(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!

You say yes
I say no
You say stop
I say go go go
No
You say goodbye
And I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
The Beatles
Well how come you say you will when you won't
Say you do, baby when you don't
Carl Perkins, and then The Beatles: "Honey Don't"
something has to happen
to change the direction
what little filters through
is giving you the wrong impression
it's a sorry state
I say to myself...
---Missing Persons, "Words"
Or it's - or it's - Hello? - Hello operator?
Yes, I've seemed to have lost the connection. Could you try again please?
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we've lost contact with Mars 2-4-7
at this time.
Clouds Across the Moon by Rah Band - great love song by the way
They tell you that the darkness
Is a blessing in disguise
'Cause you never have to notice
If you're sighted or you're blind,
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light.
--"From Me to You," Janis Ian
There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the rain for hours
You were late
Genesis
It rained all night the day I left;
The weather, it was dry.
Sun so hot, I froze to death.
Suzanna, don't you cry.
--"Oh, Suzanna," American folk song.
Communication breakdown
it's always the same
having a nervous breakdown
drive me insane...
---Led Zeppelin
Oh the games people play now,
Every night and every day, now.
Never meaning what they say, now.
Never saying what they mean.
--Don't know the artist, but it is about the best-selling book about Transactional Analysis, "Games People Play" by Eric Berne and/or the other best seller on this topic, "I'm OK/You're OK" by Thomas Harris.
You say "eether"
I say "eyether"
You say "neether"
I say "nyether".....
Let's call the whole thing off!
(George & Ira Gershwin)
How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
Synthetic atmosphere is lost
And forces the computers off
Communications are confused
The tides reverse and start a chain reaction
Peter Schilling "The Noah Plan"
When I took
you out
I knew what you were all about
but when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on...
---Robert Palmer
(How 'bout the way he acts?)
No, no, that's not the way,
And you're not a-listenin' to all I say
"It's in His Kiss", Aretha Franklin
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me
Elton John/Bernie Taupin
I'm a citizen of Legoland travelling incommunicado
And I don't give a damn for the Fleet Street afficionados
Imcommunicado by Marillion
I gave a letter to the postman
he put it in his sack
bright and early next morning
he brought that letter back
she wrote upon it
return to sender, address unknown
no such number, no such zone
we had a quarrel
a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry
but my letter keeps coming back
Elvis Presley
And he said "I haven't had a bite in three whole days"
Well I knew what he meant, but just to be funny
I took a big bite out of his jugular vein
Weird Al, "Albuquerque"
How do ya talk to a girl?
You just stand there
And you listen
And you listen
To what she has to say
(Van Heusen/Cahn)
This might not really be miscommunication, but
"You don't have to say you love me,
Just be close at hand
You don't have to say 'forever,'
I will understand..."
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have
Willie Nelson
And she says Oh
I say what
She says exactly
I say what, you think I'm angry, does that mean you think angry
"What do you hear in these sounds" Dar Williams
And she said,
Tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
Where I am
He said:
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
This is how I love you, baby.
(Paul Simon, "Hearts and Bones"
You say you're not being nostalgic.
Then tell me another word for it,
You who are so good with words
And with keeping things vague.
--"Diamonds and Rust," Joan Baez
