The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Psychic spies from China
Try to STEAL your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden
Dreams of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there and
I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Come on and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know
Why don't we STEAL away
Why don't we STEAL away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Don't tease me
Why don't you please me
And show me
What you came here for
Why don't we STEAL away
Why don't we STEAL away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night, babe
Baby, tonight
Ooh
I caught you glancing my way
And I know what you're after
No second chances tonight
Why don't we STEAL away
Why don't we STEAL away
Why don't we STEAL away
Why don't we STEAL away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Why don't we STEAL away
I know it ain't right
Into the night, babe
Why don't we STEAL away
Make it tonight
Why don't we STEAL away

Not guilty
For getting in your way
While you're trying to STEAL the day
Not guilty
And I'm not here for the rest
I'm not trying to steal your vest.
I am not trying to be smart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry for your ageing head
But like you heard me said
Not guilty.
Not guilty
For being on your street
Getting underneath your feet
Not guilty
No use handing me a writ
While I'm trying to do my bit.
I don't expect to take your heart . . .
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed . . .
But like you heard me said . . .
Not guilty.
Not guilty
For looking like a freak
Making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty
For leading you astray
On the road to Mandalay.
I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been misled . . .
But like you heard me said . . .
Not guilty.
Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.
Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
You can burn my house,
STEAL my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You know I′ll beg, STEAL or borrow
I bring you love

Now it′s very clear to me we should be together
You make me feel I could reach for the impossible
And knowing how much you care, I'll be there forever

You know I'll beg, steal or borrow to give you sunny days

So what if I have to wait, better late than never

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It is another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to STEAL
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And as her young man dies
(In the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
(In the ghetto)
(In the ghetto)
(Ah)
On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said "leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman STEAL
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
And when I walk the streets
Kings and Queens step aside
Every woman I meet
They all stay satisfied
I wanna tell ya pretty baby
Well Ya see I make my own
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad

I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
Said I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off.
Well, I made my first kill
With the old town girl
She was the apple of her daddy's eye
Well, that woman looked up at me
And I said, "Honey we'll be
Together 'til the day I die"
But I lied.
I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off.
There seems to be no end
Of women who are lookin' for a man
My services don't come cheap
But I help out when I can
Tell them lies that they wanna hear
And I really lead 'em on
Spend all of their money
And I'm long gone.
I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off.
I've got tastes for fast cars
I don't wanna settle down
The good life sure comes easily
With all the mugs around
The women they just come to me
I don't have to look around
I move into their homes with them
Then I move on.
I'm a bad, bad boy
And I'm gonna STEAL your love
I'm a bad, bad boy
I'm gonna STEAL your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off.
I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad boy
I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad,
I'm such a, such a bad, bad boy
I'm gonna rip you off
Just take control of your mind.
I'm a bad, bad boy
I'm gonna STEAL your love
I'm a bad, bad boy
I'm gonna STEAL your love
I'm gonna rip you off
Just take control of the time.
I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
You know, I'm a bad boy
I'm so bad...
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and STEAL my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
And tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.
And I'll be your crying shuoulder,
I'll be love's su-icide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
And you're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
And tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said
And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.
Steal My Kisses"
I pulled into Nashville, Tennessee, but you wouldn't even come around to see me
And since your headin' up to Carolina, You know I'm gonna be right there behind
you
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain, just to hear it fall is the
sweetest sounding thing
And to see it fall on your simple country dress it's like heaven to me I must
confess
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Now I've been hangin around you for days, but when I lean in you just turn your
head away
Oh no, you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think, but I hate the way you act
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

I wanna go see the country
I want to get out of here
I'm sick of looking at graffiti
On the walls of the grey walls, the city
I want to drive in the countryside
I want the breeze in my hair
I am touching your leg and
I have my hand in your hand
Take me to the beach
Take me to the country
Climb in the backseat
If you love me
Hire me a car
I wanna go driving
Climb in the backseat
That's where you'll find me
I see mosquitoes, they buzz past
Your hand is in mine
I look out the window, it looks stunning
To see the sun is setting in the sky
Everyone is wavin' out the window
It's like they're excited we're here
I stopped by the fish and chips shop
They act like mates, it makes me cheer
Take me to the beach
Take me to the country
Climb in the backseat
If you love me
Hire me a car
I wanna go driving
Climb in the backseat
That's where you'll find me
I want you to love me
Do you love me?
I tell you, time is not linear
Especially when we're here in this car
Your hand in my hair
My hand in your hand
I love breathin' this fresh air
We stop there right on the road side
I take my shoes off, ground's cold
The sun is still beaming through the moon, clouds and stars
I want it all
Take me to the beach
Take me to the country
Climb in the backseat
If you love me
Take me to the beach
Take me to the country
Climb in the backseat

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a foot-loose man

Sing it to me, honey

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favourite flavour, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me and that was "Dead"
I said to him
"You can't always get what you want, well, no"
You can't always get what you want, I tell you, baby
You can't always get what you want, no
But if you try sometime
You just might find, uh, mm

Woo!

All AROUND my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away
Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he
The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring
But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he
And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away
Here's a half a pound of reasons, and a quarter pound of sense
A small sprig of time and as much of prudence
You mix them all together and you will plainly see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he
And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away
All around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it

All around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away

In a hundred wars across the earth,
Men and guns are thought to prove their worth,
Women stay behind and grow the food,
Placing soldiers in a dangerous mood.
Women around the world at work,
Working, working...
There's a man who must be sixty-five,
Makes his living running other lives,
Tells them when they can't and when they can,
They're so busy they don't give a damn.
Women around the world at work...
Working, working...
In The Daily X, May '81,
Back-page human interest story runs:
"GIRLS OF TWELVE STILL SOLD FOR LOVE TODAY",
Just so men can have their bloody way.
Women around the world at work...

The Cascades
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart
Rain, please tell me now, does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart
Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so?
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, oh
Listen, listen to the falling rain
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, oh

[Grace Jones:] "I have a grandfather on my father’s side. He’s 95 years old. His great grandfather came from Nigeria, from the Ebo tribe. I don’t look like my mother and I don’t look like my father. I look exactly like my grandfather. I act like him."
[Paul Morley:] "Do you act all the time?"
[Grace Jones:] "Not all the time. No."

With the RHYTHM in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
I know what you like
You know just what to do to me
The rhythm is right
We have fun with harmony
You got the bass, I can pick up the pace
There's no time to wait
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be
Like you and me
With the rhythm in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
So good together
Some people work better solo
But I could never
Be without you, oh no
I'd miss you touch, as it is
I can't get enough, I'm in heaven above
I give you a melody that's always new
You've got a good beat, I can dance to you
Spinning for as long as we can
Come on let's jam
With the rhythm in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
With the rhythm in our loving
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
Le beat de jour
C'est le beat d'amour
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be
Like you and me

At night
When you turn off all the lights
There's no place that you can hide
Oh no

In bed
Throw the covers on your head
You pretend like you are dead
But I know it
The rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight
No way
You can fight it every day
But no matter what you say
You know it
The rhythm is gonna get you
No clue
Of what's happening to you
And before this night is through
Ooh, baby

Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slipping away
Let me still exist, in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
Flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, someway
Where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
Photographs and kerosene
Light up my darkness
Light it up! Light it up!
I can still feel the touch
Of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing
I will
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
No expression on my face
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
Oh, the RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
The RHYTHM of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words, "I love you"
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing

When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my (city RHYTHM) nights in the city's lights (ooh)
And things don't seem so bad
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I lose my blues
When the New York City rhythm fills my soul
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
When I'm out (city rhythm) for love or sin (ooh)
Oh, it's good to be in town
In the funky (city rhythm) dives on the old west side (ooh)
There's always somethin' goin' down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
You know that I don't care
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' through' my life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life

I've been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got
She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street
Wearing dresses so tight
And looking dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No doubt about it can't live without it
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)

She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me
Love me till I'm legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the Third World War
You know I'm losin' sleep
I'm in too deep
Like a body needs blood
No doubt about it, can't live without it
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)
The girl's got RHYTHM (girl's got RHYTHM)
She's got the backseat RHYTHM (backseat RHYTHM)

And when she lets me in
It's like liquid love
