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!

And a rock never cries
And an island feels no pain

You can leave it all behind
Sail to Lahaina...

And float us out to sea
And land us on an isle of gold

But you
You come from Rhode Island
And little old Rhode Island
Is famous for you
(Dietz/Schwartz)
From California, to the New York Island.
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters.
This land was made for you and me.
--Woody Guthrie
Because those green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills; they’re not my land’s hills.
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home.
A Scottish Soldier - Andy Stewart
Don't want to land on
Three Mile Island
Don't want to see my
skin aglow.
Volcano
Jimmy Buffet
