Driving Game (Part 103)
1Welcome to the Meh Forum Driving Game!

Basic Rules
Connect a new song to the previously played song by name, musician, musical group, or concept. Try to use the format “Artist - Song Title” when possible. Avoid repeats, and do not make two plays back to back.
To avoid repeating past songs, it’s best to always do a quick search of the current thread as well as checking in the official Driving Game Cheat Sheet before making your play.

Kicking off from:
Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Belinda Carlisle - I Get Weak
/youtube Brandi Carlile - Right On Time
@Kyeh My favorite song of theirs (i always include the twins! ) since “The Story”…i get chills every time i hear her hit that last big note!
@ircon96 A lot of her/their songs feel to me almost like gut punches, but in a good way.
@Kyeh Exactly! They really go deep & resonate. I guess they’ve been touring with Pink!, that must be quite a show! No offense to Taylor or Beyoncé, but these guys should be selling out giant arenas on their own.
@ircon96 I’d love to see that show!
@Kyeh IKR?!
Strawberry Alarm Clock - Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow
Prince & The Revolution - Raspberry Beret
The Raspberries - Go All The Way
Sly Fox - Let’s Go All the Way
Sly & The Family Stone - Stand!
/youtube hearts of stone southside johnny
@Yoda_Daenerys
please list these as artist - title for consistency in the Cheat Sheet… thanks.
@chienfou GAAH! sorry…
@chienfou do i even need to do the “/youtube” call out?
@Yoda_Daenerys
Having the video link there allows people to check out the song if they’re not familiar. You can either use the /YouTube or pick your own and import the link, your choice.
Johnny Cash - Hurt
One of my all-time favorite covers. His voice is perfect for this song.
@chienfou YES - this is so powerful!
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
/youtube Caroline Polachek - So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings
Woohoo! I’ve been waiting for a chance to post this!
@Kyeh Then I’m glad i didn’t ruin it by playing off of “cash” or something!
@ircon96 Yes, thank you!
Neil Diamond-Sweet Caroline
@el1c1a VETO - Played in Game 33
(Sorry)
@el1c1a Lucky - Missed it by 3 minutes
@el1c1a
Welcome to the madhouse. Hope you stick around to play some more!
Grateful Dead - Dupree’s Diamond Blues
Blues Traveler - Hook
/youtube Pachelbel - Canon In D Major
Do you get the link?
@Kyeh The chord progression… That’s a unique take! I can’t be mad at that, even though you blocked my TTW play!
@Kyeh Plus, those are two of my all-time favorites, so that helps! Lol
@Kyeh However -
@Kyeh and this…
@Kyeh @mml666 There’s no way to be cool when you’re instrument is bigger than you… I’ll see you in hell, Pachelbel!!
@mml666 Those are hilarious!
I knew about “Rant” but I hadn’t heard these.
The White Stripes - Cannon
@Kyeh Yep, had to scramble to think of another one! (Darn, that was the perfect chance to get The Traveling Wilburys back in the game, too! Lol)
@ircon96 Oh, you changed it - I thought you were jumping mine!
@Kyeh Yeah, you were too quick for me & i didn’t want to try to veto such originally in linkage! Lol
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (Finale Excerpt)
@mml666
@mml666 Slava Ukraini!
@mml666 Top comment on this video on YT:
Average dude: There’s NO WAY a cannon could possible be considered as an instrument for an orchestra"
Tchaikovsky: “Hold my Vodka”.
@Kyeh @mml666 The Hallé are okay & all, but you can’t beat the Boston Pops. They have real cannons…AND fireworks!!
/youtube The Who - Overture
John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over
@ircon96 Okay - now can you link the Wilburys?
@Kyeh Sorry, i missed your generous cue, but thank you for trying! I’m amassing quite a list of missed opportunities; I’m still fuming over Elastica! Lol
@ircon96 Where was that one?
@Kyeh Toward the end of Part 100… Doesn’t take my phone long to get REALLY sluggish, so i guess it didn’t refresh quickly enough or something. I blame Motorola!
@ircon96 Mine does too - iPhone 7.
/youtube The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Question Mark & The Mysterians - Midnight Hour
Wilson Pickett - In the Midnight Hour
/youtube jj cale - after midnight
Van Morrison - Jackie Wilson Said
@steeltoesenator Oops, looks like @mossygreen got in there right ahead of you!
/youtube Them - Here Comes the Night (Audio) ft. Van Morrison
How about this for a bridge.
@Kyeh Beautiful!
@mossygreen Thank you!
@mossygreen Except - oh, no - @steeltoesenator already played this in Game 102, which hasn’t been listed on the official Cheatsheet yet, and I didn’t think to check. Oh well!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Kyeh @mossygreen @steeltoesenator I keep the Cheat Sheet and any games not already recorded into the Cheat Sheet in open tabs on my browser to check for repeats before I post to the game. And don’t forget to go to the top of the page to “+SHOW MORE CONTENT” to ensure you see all the entries.

/youtube “springsteen 9/11 tribute my city of ruins”
Don McLean - Babylon
Anyone else read the short story, “By the Waters of Babylon” in school?
@mml666 I don’t recall ever hearing about it, but it sounds good, especially since it appears that it stuck with you…? Being from NH, i guess they tend to focus more on The Devil and Daniel Webster.
/youtube Sugarland - baby girl
@unksol connection?
@unksol @Yoda_Daenerys Babylon (Country) --> sugarLAND?
@mml666 @unksol @Yoda_Daenerys I thought the connection might also have been BABYlon and BABY girl…
@januarymick @mml666 @Yoda_Daenerys they both have baby in there. Thought that was allowable/might be wrong on splitting words. I figured you’d just object/strike it if I was wrong at 3AM
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@januarymick @mml666 @unksol i’ve been away, maybe i’ve missed a few permutations of the virus.
@januarymick @mml666 @Yoda_Daenerys far more likely I forgot at 3AM lol
Sinead O’Conner - Fire On Babylon
Nirvana - Lake of Fire
Rush - Lakeside Park
/youtube does this bus stop at 82nd street off of greetings from asbury park
@Yoda_Daenerys Artist - Title format for the Cheat Sheet:
