(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!

Ain't no mountain high enough,
ain't no valley low enough
(Diana Ross is who I remember singing it)
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're lookin' for a wife
(I have no idea who; 1960's C&W ... ooooh! it has a knife!)
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see
(Had to go quite a way on that one to get eight different words. :-)
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark flat land she rides
Wildfire
Michael Martin Murphy
Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee
Greenest state in the Land of the Free...
Davy Crockett tv themesong
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
Landslide
Fleetwood Mac
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Til you find your dream.
(Rodgers/Hammerstein, from "The Sound of Music")
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
John Denver
(Heh. Works here too.)
I met her on the mountain
And there I took her life
Met her on the mountain,
Stabbed her with my knife.
"Tom Dooley", Kingston Trio
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plains
America the Beautiful
(I like this word)
she'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
kids' song that started as an old gospel
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley folk below
One Tin Soldier
Coven
An inspiration from Deborah--that is, if "mountaineer" counts:
Come and listen to my story
'Bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer
Barely kept his family fed
(theme song from "The Beverly Hillbillies")
Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
Going to California
Led Zeppelin
Oh, the buzzin' of the beas
In the bubblegum trees
And the soda water fountains!
Lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
--"Big Rock Candy Mountain," Tom Chapin version.
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.
Wave goodbye to the cares of the day.
A lullabye my mom used to sing to me, and then I sang to Tamzin.
It was also used in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
"Those who Trust in the Lord
Are a Strong Mountain"
Those Who Trust
-Enter the Worship Circle
(quoted from Psalm 125:1)
"If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream,
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are,
Just open your window, and follow your memory upstream,
To the meadow in the mountains where we counted every falling star."
Paul Simon, "Father and Daughter"
