I hope using a parody of Katya's won't kick me out, but...

Big yellow joint, big yellow joint, I'll meet you down at the big yellow joint.


This is hard. I keep thinking of songs about things that are yellow (sun, lemon, etc.), but few that actually have yellow in the lyrics.

I don't see why it would, unless it's essentially the same song.

Here's a thought: What if, in future games, the person who thinks of the category doesn't play? (Or maybe they start off with an example, but they don't play after that.) That way, they can impartially judge what counts and what doesn't.

Yeah. It's a weird word and a hard one to rhyme with. "Red" would probably be much easier, but I wanted to challenge the players. ;)

heh, sitting on the old oak tree? I'd also thought of it, but went with the Disney instead.

Whew. I don't know how much easier red would have been. The round would have gone on for weeks, and we'd have troubles with repeats after the third or fourth page, methinks.

I must admit I still don't really know what's going on... I'm simply doing stuff and hoping I'm right. : ) If you want to jump back in this round anyway that's okay, I think. This is the practice round, after all.
