Driving Game (Part 102)

This may be my all time favorite of hers.

@chienfou
Huh? I’m not seeing the link.

@chienfou @Kyeh Yeah, got me too. I think this is going to get a veto.

@chienfou @Kyeh Wait…is it the intro music for both?

@chienfou or is it the bonzo dog, cocker as in cocker spaniel?

@chienfou @steeltoesenator That’s a hell of a jump. Spaniel is the breed, cocker is a subtype. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard anyone say they own a cocker when referring to a dog, but I don’t have many friends with spaniels these days either.

@chienfou @ExtraMedium @steeltoesenator
I thought maybe it’s because they’re both about drugs?! Although I’m not sure the first one is? If it’s that hard to figure out I say it’s a veto - but STS has gone ahead and linked to it - so .
Oh, yeah - the intros are similar…but the original rules say it should be obvious in the artist-title since supposedly you’re in a car without access to all the music and videos.

@ExtraMedium @Kyeh @steeltoesenator
Sorry I crashed and took a nap after my PT session.
Yes it was the cocker/dog connection, and I had meant to put it at the bottom of the post and totally forgot.
FWIW everyone I know that owns a cocker spaniel just refers to it as a cocker. They seem to be the most common spaniel breed I think.
Thanks STS for playing thru it!

Just for the hell of it I googled “cocker”… all I got back was a bunch of information about cocker spaniels… never even saw anything about Joe Cocker (which I find shocking and distressing!)

@chienfou @ExtraMedium @Kyeh @steeltoesenator On a side note, I can confirm that cocker is the breed, further divided into American & English varieties (I’ve watched a lot of dog shows, and yes, I’m a dork. Moving along…). But I think the most apt factoid is that a documentary about Joe was called, “Mad Dog With Soul”… coincidence, chienfou?

@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @Kyeh @steeltoesenator
Joe is my spirit animal!

@chienfou @ExtraMedium @Kyeh @steeltoesenator I thought so!

@Kyeh one of my favorite lines. Right up there with “the weather is here, I wish you were beautiful”. RIP Jimmy

@Kyeh @llangley
And “if I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?”

@chienfou @llangley I was happy I got a chance to post that song. I’ve been tempted to post it in other threads sometimes!

@ircon96
Video didn’t post…

@chienfou Oops, thanks!

Oops, too late!

@steeltoesenator I think you would have been okay linking Irish --> Spanish. Bigger leaps have been made!

@ircon96 @steeltoesenator
after all… That’s what I had done (the opposite direction).

@chienfou Oh, ok… i thought you were linking “song(s)” but figured either would work!

@ircon96
d’oh… hadn’t even noticed that!

@chienfou repeat from game 75

@januarymick
Well, crap, and I even played it!
Didn’t check since I just knew it was obscure enough to have NOT been played yet!
/giphy d’oh

I was confused about which song to play off of so I did both.

@steeltoesenator A bridge!

Link: U2 is from Dublin.

@ircon96

I think you would have been okay linking Irish --> Spanish. Bigger leaps have been made!

@ircon96 U2’s version of “Whiskey in the Jar” was previously used.

@mml666 Phew, I’m glad i didn’t try playing that, then! Lol

@ircon96 @mml666
compiling the cheat sheet and found this re U2… can you give me a game reference for that? I can find a metallica and thin lizzy post but not a U2 onewhen I search…

@steeltoesenator I didn’t know the song but the name seemed familiar to me…this guy was in one of my favorite movies, “American Werewolf in London”…haha!

@januarymick yeah, I’m aging myself here, he also had a cheesy tv show in the 70’s called “Makin’ It”.
As an actor he was far better in Werewolf.

@januarymick @steeltoesenator Ah, but his finest moment was surely his Dr. Pepper commercial! He wore a vest for god’s sake!

@januarymick @mossygreen @steeltoesenator Wow, talk about nostalgia!

@januarymick It’s funny, the titles are almost the same but the songs couldn’t be more different.

@Kyeh True! I was going to play this one anyway and when you played yours, I thought this would be kinda funny…similar song titles happen sometimes.

Yay! A double.

@ExtraMedium And a system to automatically update the Cheat Sheet.

@ExtraMedium @mml666
If someone can figure a way to do that I would be most grateful. In the meantime I’ll try to get the last couple posted tomorrow. I thought I had already posted 101 but evidently I didn’t…
