Now check out the asking price:

If you can’t read it, it says:

Was $15,000, now $10,000 $5,000.

Stupid Ben. Now even aspiring Leroy Neimans can’t make a living.

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:

1. We don’t really need a crowd to have a party
2. Down to party hearty and have a good time. All I need is a partner in crime.
3. After the party, it’s the hotel lobby.
4. First of all, get off the wall. It’s time to party so have a ball.
5. Did you hear about the party? (Yeah…) I think I’m gonna go, but my friends don’t wanna go.
6. If the party is where you at, let me hear you say ‘uh oh’
7. Pulling up to the parties, trying to get a little bit tipsy
8. OK, smarty, go to a party
9. Parties, ball in the park, nothing but girls after dark
10. I rock the body that rocks your body

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.

Me and Mrs. Jones — Billy Paul

We both know that it’s wrong, but it’s much too strong to let it go now.

Big Ole Butt — LL Cool J

She said, “You got a girl,” I said “It don’t matter.”

O.P.P. — Naughty By Nature

He had someone but he was gonna be yours anyway

If That’s Your Boyfriend, He Wasn’t Last Night — Me’Shell Ndegeocello

He knocked on my door, so what should I say no for?

Dilemma — Nelly

Even when I’m with my boo, you know I’m crazy over you

If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want to Be Right — Luther Ingram

If being right means being without you I’d rather live a wrong-doin’ life

I’m That Type of Guy — LL Cool J

I’m doin’ your girlfriend. It’s something you can’t believe.

Runaround Sue — Dion and the Belmonts

She took my love, then ran around with every guy in town

Don’t Think I’m Not — Kandi

I catch a bone while you’re dogging me

Only 325 days to go until the next one!
