(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!

Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Into the Ocean ~ Blue October
Fish gotta swim
And birds gotta fly
I gotta love one man til I die
Can't help loving that man of mine.
(Kern/Hammerstein, from "Show Boat")
But if I can't swim after 40 days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
-Jars of Clay "Flood" (oh man thats from like 4th or 5th grade, way to make me feel older than i should)
My son was once afraid to swim
The water made him wince
Until I said he mustn't swim
Been swimming ever since
from "The Fantasticks"
However, the first song I thought of was Sade's "Lover's Rock." For the longest time I thought she sang "you're the one I swim to in a storm" until someone pointed out to me that I was, sadly, mistaken.
Then quickly he turned 'round
And he swam to the portside
"The Golden Vanity" (a ballad)
All you know is when I'm with you I make you free
and swim through your veins like a fish in the sea...
---Uncle Kracker, "Follow Me"
He run 'til he come to a broken-down bridge
He fell to his breast and swum, swum
He fell to his breast and swum
He swam 'til he came to the green grass growin'
And he jumped to his feet and run...
Matty Grove (another ballad)
Jenny's afraid of water
I mean she swims so well
But still
She's afraid of water
And so she won't go near the sea
Not me
(Jason Robert Brown, "I'm Not Afraid")
Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam
Lay the bend to the bonny broom...
Binnorie, or The Twa Sisters (yet another ballad)
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
"Nightswimming," R.E.M.
