(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
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!

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Over white and drifted snow, Oh!
-The only Thanksgiving non-hymn I know
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't ,eam my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Burt Bachrach
oops
that's supposed to say
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red.
Though the weather outside is frightful,
The fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
-"Let It Snow" I don't know who wrote it
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy Weather...
Lena Horne, in my head
And the lightning strikes
And the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones,
Through the sailor's soul,
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except a rolling ocean.
Ready for the Storm
Rich Mullins
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
from the movie
I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
The snow is really pilin' up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here.
"Two outa Three ain't Bad," Meat Loaf (Jim Steinman words & music)
Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry,
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
~John Denver
I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin’ fevered train
Crashing a-headlong into the heartland
Like a cannon in the rain
Fisherman's Blues
Waterboys
Here I am just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Soul Asylum
The weather is frightening.
Thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way;
But as far as I'm concerned,
It's a lovely day.
Isn't It a Lovely Day - Irving Berlin (Fred Astaire does my favorite version)
And I wonder
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain?
Credence Clearwater Revival
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
~the carpenters
If it weren't for the weather,
I'd have lost myself by now.
I have fallen from my mountain,
And I need a distraction.
-"Strange Weather" by David Haldeman
The sun is shining
And the grass is green
Under the three feet of snow, I mean
From the South Park movie, written by guys who grew up where it snowed in mid-May this year.
I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me down
It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiney day
"Both Sides, Now" by Joni Mitchell:
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey...
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away, has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here.
Let me know the way.
The Beatles ~ The Long and Winding Road
oh god could it be the weather
oh god why am i here
if love isn't forever
and it's not the weather
hand me my leather
tori amos...leather
and i'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
and i will never need umbrellas in the rain
tori amos...happy phantom
oh god could it be the weather
oh god why am i here
if love isn't forever
and it's not the weather
hand me my leather
tori amos...leather
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled (blah blah blah) in the drivin' rain
"Jumpin' Jack Flash," Rolling Stones
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
Early Morning Rain
Gordon Lightfoot
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen
Lightning striking again
Lightning striking again and again and again and again
Lou Christie
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky then gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
Urge for Going
Joni Mitchell
In September there come a frost
All of this young man's corn was lost
"The Young Man Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn"
(good! It's been running through my head for weeks, and I finally figured out a place to play it.)
It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
Desperado
The Eagles
Now the first of December was covered with snow
and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Sweet Baby James - James Taylor
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Fire and Rain - James Taylor
When the rain comes, they run and hide their head
Rai-ai-ai-aiaiaiain, I don't mind
Shi-i-i-iiiiine, the weather's fine
Rain - The Beatles
How can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go 'round?
The Bee Gees
Soon it's gonna rain,I can feel it
Soon it's gonnarain, rain pell-mell
Soon it's gonna rain
And what're we gonna do?
-from "The Fantastiks"
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain,
I've a smile on my face
"Singin' in the Rain"
