What's My Line - The Beatles Edition
November 8th, 2009 by Rodney LeeHow about a music game?
Here's how it'll work. I'll start off listing a couple of lines from a Beatles tune. Next poster who recognizes those lines post the following couple of lines and the song title. That poster will then lists a couple of lines from another Beatles or Beatle member's song to keep the game going.
* If you want to list more than just a couple of lines, that's cool too.
But I'm looking for just songs performed by the Beatles - or songs performed by Beatle members after the band broke up.
Here's an example:
Post#1:
"You know its' up to you,
I think it's only fair..."
Post #2:
"Pride can hurt you too,
Apologize to her"
She Loves You
"Well the undertaker drew a heavy sigh,
Seeing no one else had come,"
Post#3:
"And a bell was ringing in the village square,
For the rabbits on the run."
Band on the Run
"So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea of green..."
Okay, you got it? Continue the lyrics from the previous post, enter the song title, then start with lyrics from a new song.
- If a song was previously listed, that's okay - songs can be listed more than once.
- If there are multiple replies to the same song, go with the first one.
- Lyrics don't have to be exactly correct.
- Don't be afraid to use Google.

And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine
A woman that I know just came from Majorca Spain
She smiled because I did not understand
November 8th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine,
She said it was the finest in all the land.
And I said no, no, no, no,
I don't ** sniff sound ** it anymore,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor,
No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze,
And makes it hard to find the door.
The No-No Song
Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover...

A woman that I know just came from Majorca Spain

The No No Song by Ringo Star? (no, no, no I don't - no more, I'm tired of waking up on the floor...)
The girl that's driving me mad is going away, yeah...

Heh, totally not a Beatles fan at all, then or now, but games are fun
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her
"For No One"
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching their eyes and hoping I'm always there
