  1. I can't see you, mama
    But I can hardly wait
    Oh, to touch and to feel you, mama
    Oh, I just can't keep away

     

    In the heat and the steam of the city
    Oh, it's got me running and I just can't brake
    So say you'll help me, mama
    'Cause it's getting so hard, oh-ooh

  2. Time and motion
    Wind and sun and rain
    Days connect like boxcars in a train

     

    Fill them up with precious cargo
    Squeeze in all that you can find
    Spontaneous elation
    And the long-enduring kind

  3. For Wordle, I usually start with a word with at least 2 if not 3 vowels and 2 or 3 of the "usual suspect" consonants (S, T, R, N). Since becoming part of the NY Times, far too many "good luck guessing the final letter" kinds of words, like _OUND...you can burn through all of your remaining guesses cycling through BOUND, FOUND, ROUND, WOUND, POUND, etc.

     

    I use the same strategy for Dordle and sometimes Quordle.

     

    For Octordle and Sedecordle, I'll use the same strategy using my first two guesses to cover more ground.

     

    Latest addition to my morning repetoire? Nerdle...basically Wordle but math instead of words. Need to guess a simple equation using 0-9, +, -, *, /, and =

  4. All night long (all night), All night (all night)
    All night long (all night), All night (all night)
    All night long (all night), All night (all night)
    All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)

  5. Looking for the perfect work-life balance? Have I got the solution for you! Join Lumon Industries and undergo a simple, minimally invasive procedure and enjoy perfect work-life balance...because your work life is literally severed from your personal life, in that your "work" self literally knows nothing about anything that happens outside of work, and vice versa. What can possibly go wrong?

  6. Well, Johnny made a record
    Went straight up to number one
    Suddenly everyone loved
    To hear him sing the song

     

    Watchin' the world go by
    Surprisin' it goes so fast
    Johnny looked around him and said, "Hey
    I made the big-time, I made the big-time at last, yeah!"

  7. Young enough not to care too much
    About the way things used to be
    I'm young enough to remember the future
    The past has no claim on me

     

    I'm old enough not to care too much
    About what you think of me
    But I'm young enough to remember the future
    The way things ought to be

  8. He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
    They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
    They had one thing in common
    They were good in bed, she'd say
    "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"

  9. The 4 play-in games (technically "first four" games) are made up of 2 16 vs 16 games, an 11 vs 11 game, and a 12 vs 12 game. When play-in games first started around 2000, when the Mountain West (?) conference was formed increasing the number of automatic bids by one, it was only the 16s that played it. Games were low rated (who watches two 16s play other than family and alumni? Plus, other than UMBC knocking off Virginia a few years ago, no 16 seed has ever beat a higher seed).

     

    Adding 11/12s to the play-in schedule, more specifically the 4 lowest rated at-large teams, best as I can guess was done to give more deserving bubble teams a shot, since prior to this the addition of the Mountain West took away one at-large bid. Adding 11/12s to the play-in schedule also attracts more interest and TV viewers, since those teams do have legitimate shots at going deeper into the tournament. 

     

    Short answer - money

  10. I'll never be your beast of burden
    My back is broad but it's a-hurting
    All I want for you to make love to me
    I'll never be your beast of burden
    I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
    All I want for you to make love to me

  11. I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
    I'm cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on the floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
    You're a little late
    I'm already torn

  12. Well I started out down a dirty road
    Started out all alone
    And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
    And the town lit up, the world got still

     

    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing

  13. If you ever plan to motor west,
    Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
    Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

     

    It winds from chicago to la,
    More than two thousand miles all the way.
    Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

  14. Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of your hand?
    Hey Joe, I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Oh
    I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
    You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man, yeah

  15. My sisters and I
    Have one wish before we die
    And it may sound strange
    As if our minds are deranged
    Please don't ask us why
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    We have this strange obsession
    You have the means in your possession

     

    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you

  16. You got me runnin', goin' out of my mind
    You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time

    Don't bring me down
    No, no, no, no, no
    Ooh-ooh-hoo
    I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
    Don't bring me down

  17. Well, I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
    About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
    Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
    My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late
    Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
    'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
