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!

There is a ship
And it sails the sea
It's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
As the love I'm in
I care not if
I sink or swim
-"The Water is Wide"
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Sailing ~ Christopher Cross
...we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night ashore,
Drink to the foam.
Anchors Aweigh
Go Navy!
OMG I figured this would be the first song snatched up. But it's mine! All mine!
I'm sailing away
Set an open course
For the virgin sea...
and of course later on
Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me...
STYX
although now I can't think of that song without hearing South Park's Cartman singing it in fast-forward. LOL!
The waves crash in,
The tide rolls out.
It's an angry sea,
But there is no doubt
That the lighthouse
Will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor.

Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing

Sally knows the deal... Ballads will do it!
There was a little ship and it sailed upon the sea
And the name of our ship was The Golden Vanity
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore and let me go home
Beach Boys
Our naval hero, best of all
His name was Pauley Joney
He sailed the sea just as he pleased
But he never ate abalone
Abalone, abalone, abalone
He never ate abalone
-(What else?) "Abalone," American folk song
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
The great ocean liners sail bravely away;
They travel by night and by day.
But braver than these were the venturesome three,
The Pinta, the Niña, the Santa Marie.
-"Three Little Ships"
While the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight
The Pretender
Jackson Browne
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Puff the Magic Dragon
Peter, Paul and Mary
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In fourteen-hundred-ninety-two
(learned it in school)
Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea
And the barges, they go silently
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
-I know it from Girl Scouts
Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main
There's many a stormy wind shall blow
E'er Jack comes home again (I think...)
How could I not think of this one!? (Because I was thinking of ballads.)
We sail the ocean blue
And our saucy ship's a beauty
We are sober men and true
And attentive to our duty
H.M.S. Pinafore
We can sail, we can sail
With the Orinoco flow
Sail away, sail away, sail away...
-Enya
Sail on Silver Girl
sail on by
your time has come to shine
all your dreams are on their way...
---Simon & Garfunkle
When the going gets tough and the stomach acids flow.
The cold wind of conformity is nipping at your nose.
When some trendy new atrocity has brought you to your knees.
Come with us we'll sail the seas of cheese.
Sailing the Seas of Cheese by Primus
Now here I lay in my twenty third year, How I wish I was in Sherbrook now.
It's been six years since we sailed away, and I just made Halifax yesterday.
Barret's Privateers - Stand Rogers
They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the bong tree grows
"The Owl and the Pussycat," to a tune I still remember from Captain Kangaroo when I was little
He sailed to the east
He sailed to the westward
He sailed all over to Turkey shore
"Lord Bateman" (which I played on "marry" or I probably wouldn't have thought of it--and Sally's ballad-playing is helping me mix it up, too)
"Christian Island (Georgian Bay)" by Gordon Lightfoot
I'm sailing down the summer day
Where fish and seagulls play
I put my troubles all away
And when the gale comes up I'll fill my cup
With the whiskey of the highlands
She's a good old ship and she'll make the trip
From the lee of Christian Island

My husband once shipped in a whaler
And sailed to the far northern seas
But being a bold-hearted sailor
He cared not for ice, sea, nor breeze
And now he's no longer a sailor
He often wakes up in the night
And thinking he's still on the whaler
Cries out with the greatest delight,
"Eight bells! Eight bells!
Rouse out there the watch from below!
Eight bells! Eight bells!
Rouse out there the watch from below!"
-"Eight Bells," a sea chanty
Come all ye bold fisherman
Listen to me
I'll sing you a song of
The fish in the sea
First comes the bluefish
A-wagging his tail
He comes up on deck and yells,
"All hands make sail!"
-"Song of the Fishes"
(There are about 13 verses, each with different fish.)
It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wild accountancy
To find, explore, the funds offshore
And [skirt?] the shoals of bankruptcy...
from Monty Python's "Meaning of Life"
