10/3 Lyrical Pursuit

Welcome to the Friday edition of Lyrical Pursuit. Today is double day. We start with an easy one and then get a more challenging one later on. Double Day is cancelled as Jim's Friday plans changed and he has to go pimp up shortly.

Have at it!

(Da Rules)

Please baby can't you see
Im trying to explain
Ive been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again

Bonus point: Name the album that the artist dedicated "To my father with all my love".

Clue #1: Expanded lyric.
Jen's Freebie Clue: It's a chick breakup song.
Clue #2: David Crosby is her baby daddy.
Clue #3: S.O. is Tammy Lynn Michaels but Julie Cypher was her baby momma.
Clue #4: Her name rhymes with Alyssa Betheridge.
Clue #5: Is Jen the only one who likes this song?

Just say "NO" to Google!

OMG, I still *love* that song.

I know the song and the artist, and because I've never liked said song; I'm opting to withhold my answer.

Because winning a war is more important to me than winning a Lyrical Pursuit.

That is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

This song is teh awesome. It's in the Top Three Girlie Breakup Songs: Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know", Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", and this.

So, like, free clue.

Right... Anybody who knows the answer and doesn't post it for some weird conceptual reason that nobody else gives a flying fig about is a bit off in my book.

I'm more than a bit off. Just let the record show.

But to make my original point:
This artist just had so much other great music that never got any air play because all anyone ever wanted to hear was paltry breakup music. A string of cliches set to music. It was like being forced to read the same issue of Seventeen when all you really wanted to do was wander through an Emerson anthology.

And also because I'm feeling punchy today. Someone said something to me yesterday that got under my skin; and I got up today feeling contentious.

Posted by: shank at October 3, 2008 12:02 PM

I wasn't talking about you, shank. I was talking about Jen.

:P

So, shank... Do you often get the urge to wander through an Emerson anthology? This would explain a lot.

Am I the only one (cough, cough) who thinks I shouldn't play my own game? It just seems wrong.

Posted by: Jennifer at October 3, 2008 12:52 PM

And also, Shank? Grow a pair.

Posted by: Jennifer at October 3, 2008 12:53 PM

Yup. You're the only one. Besides, for October it's MY game.

I like clue #4. It was funny.

Which is unusual for this blog.

Grumpy Grumps aside...can I guess? Cuz I totally know it.

Oh nevermind...I didn't read on.

I haven't had my coffee yet!
