Just a little diversion...

Ok. Let’s play one of the popular games from the hit TV Show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” It’s called “Song Titles.”

I’ll set a topic and everyone gets to make a pertinent comment as though two people were conversing about that topic but can only speak using a title of a song.

For instance:

If the topic were 'Raining Outside', the first comment from person one could be, “Stormy Weather” to which person two might add “I can see clearly now” followed by number one's “It’s raining men.”

However, if you can’t think of a song title that goes with the theme, start a new one based (sometimes loosely) on the previous comment. Like, “You don’t bring me flowers anymore” The next commenter can add whatever he or she chooses to add to that comment but should try to stay apropos of the topic. Eventually it will devolve into something completely different.

Here goes:

Topic - A Typical Day in Congress

Two politicians meeting in the halls:

Person 1: "Lies" - Knickerbockers

Person 2: "Anyway you want it" - Dave Clark Five

Person 1: "We Didn't Start the Fire" - Billy Joel

Person 2: "Takin' Care of Business" - BTO
