This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt House, Room, Kitchen, Shower, Attic.

The goal is to take the prompt and profile a song that has it part of its lyrics or title.

Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to the Song Lyric Sunday challenge.

Rules for Song Lyric Sunday

Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it contains the prompt words or not.  If it does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.  Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
• Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
• Ping back to this post or place your link in the comments section below.
• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.

Paint it Black

This month I am attempting to combine two concepts into each Sunday’s Song Lyric post. First my choice for today is the 1966 song “Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones. The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and it starts out with the lyrics:

I see a red door
And I want it painted black

On “Paint It Black” Stones guitarist Brian Jones played the sitar, which was introduced to pop music by The Beatles on their 1965 song “Norwegian Wood“

The second concept I am writing about is 30 Day Coach4aday Challenge I am participating in for December. It is a 30 Day Quiz Challenge. Each day you complete a quick quiz. Today is Day 5 and the quiz is “Rolling Stones Mix and Match“. You connect words from various Rolling Stones together. It should take less than two minutes.

Here is a video of the song.

Next week the prompt is songs with Nonsense lyrics.
