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!

I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive
Taylor Swift
I am the morning DJ at W-OLD
Playing all the hits for you,
Wherever you may be.
The bright "good morning" voice
That's heard but never seen,
Feelin' all of 45, goin' on 15.
--"WOLD," Harry Chapin
Look at me - I am old, but I'm happy
Yusuf Islam
Aw c'mon - he was Cat Stevens when he wrote that. :)
Get out old Dan's records!
We're all here, we've all got dates,
We'll dance all night to the 78s.
--"Old Dan's Records," Gordon Lightfoot
[How appropriate--the word verification for this entry is "coott"!]
It's that ole devil called love again,
Gets behind me, keeps givng me that shove again.
Ole Devil Called Love (I'm thinking of the Alison Moyet version but think that was a cover?)
I hear their gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe
19th century politically-incorrect song
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady from Pasadena.
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard.
--"Little Old Lady from Pasadena," Jan and Dean
That old black magic
has me in its spell
that old black magic
that you weave so well...
---Kevin Spacey, et al.
Farewell to old England forever
Farewell to you numbskulls as well
And farewell to the well known old Bailey
Where I always did look such a swell
Rolf Harris - Botany Bay
People try to put us down, just because we get around
Things they do seem awful cold, hope I die before I get old
My Generation, The Who
Way down yonder in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten.
--"Dixieland," traditional
Remember the days of the old schoolyard - we used to cry a lot
Yus ... err ... Cat Stevens
I hope when I get old
I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen
The old days are gone
That had use for a man
Who supported his lordship,
Protecting his land.
--"Fire in the Glen," sung by Andy M. Stewart
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
(Rice & Menken)
Hey, old friends
What do you say, old friends?
(Stephen Sondheim)
Seems like old times
Having you to talk with
Seems like old times
Having you to walk with
(written by Carmen Lombardo; this was Arthur Godfrey's theme song, about 100 years ago)
They're either too young or too old
They're either too gray
Or too grassy green
The pickings are poor
And the crop is lean
What's good is in the Army
What's left will never harm me
(Schwartz/Loesser)
I'm old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
(Kern/Mercer)
Give me that old time religion,
It's good enough for me!
--Traditional.
(I kind of like Joseph Campbell's version, when he asked Bill Moyers how "old timey" you wanted to get. "Let's worship Zarathustra, just like we used ta." And, "Let's worship Aphrodite, in her little nighty. She's sometimes kind of flighty, but she's good enough for me.")
[Ellen's old fashioned things reminded me of this one:]
Just an old fashioned love song
Playin' on the radio.
--written by Paul Simon
Old friends
Sit on a park bench like book ends
Book Ends - Simon & Garfunkel
Old trees, they just get stronger.
Old rivers get wider every day.
But old people, they just get lonesome,
Lookin' for someone to say
"Hello in there, hello."
--"Old People," John Prine
Make new friends, but keep the old;
One is silver and the other gold.
--We used to sing that at Brownie meetings in the 1960s.
