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!

Heavy boots of lead, fills his victims full of dread.
Running as fast as they can, Iron Man lives again.
Black Sabbath
Automobile in America
Chromium steel in America
Wire spoke wheel in America
Very big deal in America!
(Bernstein/Sondheim, from "West Side Story")
Mad boy grips the microphone with a fistful of steel.
With a fistful of steel, 'cause I know the power of the question.
Rage Against The Machine
For you are a magnet and I am steel
Walter Egan
I'm a cowboy on a steel horse I ride
And I'm wanted dead or alive
Bon Jovi
John Henry said to the captain
I'm gonna bring that steam drill down... (and then some words I can't remember because it's been 40 years...)
John Henry drove steel like a man, lord lord
John Henry drove steel like a man.
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
City of New Orleans
Steve Goodman
If you see me coming, better step aside.
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died.
One fist of iron, the other of steel,
If the right don't get you then the left one will.
"Sixteen Tons"
they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke,
Chromium steel
Billy Joel, "Allentown"
This is the way we iron the clothes,
So early Tuesday morning
-children's fingerplay
the football team has all run dry,
give the bicycle a riding try,
she's got a hymen made of steel
Hymen made of Steel - Maggie Fette
(thankfully not nationally distributed, the first song ever written for me)
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
"Hotel California," The Eagles
No one dared to ask his business
No one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big Iron on his hip
Marty Robbins
Sunlight, falling on your steel.
Death in life is your ideal.
Life is like a wheel, rolling on and on.
Iron Maiden
Oh the dwarves came out of Deskadeps
To build an iron boat
While the others scoffed and scorned
And said it would not float...
I hadn't thought of that song for years. Keith wrote it and lots of people used to know it in the SCA around here. It was a parody of The Titanic, and when in the Titanic it says "Husbands and wives, little bitty children lost their lives," this other one said "Many a good dwarf died, had to kiss his axe goodbye"
Oh!!!
Camelot, C'est Moi
(I'm picturing the Italian guy playing the French guy in the movie version...)
swim a moat in a coat
of heavy iron mail
and
... something about an iron will
"Had I been made the partner of Eve
We'd be in Eden still"
is the rhyme.
Oooh. Two different irons in one song. Why didn't I think of this yesterday!?
A knight of the Table Round should be invincible,
Succeed where a less fantastic man would fail.
Climb a wall no one else can climb,
Cleave a dragon in record time
Swim a moat in a coat of heavy iron mail.
--and--
I've never strayed
From all I believe;
I'm blessed with an iron will.
Had I been made
The partner of Eve,
We'd be in Eden still.
GOOD ONE, Sandra! Double BRAVO!
She looked so fair and nimble (?) hanging out the linens-o
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
folk song
He was turned to steel
In a great magnetic field
"Iron Man" - Black Sabbath
stand and fight
live by your heart
always one more try
i'm not afraid to die
stand and fight
say what you feel
born with a heart of steel
"heart of steel" (manowar)
Engines and steel, loud pounding hammers,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
--Hymn, "Earth and All Stars."
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel.
--"Circle of Steel," Gordon Lightfoot
