Here's a game I found on Amazon.com. Here's how it works: I say a word, and you have to come up with 10 songs that have the word in the title. Then, you pick a word for the next person to find 10 songs about. Sound fun? Ok, I'll start. The word is:
Fire and Rain (Cliff); I can't stand the rain; Rainy days and Mondays; Rainy night in Georgia; Raindrops keep falling on my head; Singing in the rain; It's raining men; Listen to the rhythm of the rain; Don't let it rain on my parade; Purple rain; Summer rain - okay, that's my 10. Next person has to find 10 songs with a month in the title, e.g. April, August, etc
January - Pilot January, February - Barbara Dickson March Ides - Matching Mole April in Paris - (a standard) May Morning - The Tremeloes June Bride - China Crisis Fouth of July - Sweet It Might as Well Rain Until September - Carole King October - U2 December will be Magic Again - Kate Bush
Now try 10 songs which mention the word...............MONEY
