Peter Gabriel, the successful solo artist and former lead singer of Genesis, turned 60 last week. Tunesmate would like to honor Mr. Gabriel with a game of Sentune. Take five Peter Gabriel song/album titles and make them into a sentence.

Sentune:
So I don’t remember, the lamb lays down on Broadway, Mercy Street, Solsbury Hill?

John Mellencamp dominated the 1980s and 1990s as an outstanding American song writer / performer. Today, try your hand at completing a mini or regular Sentune. Once again, the object of a Sentune is take song titles of an artist and create a sentence with them. Three song titles equal a mini-Sentune and five song titles equals a full-Sentune.

Mini-Sentune:
Jack and Diane get a leg up under the boardwalk
Pink houses crumblin down under the boardwalk

Full-Sentune:
Again tonight, Jack and Diane dance naked under the boardwalk when Jesus left Birmingham

Songs to help:
Again Tonight
My Sweet Love
Wild Nights
Hurt So Good
Get A Leg Up
Authority Song
Key West Intermezzo
ROCK in the USA
Under The Boardwalk
Love and Happiness
Rain on The Scarecrow
Pink Houses
Need A Lover
Dance Naked
Cherry Bomb
Small Town
Lonely Ol’ Night
Jackie Brown
Freedom’s Road
What if I came Knocking
Human Wheels
Just Another Day
Crumblin Down

Happy Belated birthday to Ozzy Osbourne who turned 61 the other day! I don’t think Ozzy believes that he has made it this long with his music or his life. Thanks to Sharon Osbourne for keeping him alive. As tribute to Ozzy, tunesmate salutes the classic rocker with a sentune; here is list of Ozzy songs for a hint.. Try taking five song titles of the artist and arrange them in a sentence.

Ozzy Sentune:
No more tears Mr. Crowley, mama I’m coming home back on earth, see you on the other side.

For this sentune, rather than finding 5 songs by the same artist, try to string together 5 Christmas song titles to make a sentence.  Try carrolling to this one:

Last Christmas, home for the holidays, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus rockin’ around the Christmas tree up on the housetop.

Happy Birthday to Billy Idol who turns 54 today! In honor of the man with the whiplash smile, we celebrate him with a sentune. Try taking five song titles of the artist and arrange them in a sentence.

Billy Idol Sentune:
Catch my fall sweet sixteen, don’t need a gun to be a lover hot in the city

In honor of the rumor that Steven Tyler has been fired by Aerosmith and being replaced by another singer, Tunesmate salutes them with a sentune. Once again, the object of the game is to take five song titles of the same artist and compose them into a sentence or what we like to a call a sen-tune. If five is too much, then try Sentune Jr. and just do three songs.

Sentune Jr. (three songs):
Angel walk this way, I don’t want to miss a thing

Sentune (five songs):
Pink get a grip, Janies got a gun, walk this way to the other side.

Continuing our Sen-tune game this week is Britney Spears. Once again, the object of the game is to take five song titles of the same artist and compose them into a sentence or what we like to a call a sen-tune. Here’s a list of Britney songs to help you.

Here’s my attempt at the first Britney sentune:
I’m a slave 4 u lucky womanizer, you drive me crazy sometimes

Continuing our Sen-tune game this week is U2. Once again, the object of the game is to take five song titles of the same artist and compose them into a sentence or what we like to a call a sen-tune. Here’s a list of U2 songs to help you.

Here’s my attempt at the first U2 sentune:
walk on gloria, i will follow with or without you in god’s country

Continuing our Sen-tune game this week is Madonna. Once again, the object of the game is to take five song titles of the same artist and compose them into a sentence or what we like to a call a sen-tune.

Here’s my attempt at the first Madonna sentune:
Hung up 4 minutes frozen, live to tell everybody.

Back in college, Ray Schuck and I used to play a game where we’d challenge each other back and forth speaking in song titles.  For the sake of blog format, we’ve invented a new game called Sen-tunes, where you take five songs from an artist and make a sentence out of them. Tunesmate is going to pick an artist, give you an example and then ask you for your best shot of turning five tunes into a sentence.  This week it’s time to make a Sentunes from Fleetwood Mac.

Ray started it. Who knew Fleetwood Mac could sound like Confucius?:  Dreams go your own way as long as you follow little lies everywhere.
