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!

Great work everyone on a tough word
Human League, THINGS THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
Take time to see the wonders of the world
To see the things you've only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought you'd never ever see
Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain
Go round the world again and again
Meet a girl on a boat meet a boy on a train
And fall in love without the pain
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Take a lift to the top of the EMPIRE State
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've ever dared
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends

My little empire
I'm sick of being sick
My little empire
I'm tired of being tired
My little empire
I'm bored of being bored
My little empire
I'm happy being sad

......
Lying on my side you were half awake
And your face was tired and crumpled
If I had a camera I'd snap you now
Cause there's beauty in every stumble
We are out of practice we're out of sight
On the edge of nobody's empire
And if we live by books and we live by hope
Does that make us targets for gunfire?

Trivia - many Brits my age will remember the children’s T V series of the same name broadcast in the 1960s, but totally unrelated to the group.

On of my favorite songs of theirs. Things seemed simpler then. Had a drill instructor that was in love with the early Stones and that's what we listened to everyday.

Ohio Players, FIRE
Hey, now, huh-huh
Hey, hey, hey, no, (Ow, now)
Hey, now, huh-huh
Hey, hey, hey, no
Fire (uh) (uh)
Fire (It's all about) (Uh, uh)
Fire (Woo, woo, woo)
Fire
The way you walk and talk really sets me off
To a fuller love, child, yes, it does, uh
The way you squeeze and tease, knocks to me my knees
'Cause I'm smokin', baby, baby
The way you swerve and curve, really wrecks my nerves
And I'm so excited, child (Yeah), woo, woo
The way you push, push let's me know that you're good
(You're gonna get your wish) Oh, yeah

Cast your mind back ten years
To the girl who's next to me in school
If I put my hand upon her leg
She'd hit me with a rule
Though tomorrow won't be long
You're gonna have to play it cool
You've been fascinated by her
She could set the place on fire
Run and get the fire brigade
Get the fire brigade

The NEW word; PARK(S)

aturday in the PARK,
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the PARK,
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
Everybody is another
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday

Over Bridges of Sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under Dreaming Spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? - I got high
What did you feel there? - Well I cried
But why the tears there? - I'll tell you why - yyyyy
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful

Sitting on a PARK bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snots running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run, hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck, oh, Aqualung

Sorry
These mistakes, I’ve made my fair share
When you needed me, I wasn’t there
I was young, I was dumb, I was so immature
And the things that I did made you so insecure
But, baby, I’m still your man, I swear
Please be patient with me
Please be patient with me
I know I'm not what you need
But, baby, I’m gonna be
So please be patient with me
.....
Not "patience", just patient......
White Stripes, OFFEND IN EVERY WAY
I'm PATIENT of this plan, as humble as I can.
I'll wait another day before I turn away.
But know this much is true, no matter what I do,
Offend in every way, I don't know what to say.

All right,
Wild child full of grace
Savior of the human race,
Your cool face
Natural child, terrible child
Not your mother's or your father's child
Your our child, screamin' wild

All we are is dust in the wind...

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.…
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the WIND
To be free again

After all jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the WIND whispers Mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the WIND, it cries Mary
