The Queen's Meme #46 ~ The Song Lyrics Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #46.
The subject is music.

*sorry this meme is a tad late. I was quite literally under a tree. Details on my blog later*

I had lunch this week with bloggers Ferd and Gail. He described a game his kids played recently while they were visiting in which a word was given and the players had to come up with a song title using that word and then sing the song. I said, "What a great idea for Monday's Queen's Meme!" sans the singing (unless you want to make a video and that would be extra bonus points with the Queen!!!) ...and possibly no dungeon for the rest of your blog life.
So Song Lyrics it is. Thanks to Ferd and his happy family.

I used a random word generator to find the words.
Your job is to find a song that uses this word either in the title or lyrics. Give us the title or part of the lyric that fits and the artist. Then say a little something about the tune and why you chose it. Posting a YouTube video of the song would be great! (but not required)
Here we go.

A website called "Who Does That Song?" might help.
Just type in the word and your choices are endless.

1. Want

2. hell

3. smack

4. ugly

5. beast

6. Romeo

7. God

Good luck!

2. You are standing in the checkout line at the grocery store. A homeless man walks by and asks for food from your grocery cart. What would you do?

4. Photography Class 101. First exam. The slide show you are presenting is the wrong one. You accidentally left last weekend's party pics in the camera instead. The whole class is watching....

6. Your plane lands in the wrong vacation spot but you like this one better.

7. You walk out of the doctor's office. The news after your yearly checkup is very very good but the news for the person you'd been sitting beside and chatting with in the waiting room is very very bad. You see them in the elevator on the way out and they are in tears. You.....

Ogden Nash and Bill Watterson both had interesting things to say about the weekend. "Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless." (Bill) and "Your hair may be brushed, but your mind's untidy. You've had about seven hours of sleep since Friday. No wonder you feel that lost sensation. You're sunk from a riot of relaxation." (Ogden)

I totally agree!
Weekends can’t come soon enough for me. While I try to live my life appreciating each and every day, there's nothing like the sound of the 5:00 buzzer on Friday afternoons. I throw away the alarm clock for 48 hours and the enjoy the spontaneity ahead. What do YOU do?
