Folker Lyric Lottery

This one will require Powerballs. Give us a word, phrase, line or whole lyric that you predict, foresee, or guess just might appear in each Folker song, based on the title alone.

"You oughta be a silent Folk star..."

I was thinking the other day about what the very first line might be (sad I know). On the evidence of 'Baby Learns To Crawl', 'High Time' and 'Dirty Diesel' you might want to put a wager on the words 'Buy it' appearing in the very first line (although this time I reckon the first song title will take a little longer to arrive in the song)!!

OK Tuesday we'll be looking these over for the big prizes.

A quick scan reveals the following Lyrical Crystal Ball Award honorees:

-thetwilitekid predicted the "broom" rhyme with "$100 Groom," and suggested the word "vomit," which also turns up in "$100 Groom"

-Elizabeth was channeling something or someone ... not necessarily Paul, but zowie! (paulie, is her Gun Shy line still your fave post-Folker as you predicted?)

-Ddog correctly suggested a strong parallel between "Silent Film Star" and "Folk Star"

- Yours Troublingly nailed the "red carpet" mention in "Folk Star"

- suicainekid called the album's first words "buy it"

- scooter uncannily predicted the golf reference in "My Dad"

... and I humbly nominate torethatbridgeout for a Special Lifetime Achievement Award for making the "tremble/thimble" association that turns up in "How Can You Like Him?" on another message board 22 MONTHS AGO (see Drool Marks' 11/7/02 post titled "showz" at pub5.ezboard.com/fwilcofrm5.showMessage?topicID=19.topic
