Sing, Sing A Song...

Excuse me while I do some horn-tooting. I have won this round of Redneck Diva's writing challenge. As Diva herself would say...I am happier than a puppy with two p*ckers. Thanks to all of you who voted for me. Thanks to all of you who voted. We are trying to get more voters, and more contestants. Won't you please play along this week? The words will be posted soon. I should know. I get to make them up. Check it out at writeinthethickofit.blogspot.com. All are welcome to submit a story. You just email it to the Diva. Her email is on the top of the site. Come one, come twenty...we need fresh blood. Not that we're going to make you bleed or anything. It's just an expression.

Let's have a little song trivia for tonight's post. Oh. Y'all don't have a vote. It's not a freakin' democracy around here, people! All you get to vote on is the writing contest. So don't abuse the privilege, by cracky!

Hillbilly Mom's Song Triva From Her Windows Media Player Because She Is Electronically Challenged And Has Not Yet Mastered The New-Fangled MP3 Player, Much Less One Of Those Space-Age IPOD Thingies.

Tell the song OR the artist. Because you deserve a break today. But NO GOOGLING! Absolutely none. And here's a clue...these are the opening lines of the songs, not the catch phrase, or some chunk from the middle.

1. "Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go."

2. "City girls just seem to find out early/ How to open doors with just a smile/A rich old man, she won't have to worry/She'll dress up all in lace and go in style."

3. "You had a little love on a little honeymoon/You got a little dish and you got a little spoon/A little bitty house and a little bitty yard/A little bitty dog and a little bitty car."

4. "It's criminal, there ought to be a law/Criminal, there ought to be a whole lot more/You get nothin' for nothin' / Tell me who can you trust?/We got what you want/And you got the lust"

5. "I didn't ask/They shouldn't have told me/At first I'd laugh, but now/It's sinking in fast/Whatever they've sold me."

6. "My daddy was a charmer boys/He had a lot of style/He was the shining best of everything he did/They said that he could lighten up the room with just a smile/And I was proud as hell to be his kid."

7. "She turned up her nose as she walked by my Cadillac/From the corner of my eye, I saw you and you laughed/You was sittin' on the swing on your front porch, paintin' your nails like you were bored/And you yelled 'She was sure impressed with you!'"

8. "I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling/Want to call you on the telephone, baby, and give you a ring/Each time I try, I get the same old thing/'No huggy, no kissy, until I get a weddin' ring'"

9. "It was the third of June/Another sleepy, dusty delta day/I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay/And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat/And Momma hollered out the back door, 'Y'all remember to wipe you feet...'"

10. "I was a mess in my open-eyed youth, I grew up thinking /What's good for one oppresses the other, it's my turn, my life, my way, mine, me/It made me crazy, I couldn't fight it, I couldn't wait to get away...It's a war, with the whole wide world/It's a war, with the boys and girls, it's a war, and nothin's gonna change..."


Yeah. That's it. Good luck. Methinks you'll need it. Or not.
