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!

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year...
(Ervin Drake, notably sung by Frank Sinatra)
I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.
As Good As I Once Was
Toby Keith
Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
American folk song
that umbrella we employed it,
by August she was mine
Bus Stop ~ The Hollies
There she was just walking down the street
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back to see
If she was looking back at me
(something from before my time; I know the tune, and the rest of that verse, and that's all I know)
Well she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
I Saw Her Standing There
The Beatles
I was cold and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre could be burning on the edge of the ice field
"For Cryin' Out Loud," Meat Loaf
Well there is only one girl that I will ever love
But that was so many years ago
Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
Meatloaf
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an L on her forehead
Smashmouth
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
Fountain of Sorrow
Jackson Browne
At seventeen I learned the truth, that love was meant for beauty queens
Seventeen ~ Janis Ian
Good and bad we defined those terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
I know it by The Byrds in my head, but it's a Bob Dylan composition.
First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
I Will Survive
Gloria Gaynor
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while
Time of Your Life ~ Green Day
It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
"You Never Can Tell"
she was a long cool woman in a black dress
The Hollies
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
Joy to the World
Three Dog Night
There was a time when men were kind
"I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" (The best audition piece I had in my repertoire, but, thanks to Susan Boyle, now totally unusable for the next century.)
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
El Paso
Marty Robbins
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy
Was he
One of the best songs I've ever known. Short and sweet and surprising for little kids.
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
Played until my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Brian Adams
When I was a girl
My mom and I we always talked
"When I was a Boy," Dar Williams
I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
Bob Wills and others
I was sittin' there
Sellin' turnips on a flat bed truck
Billy Currington
You were meant for me and I was meant for you
Jewel
It was the third of June
Another sleepy, dusty, delta day
("Ode to Billy Joe")
In '69 I was twenty one
And I called the road my own
Running on Empty
Jackson Browne
She was a friend to me when I needed one
That Girl Could Sing
Jackson Browne
Here come those tears again
Just when I was getting over you
Just when I was gonna make it through another night
Without missing you
Here Come Those Tears Again
Jackson Browne
Though I keep a watch over the distance
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
Farther On
Jackson Browne
Looking hard into your eyes
There was nobody I'd ever known
Such an empty surprise
To feel so alone
Late For the Sky
Jackson Browne
