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!

Down in the valley
Valley so low
Hang your head over
Hear the wind blow
Like, oh my god!
valley girl
like--totally!
valley girl...
---Frank Zappa (featuring Moon Unit)
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
to keep me from getting to you,
Diana Ross,
tho I think someone else recorded it first and others have since
Oh we're going down the valley one by one
With our faces toward the setting of the sun
(Not quite hymn nor gospel, but religious music from early radio days? It is neither new nor ancient.)
From this valley they say you are going
Red River Valley
(8 words)
Early one morning
Just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid sing
In a valley below,
"Oh, don't deceive me.
Oh, never leave me.
How could you use
A poor maiden so?"
-English traditional
I've got a hundred and sixty acres in the valley
Marty Robbins sang it on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs
Cow ranch forty miles away
Was a little place that lay
In a green and shady valley
In the mighty wilderness
Billy Vanero (an American ballad with a hero, but it doesn't use the word)
A gentleman was passing by,
He asked for a drink as he got dry
At the well below the valley-O
(a sad ballad)
(I might be playing two in a row, but someone else needs my computer, so it will be easy for me to penalty-box myself.)
You can be a Sweet Valley girl
Goin' with a Sweet Valley guy
Livin' in a Sweet Valley world
Goin' to Sweet Valley High!
-from the commercial for the Sweet Valley Twins board game
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
Free Fallin'
Tom Petty
The pathway is broken
and the signs are unclear,
And I don't know the reason
Why you brought me here.
But just because you love me
The way that you do,
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If you want me to.
Ginny Owens
I said I'd go, Lord, wherever you lead
'Cause where you are is where I most want to be.
And I can tell we're headed for the valley.
The Mountain
Steven Curtis Chapman
There'll be peace in the valley for me, some day
There'll be peace in the valley for me, dear lord I pray
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare.
The shadow in the background of the morgue.
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley.
Miss You by Blink 182
The day my mama socked it to
The Harper Valley P.T.A.
"The Harper Valley P.T.A.," Jeannie C. Riley
(great song, about hypocrisy)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status-symbol land
The Monkees, "Pleasant Valley Sunday"
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
"Green Fields," The Brothers Four
(loved the passion in this song when I was a kid)
Squeezing that river like it squeeze your bones.
In the long red, red valley people live here too long.
Valley
Jethro Tull
In the valley of the Jolly Green Giant
He's so big and mean
a novelty song of the 60's
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul
I'm on FIre
Bruce Springsteen
