Brian Gray - Svengoolie 04:00
lyrics
It seems like every year there’s, some kind of new frontier to boldly go through. And every day you hear of, something you should have fear of. Let us show you. But there are moments between the latest, greatest machine. I think you know what I mean: the times of Something to hold to <<Learning how to ride a bike, baseball when they’re not on strike>> Something to count on <<Melodies to harmonize, chasing after fireflies>> And me and you, a garden view, and a million songs to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night When times are not as rosy, we still can watch Lugosi sagely skirt the sun Under a grainy moon, a little Chaney Jr. never hurt no one Between a bubbling vat and beaked skeleton rat, there stands the Man in the Hat to bring you Something to hold to <<Footie in a moccasin, stories where the good guys win>> Something to count on <<Hiking in the chaparral, scientific rationale>> And me and you, a barbecue, and a million songs to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night And I realize the real world’s still out there, and oftentimes unkind But let this unofficial chicken thrower help you find Something to hold to <<Beatles singing “Yesterday”, sunset over Hudson Bay>> Something to count on <<Wrapping up inside a hug, cocoa in a Simpsons mug>> And me and you, the songs we knew, and a million more to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night Something to hold to <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>> Something to count on <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>> And me and you, the morning dew, and a million songs to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night Something to hold to <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>> Something to count on <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>> Something to hold to <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>> Something to count on <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>

All The Robots - Mrs 03:44
lyrics

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen Rudolf, Kris Kringle and Frosty the Snowman Plus there’s this woman whose name you don’t know, man It’s Mrs. Mrs. Claus Mrs. She’s just Mrs. because She don’t have a first name like Nicholas Or it’s not apparent like “Kris” is So we have to call her the Mrs. Though she’s the first lady of Christmas Mrs. Claus I’m trying to feel the true spirit of Christmas Merrily caroling, can’t stay oblivious Obvious now to me how messed up this is I know the livestock, but don’t know the Mrs? It’s Mrs. Mrs. Claus Mrs. She’s just Mrs. because She don’t have a first name like Nicholas Or it’s not apparent like “Kris” is So we have to call her the Mrs. Though she’s the first lady of Christmas Mrs. Claus Have you noticed the silence on her end? Does anyone else think it’s weird? Is she his Canadian girlfriend? Is Mrs. Claus just Santa’s beard? Do you ever wonder if Mrs. Claus wishes To be half as famous as her man St. Nick is Or is she content with his whiskery kisses Does she know how sweet being anonymous is? I’m feeling stupid while she’s standing blameless Endlessly patient, eternally nameless Isn’t it funny how fickle her fame is Everyone knows her but thinks that her name is just Mrs. Mrs. Claus Mrs. She’s just Mrs. because She don’t have a first name like Nicholas Or it’s not apparent like “Kris” is So we have to call her the Mrs. Though she’s the first lady of Christmas Mrs. Claus

Dr. Lindyke - Lahra (Shadow) 03:37
lyrics

Wake up every morning in a strangers bed Brush the cobwebs from your eyes Wonder who we'll be today It's unknown but no surprise Ann she ran a marathon Monday has a child Tuesday calls for doctor's help Wednesday wears a smile Clad in chains of innocence It's the memory which survives Mother tries to keep in touch With this menagerie of lives Broken – Lahra You're a growing mystery A falling star In a whirlwind of insanity Broken – Lahra A tree of different leaves Many hearts A stranger to reality Thursday bought a wedding dress Friday buys a gun Saturday saw no hope But Hope sees Sunday come Beth had plans to buy some land But caution's Carrie's way Daphne logs her diary While Shelly's secrets fade [repeat chorus]

about

THE CHALLENGE:
Say My Name: Some first names have been immortalized in pop music, so that you can’t meet someone with that name without thinking of the corresponding song. (Don’t worry, they LOVE it when you sing their name at them immediately upon meeting them. It doesn’t get old at all.) Your job is to add to that list. The title of your song must be a given name which, to your knowledge, hasn’t already been immortalized in song. The name must feature prominently in the lyrics, ideally as a catchy melodic hook that listeners will forever get stuck in their head whenever they think of said name.
