On That Note: Toys in the Attic/Games People Play

[cyclones500]

For this week’s segment of “On That Note,” we explore songs with titles, lyrics or storylines that refer to specific toys or games. Forms of the word “toy” also is accepted.

It can be literal or metaphorical, as long as it adheres to the rules.

NOT ACCEPTED: Generic word “game” (unless accompanied by the above) or anything connected with “traditional” sporting events (e.g. baseball) — we covered each of those in previous OTNs.

On That Note is presented weekly on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy

Monopoly, Twenty-One, checkers and chess

Let's play Twister, let's play Risk

—> This is in spirit of the theme, maybe not literally as far as song storyline (but follows the guidelines).

“The choo-choo train left right on time.”

“Got a box full of your toys.”

You and I in a little toy shop / balloons

Painted wings and giants' rings make way for other toys

My mom's favorite song

I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own

 

[SaraV]

I mean, the song is from the musical "Chess"

Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
