(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!

Do I feel high!

Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon

As I remember it so was I

I get high with a little help from my friends

...high on a mountain of love
Mountain of love, a mountain of love
You should be ashamed
Used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
(I can hear the music and all, but not the line before "high"--it's a 60's American doo-woppish thing)
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he can move a rubber tree plant?
Everyone knows an ant
Can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes
He's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
(Van Heusen/Cahn)
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
...to keep me away from you...
We're gonna get high, high, high with the music on
Won't say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Till the night has gone
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do you sweet banana
You'll never give up
We're gonna get high, high, high in the mid-day sun.
Rocky Mountain high
in the Colorado

(John Denver)
(The first one was Paul and Linda McCartney.)
Summary of current rules and practices:
I put up a word overnight, usually.
Play once and wait for another turn, on the new/current word. Once someone else plays, you can play again.
Older words, play all you want.
If you play twice on the new word, sit out until two people have played.
If you make a typo or error, post a new one and then delete the old one. A moderator will delete your trashcan/notice later.

As an elephant's eye

The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

Inside her handsome home

Taking tips, and getting stoned.

When I'm stoned

I'm gonna stop singing this song Because I'm high.
I'm singing this whole thing wrong Because I'm high.
And if I don't sell one copy
I know why. (Why, man?)
Because I'm high,
Because I'm high,
Because I'm high.
