I'll turn you into a goon!
:D
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.

It's just the age
It's just a stage
We disengage
We turn the page

Turn around bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

Before you go and turn me on
Be sure that you can turn me loose
Dierks Bentley
I told you twice
I was only trying to be nice
I didn't mean to turn you on.
-? Some now-forgotten (at least by me!) 80's band
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
Turn Me Loose ~ Loverboy
How can I try to explain

Tell the man to turn the jukebox

And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go

There is someone
Walking behind you
Turn around
Look at me
The mother watched the baking
And turned the loaves, each one.
Until at last, rejoicing, she said,
"My bread is done!"
-"Making Bread" from Emilie Poulsson's "FingerPlays for Nursery and Kindergarten" c. 1893
More than horses
are turning into rats,
And by the way he's walking
I can guess where your slipper's at!

Turn your radio on
And listen to the music in the air
Turn your radio on
Heaven's glory share
-"Turn Your Radio On"
from a pre-TV era
Upside down boy, you turn me.
Inside out and round and round.
Diana Ross
and Bonnie Tyler sang Total Eclipse of the Heart
For a shield
From the storm
For a friend
For a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
"I Turn to You" by Christina Aguilera
The cards were dealt all 'round the table
Each man took a card on the draw
I drew the one that would beat them
I turned it and here's what I saw...
"Mother the Queen of my Heart," Jimmie Rodgers
(I don't know whether he wrote it--my mom used to sing it, and I have it on a '78, or used to)
