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!

Our house
In the middle of our street
(that's all I know)
there she was just a walking down the street, singing do wa ditty, ditty dum, ditty dum....
The street lights are shining bright
(tonight)
the billboards are shedding their light
(tonight)
and my crowd's out hanging around
tonight...
---The Go-Go's
The car had lost it's R in a pothole
On a street that had no eet

I've found a new place to dwell.

If you see me walkin' down the street
and I start to cry
each time we meet
Walk on by-y-y

It was twenty past eleven
When they walked out in the street

Out in the street

I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I
Seven stories high
Just to be on the street where you live
(Lerner/Loewe, from "My Fair Lady")
oh, you'll never see my shade
or hear the sound of my feet
while there's a moon
over bourbon street
"moon over bourbon street" (sting)
Get your coat and grab your hat
Leave your worries at the doorstep
And just direct you feet
To the sunny side of the street
-Louis Armstrong sang it (among others, I'm sure)
I want to take shelter from the poison rain where the streets have no name.

Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you to
Forty-second street

And my heart fell at my feet

I found love on a two-way street
And lost it on a lonely highway
-The Moments, Stacy Lattisaw
And the street belongs to the cop
And the janitor with the mop,
And the grocerty clerks are all gone.
And the smell of the rainwashed pavement
Comes up clean and fresh and cold,
And the streetlamp light
Fills the gutter with gold.
That's my time of day.
"My Time of Day" from "Guys and Dolls"
My clothes are raggéd, no shoes on my feet
Said the little paperboy, out on the street
I know it by The Blue Sky Boys in my head mostly but my mom and granny used to sing it.
Keep your feet in the street
your toes in the lawn
but keep your business in your pocket
'cause that's where it belongs...
---Ricki Lee Jones, "Danny's All-Star Joint"
Easy Street,
Easy Street,
That's where that's where we're gonna be
from "Annie," and I know it sung by Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters from the movie version they're in
When the only sound on the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
that belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
(Cole Porter, "Love for Sale")
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by

They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing.
Dancing in the street.

When I die please bury me
Down at the end of Bleeker Street

Come on take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there's music in the street
Both night and day
Paul Simon
He was a mean individual; he had a heart like a bone
He was a naturally crazy man and better off left alone
Well he stopped one night at the traffic light and when that light turned green
He was a mean individual stranded in a limousine
Hey hey Hey
All the children on the street
Come runnin' out the back door, runnin' out the front door, flying on their feet
Paul Simon
Winding your way down on Baker Street.
Light in your head and dead on your feet.
Gerry Rafferty
so he went for a walk in the high street
took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves
and he thought of his father
and his father before him
and how he was the first one to leave
"rebel" (bryan adams)
All the girls go by,
Dressed up for each other;
And the boys do the boogie-woogie
on the corner of the street.
Wild Nights - Van Morrison
she dressed just like a painter
a female street picasso
and i - i will remember
the heaven in her laughter
and the scent of her sweet perfume
when we made love
under an august moon
"she doesn't live here anymore" (roxette)
When the baby grows up larger
They will fit his little feet
Won't he look so handsome, mother
When he walks out on the street
"Put My Little Shoes Away," early 20th century tearjerker ballad
all the dreams are tiny ones

on cinnamon street

I wanna go down main street
the backroads,
just like you did when you were a kid, tell me where your story is
Take me There

win the streets of boston,
under the feet of love,
skip away from your foes and frenemies,
in the land of open skys and closed up roads.
-Hector Herent
