Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t, share anyway.
I have a friend that plays a weird compliment game with me anytime we see each other. It involves complimenting the other person while making the comment sounds like an insult. You need to get creative with it, the more unique or silly but still sincere the compliment, the better. When things get really heated, it might spiral out to complimenting others by association (e.g. “well YOUR MOTHER is delightful!”)
The song game. I feel like a lot of people have come up with it naturally.
One person plays a song. The next person has to then play a song with some sort of connection to it. Like, you could follow the velvet underground’s “Sunday Morning” with Nirvana’s “Lithium” because it has the line “Sunday morning is every day for all I care”. Any connection is valid so long as the group accepts it, but I prefer lyrical ones myself.
That’s it. You go around until you lose interest.
I like it as a way to share music, because to do well you typically have to actually listen with their song.
That does sound like a fun group chat game. Using “whosampled” should be banned though. That would make it too easy.
A similar game I’ve played is someone names a word, nothing crazy obscure, and a song with that word in its lyrics. To use your example, maybe “Sunday” and then Lithium. Next person has to come up with a song that has that lyric as well. Go until someone can’t, then start a new word. The one who ended the run could easily be made to take a drink if that’s your setting.
The Special Edition of this game is that you have to sing the line as “proof” that the lyric is in there.
It’s a very quick number game called “By a Whisker”
Happy to show how it’s played to anyone whose interested. Just pick any number.

Shit I just lost the game.
We dress up as Trump’s cabinet and run into walls as hard as we can.
Play it alone or with other people.
I usually play it with movie actors, but you can use any characters, fictional or otherwise.
First person picks two characters/actors who never interacted. Let’s take Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. Second person/team has to come up with a story involving the two. They can be any age, so it can be 60 year old Dolly mentoring a young Tim, or old Tim being cared for by Dolly aged 30.
On long drives, the alphabet game. Just watch out the window for signs, license plates, and other stuff outside the vehicle that has text, and see how quickly you can get through the entire alphabet in order.
(Passengers in a vehicle can safely play this, the driver shouldn’t.)
I have a friend who loves the shit out of this one: Fuckable - Sexy scale - but with inanimate objects. Fruits, pies, cocktails, cars, trains, etc. There are many alterations to the scale that can be made: Fiona, Sheryl, Britney, Kylie matrix; Fuck = +y, Marry = -y, Kill = +x, ??? = -x; whatever else
I don’t get it but it sounds fun. Can you give an example?
A pear has a round bottom, that’s sexy. It does have a thin neck though and often has a droopy stem which makes it looks sad. To me, it’s the sexy-sad fruit, so not really all too fuckable.
