Survive The LYRICS

[Kol]

Welcome to Survive the lyrics, the first in a series of survive the.... games.

How it will work? I will present songs lyrics and you will name the song. It will be split into rounds, the lowest scorers in each round will be eliminated until we have 2 players left.

We need more info!. Each round will contain the lyrics from 8 songs. The lowest scorers in each round will be eliminated, the other players will move on to the next round. If only one player is left from a particular round, one of the eliminated players will advance to the final based on the performance in the tournament at that point. 

All the lyrics here will be from the beginning on the song. If there is a do whoop, diddly dee, jabba daba do at the start, I will skip this and present the first proper words in the song.
All songs are famous, everyone will know the song if not the lyrics, nothing obscure here.
Each round will be run over a full day, so plenty of time to get your entries in.
While the round is live, I would recommend no chat on tread as it could influence others.
The final will be slightly different. There will be 3 batches on songs (A, B, C) Each player can pick one (both can pick the same if they wish) The remaining batches will be used for tie-breakers.

Well that sounds fine, could be fun. 

Hold on there a minute, did I mention the 4 tokens each player has?

You all start with 4 tokens which you can use at any point. 

Year: This token will give you the year of ONE song that you are stuck on (The original release in cases where there were also covers)
Artist: This token will give you the artist of ONE song you are stuck on (The original artist in cases where there were also covers)
Piggyback: This token lets you copy the answer of ONE song of another player (You can choose the player)
Assassin: This token can win you all the remaining tokens from another player, if you play it in a round on a particular player and they get eliminated, you earn their tokens.

I know it sounds complicated, I will explain more if we ever get going. Let me know if you're interested.

You'll need someone to be last so count me in 🤣

[nothing]

I'm in too

[Jluv]

Count me in Kol..

[ShaneU]

Sounds fun I'm in

[Neowise]

i'll play the assasin on myself on round 1.

[RSOAPS]

I can be pretty rubbish with lyrics, but will give it a go

[E.N.]

I used to run a music quiz in the students union with a lyrics round every week, so I'm in if you promise it'll all be late-90s, early-2000s indie

[aaronjennings]

Sounds interesting, I'll give it a go

[Kol]

Right we have a few interested, going to kick off round 1 today. Remember only those who play round 1 will be eligible to continue.

Please PM all answers to me and mention if you would like to use a token also (multiple tokens can be use in thee same round)
I'm going to leave the chat open during the game but please don't say too much about your answers or how many you think you got right. (Things like this round was easy or difficult is fine)
I will accept answers until 8PM each day, this gives us time to discuss each round afterwards.

If there is anything you need me to answers please let me know.

As we are running this quite quickly, I will give a shout out to a few of you who usually take part in these kind of games, apologies if I miss anyone

Round 1

Please PM your answers and this is a NON GOOGLE game
Ideally I would like a min of 10 players, so will leave this round open until then or 8PM if we have enough players by then.

1. "We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I"

2. "Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?"

3. "Oceans apart, day after day
And I slowly go insane"

4. "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left"

5. "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti"

6. "Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top"

7. "Candlelight and soul forever
A dream of you and me together"

8. "Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school"

[jp liz v1]

I'm in but sometimes I have my own lyrics to songs

[E.N.]

[Necro]

One of these caused me an aneurysm, thanks Kol 🤣🤣

In!

[ari101]

And I'm in 🥳

[Kol]

Thanks for all the entries so far. A question was asked, will I accept corrections before the deadline, yes I will. Be careful with the token though as I will reply to you as soon as I see your PMs, I won't wait until the deadline to get back to you.

[Leg End Reject]

I'll get answers in soon Kol.

[BuileBeag]

Oooh thanks for tagging me Kol! I'll definitely play, Ill try to get answers in shortly

[Leg End Reject]

In, had to sing a few of them in my head to get the name!

If it's slightly wrong but obvious does it still count?

[Declan A Walsh]

I was inclined initially not to take part. Then I had a look at a couple of lyrics and recognised a few immediately. So, I considered taking part. Then I hit a wall with some others and realised that I would probably have to deploy most of my tags. So, my first instinct was right! Sorry!!

Ah go on, no one will know every song in every round! Some will probably be guesses or just not answered.

Sure no one would play any games if it was all about winning. Well, except ShaneU, Nitters and Homer.

There might be a surprise happening tonight, I'd urge you to play.

If anyone used a token I will reply to you soon.

[jp liz v1]

I have one of the songs now stuck in my head, humming it away

[BuileBeag]

Why do I think it's a sinister surprise?
Like Kol was hacked into Leggys camera and is gonna play footage of her singing her way through all the questions?

Ooh I hope it's that!!!
