*Jump* makes me think first of the 1984 #1 hit *Jump* by Van Halen. Then, it makes me think of Ed Leffler who was Van Halen's manager... Ed Leffler and his wife Frenda were personal friends of beautiful Karen.... Karen was godmother of their twins, Ashley and Andrew.

Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the MOON break your heart.

Cocktail makes me think of "this Masquerade" as it's describe by John Tobler as being a "superior cocktail lounge song", and superior it is. Cocktail also makes me think of the picture from the 1976 Emmy Awards. It's a picture of Karen, Richard, John Denver, Dorothy Hamill, Jerry Weintraub and Jane Morgan. On the table in front of them you can see some cocktails on the table. Hey Jim which Carpenters song is the lyric from: "Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the MOON break your heart". Maybe it's crazy for me to ask but for some reason I don't remember this lyric. Anyway Next word: Crazy p.s. Roland your response to the word Jump is excellent, I would have never thought of this. Extra points to Roland for this one.

#$ Thanks Roland for answering that one. Jim you actually had me stumped. But I must admit I haven't listened to the Como/Carpenters Medley much - maybe twice. I'll have to give it another listen. Next word is still: CRAZY

Contact brings to mind two things. Imention the obvious first.
The song "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft" which is know as the Anthem of World Contact Day.
The other less obvious is in the chorus of the fantastic upbeat 80's tune "Prime Time Love" - Karen sings; "So don’t hold back Contact Give yourself a bit of some prime time love Don’t fight What feels right You’re lookin’ in the face of prime time love"
Next word: Rough

Rough might be a word used to describe Karen's battle with anorexia. Actually I might use even stronger words in describing that.
Next word: Acapulco

???Not sure for the word Acapulco but maybe that's where Karen went on her honeymoon... Anyway,this is such a long thread...and it's fun...can someone make up a list of all the words that have been used so far? but I guess it doesn't matter really to use a word that's already been used...especially now our newer members...can contribute their thoughts.
So...THAT BEING SAID...IF i'M WRONG ABOUT THE WORD ALCAPULCO....THEN THE WORD CAN STILL BE ALCAPULCO
iF I'M RIGHT ABOUT ALCAPULCO...THEN, WE CAN A NEW WORD: SNICKERS (not from a song)

Hi Smoothster - I believe Karen, Richard, mom and dad Carpenter and a few friends took a summer vacation in Acapulco (I'm not sure of the year - maybe 1976 or 77). Anyway it's documented that this was not a very happy vacation for the Carpenter family.
I say you get this one Smoothie anyway...
My answer to your word SNICKERS.
Now this is a tough one. Hmmm...
The only thing that comes to mind is when I watch the first TV Special that show is so funny that brings me laughter and snickers. I know I kind of stretched that one a bit - but hey that was a tough word.
Anybody else have a good one for SNICKERS?
Next word:
DANCE

?* I really did "stump the band?" ...well, I read somewhere that Snickers was Karen's favorite candy bar. You had a good answer though. And I'm glad Acapulco worked. ???One answer for the word Time ...the album "As time goes by" and then the song title from maybe the Kind of Hush album.."One More Time" and Karen ran out of time for her life much too soon.
