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 booked himself a room at the local saloon

Then I learned to play some mean guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
I stepped outside and smoked myself a J.
When I come back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play -
And it was late in the evening,
And I blew that room away!
Late in the Evening

Her scepter is a wineglass
And a barstool is her throne

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free

Here in the bar, the piano man's found another nail for my heart.

He said "I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
Cause I drinks a bit"

Jerry Jeff Walker
But Rico went a bit too far, and Tony sailed across the bar...
Copacabana - Barry Manilow
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
A Boy Named Sue
Johnny Cash
Three jolly coachmen sat in an English tavern
And they decided... to have another flagon

I might have known you'd never make a wife
