Song lyrics game

gib · 7th January 2018, 12:10 AM

shamelessly lifted from another board, the idea is to reword a lyric or two from a well known song and people have to guess what it is

to kick off:

fret not over any single matter, the reason for this is that even the smallest of these will turn out well

PS extra points for doing this in a 'splainbot stylee, points deducted for using an obscure song you happen to like

Don't worry be happy.

incorrect, that would be much more concise, such as 'fret not, rejoice'

borealis · 7th January 2018, 12:29 AM

okay.

borealis · 7th January 2018, 12:30 AM

It's on the tip of my brain...

gib · 7th January 2018, 12:50 AM

I awoke sometime before noon and grinned alongside the ascending local star

borealis · 7th January 2018, 12:54 AM

when I woke up this morning... smiled with the sun...

someone get in here and help

Hint?

Timewave · 7th January 2018, 01:02 AM

The problem gib is that the song's can be so obscure that no one can guess.

e.g old australian hits no one outside of australia would no.
regga/ska of which I know about three songs.

Okay, I guess this tries to address the issue, although I have not listerned to a sing ed sheeran song so that is pretty obscure to me.

Timewave · 7th January 2018, 01:20 AM

What was that other song like be happy.
The newer one by ?????

borealis · 7th January 2018, 01:22 AM

I dunno, but how about questions:

Gib, is this an old pop song, like 70s/80s.

Timewave · 7th January 2018, 01:23 AM

I'm Happy
Pharell Williams

Timewave · 7th January 2018, 01:23 AM

Yeah probably should give a decade for the song.

Timewave · 7th January 2018, 01:31 AM

it's candance is like 'Desiderata'

Timewave · 7th January 2018, 01:35 AM

Or a Donovan song like Sunshine Superman.

Zeluvia · 7th January 2018, 09:12 AM

good guess but nothing about not fretting.

I was thinking Cat Stevens, morning has broken... but nothing about the fretting their either

Zeluvia · 7th January 2018, 09:19 AM

Bob Marley.... Three Little Birds.

Dont worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Rise up this mornin, Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou

I still DO NOT HAVE A YOUTUBE thingy IN my MENU bar.

Carlsson · 7th January 2018, 09:49 AM

Have you earned it?

gib · 7th January 2018, 11:01 AM

Yes, nothing motivates me more than sharing joy.

Zeluvia · 7th January 2018, 03:21 PM

checking the rules, do I have to start with the first line of the song? and what constitutes Popular?

gib · 7th January 2018, 03:24 PM

doesn't have to be first line

popular = popular enough so you don't kill yourself while people fail to guess it. Apparently Bob Marley is too obscure for everyone except you so let that be a guide.
