Mad Lib Song Game

Do you remember "Mad Libs"?  That silly game of "fill-in-the-blank" that you played in the back seat of your dad's car when you guys went on a long trip?  You'd ask for nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, etc., to fill in the blanks and then one of you would go back and read the whole story with the added words.  And then you'd spend the next 10 minutes giggling until your either cried or peed, or both, and started another story after that?

Mad Libs' first "sighting" was in 1953 in a New York City apartment while a writer by the name of Leonard Stern was working on a Jackie Gleason Honeymooners script.  He was struggling with the right adjective to describe the nose of Ralph Kramden's new boss.  He co-writer, Roger Price (termed his fellow word-aholic and most original thinker he ever) showed up.

In their effort to come up with a description for said person's nose, Roger asked Leonard if he wanted help.  Leonard said, "I need an adjective that--," and before he could further define his need, Roger said, "Clumsy and naked."  Laughing commenced.  At that point, Ralph Kramden now had a boss with a clumsy nose or, if you will, a naked nose.

Well, I'd like to play a different version of Mad Libs that I'm going to call the Mad Lib Song Game.  The video I included here gives a similar example of how I want this to go.  The rules are simple.

1. The first part of your comment will be a) the title of a song or b) a single verse or lyric of a song.  It should not be an entire song or stanza.

2. The second part of your comment will be a question that you want the next person to answer with a) the title of a song or b) a single verse or lyric of a song.

3. The second person will answer the question with a) the title of a song or b) a single line or lyric of a song.  Then that second person will add another question to create a story line for the third person.

4. You can add a few words to lead into the verse so it makes sense and likewise you can eliminate a word or two from the beginning or the end of the verse.

5. If someone's response shows up before yours, that's ok, just keep moving and the next person can indicate who's comment they are responding to as ~George~ or ~Ted~ and then their own song and question.

6. HAVE FUN that is the purpose of this game.

So I will start with a story that ends with a question:

A state trooper is driving down the highway when he sees a truck driver pull over, walk to the side of his truck with a tire jack, bang on the side of the truck several times, and then drive away.  Two miles down the road he does the same thing.  Another two miles, same thing.  The trooper pulls the truck over and asks the truck driver, "What in the world are you doing?!?"
