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!
(was supposed to be the possessive form, but you may use any variation)

Michael Jackson, THE GIRL IS MINE
Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I'm so proud I am the only one
Who is special in her heart
The girl is MINE
The doggone girl is MINE
I know she's MINE
Because the doggone girl is MINE
A duet with Paul McCartney

She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet ch1ld o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet ch1ld o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Jet--Are you gonna be my girl?
So 1,2,3 take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
That i really wanna make you mine
I say you look so fine
That i really wanna make you mine
Oh 4,5,6 c'mon and get your kicks
Now you don't need that money
With a face like that do ya?
Big black boots
Long brown hair
She's so sweet
With her get back stare
Well i could see
You home with me
But you were with another man, yeah!
I know we ain't got much to say
Before i let you get away, yeah!
I said, are you gonna be my girl?
Guns-n-Roses--You could be mine
I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit to burn
And i'll rip your heart in two
And i'll leave you lying on the bed
I'll be out the door before you wake
It's nothing new to you
Cause i think we've seen that movie too
Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done
I said you could be mine
They hated every part of me
Expect me to forget it
They tried so hard to bury me
But I survived it every time
Convicted of every crime
Silently doing time
But when I get outta here
I wanna make it clear
Vengeance is MINE
Vengeance is MINE, MINE, MINE
To forgive is divine
But vengeance is MINE, MINE, MINE
They tortured every inch of me
Then expect me to forget it
They thought that they would finish me
But I pull through every time
Punish me everyday
But I'll never break
Hold on to all your fears
'Cause when I get outta here
Vengeance is MINE
Vengeance is MINE, MINE, MINE
To forgive is divine
But vengeance is MINE, MINE, MINE

Jane's Addiction--Been caught stealing
I've been caught stealing
Once when i was 5
I enjoy stealing
It's just as simple as that
Well it's just a simple fact
When i want something, man
I don't wanna pay for it
Then i walk right through the door
And i walked right through the door
Hey alright, if i get by
It's mine
Mine all mine
My girl, she's one too
She'll go and get a skirt
Stick it under her shirt
She grabbed a razor for me
And she did it just like that
When she wants something, man
She don't wanna pay for it
She'll walk right through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey alright, if i get by
It's mine
Mine all mine

"Can't Help Lovin' That Man" this version by Julie London
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy (maybe I know)
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day
But when he comes back, that day is fine
The sun will shine
He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

All through' the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
All through' the night
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Now they're frightened of leaving it
Ev'ryone's weaving it,
Coming on strong all the time,
All through' the day I me mine.
I-I-me-me mine, I-I-me-me mine,
I-I-me-me mine, I-I-me-me mine.
All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one's frightened of playing it
Ev'ryone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through' the day I me mine.
I-I-me-me mine, I-I-me-me mine,
I-I-me-me…

Oh mine eyes have seen the glory of the theories of Freud,
He has taught me all the evils that my ego must avoid.
Repression of the impulses resulting paranoid
As the id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory glory sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the id goes marching on
There was a man who thought his friends to him were all superior
And this complex he imagined made life drearier and drearier
Till his analyst assured him that he really was inferior
As the id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory glory sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the id goes marching on
Do you drown your superego in a flood of alcohol, or something else,
And go running after women till you're just about to fall.
You may…
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?

Rod Stewart, THIS OLD HEART OF MINE
This old heart of MINE been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, I fear you've gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow, bringing you back again
Hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by you got me
Never knowing if I'm coming or going, but I, I love you
This old heart darling, is weak for you
I love you, yes, I do
These old arms of MINE miss having you around
Makes these tears inside start a-falling down
Always with half a kiss
You remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I
I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you
I love you, yes I do, yes I do
Ooh, I try hard to hide, my hurt inside
This old heart of MINE always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treating me, leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week now
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I
I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you
I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you

Wind me up, let me go - Cliff Richard
only registered users can see external links
I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands
I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands
You've never really loved me I know
So wind me up, let me go
I'm just a play thing till you see someone else
And then you leave me alone on the shelf
But even tin soldiers have hearts, don't you know?
So wind me up, let me go
You don't really need me, you've a hundred other toys
And tear drops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys
So pick…
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother, he ain't heavy

Listen to the WIND blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
And if, you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
Listen to the WIND blow, down comes the night
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light

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

Sheryl Crow--Everyday is a winding road
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repairman
He said he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes
Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
There ought to be a law against it
To lead a man on and then let him go
What's the world comin' to
When you can't slide into home?
Tell it like it is woman
Tell the boy maybe or never mind
We could go all the way
The big boys don't like to waste time
Wind me up
I need enough to keep me satisfied
Wind me up
I want to hold you, but my hands are tied
Wind me up
You kiss me quick and then
You turn me off
Wind me up
The only way she winds you up
Is when you ask for too much trouble
Ain't no room for a second chance
When the first one ain't even over
Packed with a powerful love
That I just can't get enough of
Lay your cards on the table
Baby, make no mistake about it

Prince, EVERY DAY IS A WINDING ROAD
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes
[Chorus]
Everyday is a WINDING road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling.....
