Hey everyone,

I hope everything is going well. Let’s see how you fair with today’s lyric.

“And it turns out Mona Lisa, well she ain’t ugly/ yeah but she can’t get much loving from the war/and if some stranger tries to take you from me/ well first I’d rescue you and then I’d punch him in the jaw”

Fun Fact/hint: The album in which this song appeared was actually recorded in the European country that lent it’s name to the album’s and song’s titles.

In Spanish, one could say that the time setting of this song is “por la mañana.”

Answer: Paris in the Morning, by Joe Purdy

Hello Everyone,

Firstly, I want to say hello to all my fellow Delta Sigma Phi brothers out there. YITBOS. Congrats to the Jets as well. It’s that time of the week again. Try to figure out what you can about this lyric. I have a feeling it won’t be too hard. I would also like to wish Foo a very happy birthday. I will be giving him his well-deserved birthday punches shortly after I post this. Anyway, good luck with lyric #2. Ready…set…GO.

“If you’re black/you better not show up on the streets/’less you want to draw the heat”

Fun Fact/Hint:  This song was rerecorded by the artist, who was currently practicing for a tour anyway. After Columbia Records noted that as the references stating that Alfred Bello and Arthur Dexter Bradley “robbed the bodies” were not legally charged or proven, they would probably result in a lawsuit. This song cinematically tells the story of Rubin Carter.

Answer: Hurricane, by Bob Dylan (co-written with Jacques Levy)

“I must be strong/ and carry on/ ’cause I know/ I just can’t stay/ here in heaven”

Fun Fact/ hint: This song was sparked at 11am after a boy by the name of Conor fell out of a 53 story building. When notified of the news, the response the artist gave was: “Are you sure?” The song “The Circus Left Town” and “My Father’s Eyes” as well as the song this lyric is from were all sparked by the same event. The most common misconception was that this song was solely about Conor’s death. The song was also about a question the artist had for years after his grandfather died: will we meet again?

Answer : Tears in Heaven, by Eric Clapton

Hey guys,

So here is how this is going to work. I will be posting a lyric to a song. The idea is to come up with the name of the song in which the lyric appears. If you would like to add a fun fact about the song or the band, I’m sure that would benefit everyone. I will attempt to do the same. Good luck!
