Bonus frink points already! (I was thinking of the latter.)

misconstrued is in "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
Inclement will come to me shortly.

You got "50."
And I stumped you with "inclement" when I was in town in Dec. :wink:

Not even remembering that at this point. I want to say it's something by Macca...a line where he rhymes inclement weather with something or other we can do together. I can totally hear the line but nothing before or after is coming to me, so I'm stuck thinking of the song title.
AAAAAaaargggh

LOL! I always thought the line about the bombers riding shotgun in the sky was "barbers riding shotgun" (because the barbers were pissed off at hippes for not getting haircuts).

So glad someone got this one.
Mike, I'm disappointed that you didn't get the first one, as winter's gonna turn to spring and you haven't accomplished a thing.
-
(If anyone gets No. 5 I'll be amazed, though it was a Top 40 hit.)
Yeah, I was afraid this one was too far removed ... it was Smokey and the Miracles' "Yester-Love." "Yester is/The prefix that we fix/To things that have gone ..."
-
Mike, I'm disappointed that you didn't get the first one, as winter's gonna turn to spring and you haven't accomplished a thing.
I got number one during the Saturday replay, but I guess I forgot to post it. It was that Tavares song we heard last week, "It Only Takes a Minute".

This hunt has a theme: Songs I heard on oldies station 3WS while in Pittsburgh last week. I have to say, I was impressed with the breadth of the station's playlist; it rivals what I read of WCBS's.
1. as yet
2. 73
3. Mozart
4. James Taylor
5. gunnin'
6. tumble
7. vibes
8. violins
9. whippoorwill
10. fawwin'

4. "Rings", Cimarron (that *IS* impressive -- was it a bigger hit in P-burgh than it was nationally?)
10. H,FJ&R of course (they shoulda followed it with "I Wike Dweamin')
more to come as I think of 'em...

8. could it be? Ray Stevens' "Misty"??? (If so I'm even more impressed)
6. I'm hoping they played "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" but I didn't think you'd give a clue that's part of a song title...

You're right on 3, 4, 9, and 10. ("Rings" wasn't especially big in Pgh AFAIK, so I was equally impressed/surprised.) Never having heard "Misty," I didn't know there were "violins" in it; I was going for something else. Same with "tumble," for which I'll invoke Shray's edict about hunt words not appearing in titles.

"and a thousand violins began to play..."
FYI, "Rings" was also a country hit in '71 for Tompall & the Glaser Bros. (charting the same time as the pop version) -- only I think they had "Merle Haggard" on their stereo. And of course it was covered in '74 by Lobo.

73 men sailed up to the San Francisco Bay...to try to catch a ball in McCovey Cove.
-
And of course it was covered in '74 by Lobo.
Did not know that. I've only heard 2 or 3 Lobo songs (partial to "I'd Love You to Want Me"); should I seek out a GH comp?
PS to Mshray: Nice.

Here's a quick scavenger hunt for y'all. All from very well-known tunes.
1.) bower
2.) grinner
3.) spanner
4.) strewn
-
2.) grinner
That would be "The Joker", methinks.

Hint: the other three are all R'n'R HoF bands with very prominent guitarists.

nope.
two of the above-mentioned three guitarists were in even in a recent movie together.

nope.

I looked up some lyrics w the words in question. there are a few songs that feaure the words, but I suppose you're looking for the most "popular" or accessible answer?

ones you'd hear on KFOG or The Band

Re 3) I know Rod Stewart had an album called A Spanner in the Works, but I can't pin it to a song.

the song in question uses that phrase, but breaks it up a bit.

UB40s If It Happens Again uses "spanners". Not a song in heavy rotation -- or any rotation -- on KFOG, but a song I'm familiar with.
-
Mark, which song were you going after?
Here's a quick new scavenger hunt. Y'alls know the rules: all are Top 40 charters, not in the title; bonus frink points if you come up with one I didn't intend.
calliope
embryo
fashioned (NOT old-fashioned)
spectacle
spectacles
-

embryo
Ms Reddy was still an embryo, with a long long way to go in "I Am Woman" -- which is why my mom thought it was an anti-abortion song!
-
Mark, which song were you going after?
Spanner = "Industrial Disease" Dire Straits
Bower = "Gallows Pole" Led Zeppelin
Strewn = "Sunday Bloody Sunday" U2
(hint = the latter two HoF guitarists recently appeared with Jack White in It Might Get Loud (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1229360/))
Nothing leaps to mind on any of yours, I'll have to keep racking my brain.

spectacle = Barry Manilow's true-blue spectacle, "It's a Miracle."
spectacles = Donovan looks through crystal speck-tickles in "Epistle to Dippy."

Haven't done one of these in a while... 8 words, find them in a song lyric. 6 of the songs I'm thinking of were Top 40 hits, one is a cultish obscurity for chart geeks and one was an early single that didn't chart for a rock pioneer.
botheration
determination
cogitation
masturbation
salutations
preservation
investigation
accusations
-
I was going to say "Give Peace a Chance" is all of them, but I think it's just "masturbation."
-
"determination" = the Impressions, "Choice of Colors"
This is wrong; I misremembered the lyric.

I think there's a verse of "Ball of Confusion" that could contain all of them, but I'm sure that's not right. But one of them, perhaps?

Gaz gets his masturbation right (er, can I rephrase that?) and urth is onto something with "B of C" -- one of the remaining 7 is in there.

There's also "masturbation" in Green Day's "Longview."

Frink points! But was "Longview" a Top 40 single or just a popular album track? (my '90s chart knowledge is not what it should be)

cogitation = "Resurrection Shuffle"?

cogitation = "Resurrection Shuffle"?
vibrations but no cogitations from Ashton, Gardner, Dyke or Jones.

DING DING DING! It's my obligation to say there's no humiliation in your answer. 2 down, 6 to go.

It was one of those gappers that would have charted if it had been a commercial single.

last chance on the above -- I'll post answers if no one bites today.

accusations = Police, "Don't Stand So Close to Me"
And it's not frink-point-worthy, but "preservation" appears in a deep Jefferson Starship album cut from 1984's Nuclear Furniture: "Showdown," with a Grace line about "self-preservation, the original greed."

Right on the Police -- and you're knocking on the door of "preservation" with that hyphenated word....
-
OK kids, time for the big reveal:
botheration - "Too Much Monkey Business", Chuck Berry (early single that amazingly never charted Pop).
determination - "Ball of Confusion", Tempts (yay urth!)
cogitation - "Nikki Hoeky", PJ Proby, a beloved-by-chart-geeks regional hit from '67; I was wrong, it actually did get to #23.
masturbation - "Give Peace a Chance", Plastic Ono Lennon (yay gaz!)
salutations - "Life is a Rock", Reunion ("friends and Romans, salutations/Brenda and the Tabulations")
preservation - "Young Hearts Run Free", Candi Staton ("self-preservation is what's really goin' on today")
investigation - "Me & Julio", Paul Simon
accusations - "Don't stand So Close...", Police (yay gaz again!)
-
preservation - "Young Hearts Run Free", Candi Staton ("self-preservation is what's really goin' on today")
Oh damn, I should've got that; I've used that quote before.
