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!

I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date
No time to say hello goodbye
I'm late I'm late I'm late!
The white rabbit, in Disney's Alice in Wonderland
My first thought was this song:
Have you driven a Ford lately?
But it's not 8 words, so I'll play this:
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
-"Wonderful Tonight" Eric Clapton
It's a still life watercolor
Of a now late afternoon
The Dangling Conversation
Simon and Garfunkel
Later.....when is later?
All I ever hear is,
"Later, Henrik,
Henrik, Later."
[snip]
Though I've been born,
I've never been.
How can I wait around for "later"?
I'll be ninety on my deathbed
And the late
Or, rather, later,
Henrik Egerman.
(Sondheim, from "A Little Night Music")
See ya later alligator
After while crocodile
See ya later alligator
So long, that's all, good bye
Bill Haley and the Comets
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Rod Stewart, Van Morrison
I don't know who wrote it
See you later Allen Ginsberg (x2)
Bob Dylan
(looked it up - was on the Basement tapes and you can hear it on youtube)
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been
"Truckin'," The Grateful Dead
What have you done for me lately? Oooh-oooh-oohwa.
Janet Jackson
it's too late, baby
Now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide it,
I just can't fake it
Oh, no.
(King/Geffen)
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need.
I Need a Hero
Bonnie Tyler
(My favorite song when I was 11.)
(Thanks Miche!)
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
"Lyin' Eyes," The Eagles
The Hendersons will all be there
late of Pablo Fanques Fair...
---Beatles, "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"
Later on down at the Tasty Freeze
Tommy slipped something on her hand
He said my high school ring will have to do
Till I can buy a wedding band
Trisha Yearwood
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
-"Winter Wonderland"
It's too late to turn back now
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love
And lately when I love you
I know you're not satisfied
Woman Woman
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Spring will be
A little late this year
A little late arriving
In my lonely world over here
For you have left me
And where is our April of old?
You have left me
And winter continues, cold.
(Loesser)
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late!
(sung memorably by The Chipmunks)
Took a walk and passed your house
Late last night
"Sillhouettes," Herman's Hermits (cover of a more obscure American version from a few years before)
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theater but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Rogers and Hart
Have I told you lately that I love you
Well darlin' I'm telling you now.
(more than one of the old country crooners)
no one knew her worth
The late, great daughter of mother earth...
"La Vie Boheme," from Rent
Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground.
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down.
The English Beat
And every song they played was for the late great Johnny Ace
yeah yeah yeah
Paul Simon
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you're not around?
The Eagles, "New Kid in Town"
Get up, it's late,
It's twenty minutes after eight
Animaniacs, the song about going in the car (a great song)
We met at nine
--We met at eight
I was on time
--No, you were late
Ah yes! I remember it well
(Lerner/Lowe, from "Gigi")
