Driving Game (Part 123)
3Welcome 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.

This thread picks up from:
Bruce Springsteen - I’ll Fly Away
@ExtraMedium You said: “I’m starting to wonder if it’ll ever really end.”
And I just spent waaaay too long trying to find a New Yorker cartoon that my coworker once posted on the wall, of a guy in a robe with ragged hair carrying one of those end of the world signs, only his said “It will never end.”
But I couldn’t track it down.
@ExtraMedium @Kyeh found these
@ExtraMedium @llangley Wow! Great Google-fu - I guess it’s a pretty common gag because the one I remember is a different one. But how did you find them?! I tried several ways but couldn’t do it!
@ExtraMedium @Kyeh lol I was surprised to see them. I just googled “it will never end cartoon” and scrolled til I found something close 🫣
@ExtraMedium @llangley I did that too - but maybe Safari skewed my search somehow?

@Yoda_Daenerys haha! I think I’m starting to get the hang of this
@januarymick did you come up with your own way, or use the googlesheet?
@Yoda_Daenerys the Googlesheet is cool but, to be honest, I found it a bit overwhelming…but I did save a copy just in case…I just keep a template on my desktop and update as songs are added…

@Kyeh Did you intend to link this song?
@januarymick Oh, weird - yes. Sorry! How annoying - when I listened to the song on YouTube it was the right one; I should have just copied the link instead of using the Youtube command. Thanks!
@Kyeh no worries! I was racking my brain for the connection, then searched for the song you identified and found it…both are very catchy!
@januarymick I originally looked for the Glen Miller one, but this also came up and was obviously the original so I put it up instead.
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
@januarymick Taylor Swift has appeared 13 times previously but, surprisingly, not this one.
