Or at least I think it will be. I won concert tickets a few years ago on this question, actually proved the DJ wrong by giving a song he wasn't ready for.

To the best of my knowledge, only two popular rock songs have the word "stadium" in the lyrics. Name them.

1. "Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you..."

2. "And the words of the prophets
Were written on the stadium walls,
Concert hall"

Limelight

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem

Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

umm...

sound of silence (excerpt)

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out it’s warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.


Its closer... but not dead on. Are you sure the lyric exists?

Ack...brain fart on my part. I was thinking Spirit of Radio and typed Limelight...


Begin the day
With a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way
Hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact
In your happy solitude





Invisible airwaves
Crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle
With the energy
Emotional feedback
On a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price ---
Almost free...

All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question
Of your honesty

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

"For the words of the prophets
Are written on the stadium wall,
Concert hall ---
Echoes with the sounds...
Of salesmen."

I heard the song today, and I have to ask... are you sure it's not studio wall instead of stadium wall?

I thought we had a lyric trivia thread...appears I been smoking something. So I'll hijack this.
Simple enough, guess the song and artist (no cheating with search engines) and then it's your turn up to bat.



I don't know but I've been told,
If you keep on dancing you'll never grow old.
