A Holiday Lyrics Quiz
The holidays are a time when you gamely try to resurrect old traditions, such as “enjoying snow” and “not getting aggravated.”
And no tradition is more in need of resurrection than the Tom Musial Dot Com Lyrics Quiz.
Here are lyrics from ten of my favorite winter/holiday songs, a surprising number of which contain prominent references to alcohol.
Post a comment with your guesses and you will gain the recognition of being the first commenter on this website in more than nine months.
10. Late December can drag a man down
9. Father yells, throwing the gifts in the wood stove.
8. Mom got drunk and dad got drunk.
7. Deer might fly. Why not?
6. She’s up and rock and rolling with the rest.
5. Maybe just a half a drink more.
4. You mean you forgot cranberries, too?
3. You’re a bum, you’re a punk. You’re an old slut on junk.
2. I saw your sister skatin’ on the lake this afternoon.
1. As I look around your eyes outshine the town.
Check out the playlist for the answers.

Friday Playlist: It’s Party Time
This weekend is Carnegie Mellon University‘s Spring Carnival.
It’s the one time of year that all the nerds, dorks, geeks, and dramats on campus loosen up and act like regular college students.
(Although, in typical CMU fashion, they can’t have a party without incorporating a series of engineering problems, like designing elaborate midway games, building aerodynamic human-powered vehices, and racing robots.)
Nevertheless, as a two-time CMU survivor, I always feel a deep urge each April to spend some time in party-mode.
In that vein, the theme of this week’s lyrics quiz-slash-playlist is Party Time.
(And by the way, if you want to have a crazy good time this weekend, check out Ali Spagnola’s Power Hour concert tonight. 60 songs about drinking in 60 minutes!)
Lyrics:
- We don’t really need a crowd to have a party
- Down to party hearty and have a good time. All I need is a partner in crime.
- After the party, it’s the hotel lobby.
- First of all, get off the wall. It’s time to party so have a ball.
- Did you hear about the party? (Yeah…) I think I’m gonna go, but my friends don’t wanna go.
- If the party is where you at, let me hear you say ‘uh oh’
- Pulling up to the parties, trying to get a little bit tipsy
- OK, smarty, go to a party
- Parties, ball in the park, nothing but girls after dark
- I rock the body that rocks your body

Friday Playlist: Tiger Woods Edition
Back in the day, Tom Musial Dot Com used to feature Friday lyrics quizzes. It was a way for me to show off the breadth of my musical knowledge, which ranged from New Jack Swing of the mid 1980s all the way up to popular rap songs of the early 1990s.
I’m reviving the sentiment of those bygone days, but instead of a quiz, I’m basically giving you an answer key. A bunch of video, preceded by the lyrics I would have used in a lyrics quiz if I was still doing lyrics quizzes.
In honor of Tiger Woods’ return to golf, here are nine songs about infidelity.

Farewell, Lent, and thanks for all the fish!
So another Lent has come and gone, and with it, the wonderful fish fry specials at all of the local parishes, firehalls, and social clubs. This is where I would make a sad face out of keyboard punctuation if I knew how.
Only 325 days to go until the next one!
Keep an eye on TomMusial.com for some videos of my latest Lent/Easter/Fish Sandwich jokes. Coming soon!
(And a fond hello to everyone I’m going to meet at TEDxCMU.)

“Wedding Crashers” was right
Rule #39: The way to a woman’s bed is through the dance floor.
British science proves it!
