Driving Game (Part 125)

@Yoda_Daenerys another one of those “can’t believe this hasn’t been played yet” songs, haha!

@januarymick yea, i searched, then searched again, thinking i had forgotten to expand.

thx for the updates to cheat sheet! i didn’t intend to dump it entirely, so let me know if you need a break sometime.

@Yoda_Daenerys no worries on the cheat sheet, for some reason, I kind of enjoy it! Haha! I’ll speak up when I feel I need a break

@bsallerson Your first comment in the forum!! Welcome!!

@bsallerson DUPE, @kyeh played this in #122

@Kyeh @steeltoesenator Not going to read through 124 of these things just to find dupes. First time posting and I was just trying to have some fun

@bsallerson There is a post with a text cheat sheet of all of the previous entries up through the most currently completed round.

https://meh.com/forum/topics/driving-game-cheat-sheet

@bsallerson I wouldn’t read through them either. I use the cheat sheet and the “find in page” function to check if a particular song was previously played.
Also, I apologize if my comment came across as harsh. I for one welcome a new player to a game I find IS fun.

@bsallerson @werehatrack if you do take the time to search before posting, be sure to expand all the comments, or your search won’t be complete. i’ve done that trick multiple times.

also, it’s best to follow one of the two formats:

band - song title
link to specific youtube track

-OR-

/youtube band - song title

the second method will give you less control over the version picked.

if i’m updating the cheatsheet my parser will pick either of those up. anything else it’ll skip.

but yea, it’s all just a game, and no injury is done with a dupe post, it’ll just likely get called out, if someone is paying attention and takes the time to go search the history.

thanks for stopping in, and come back to play anytime.

• a PSA from just another playa

@bsallerson @werehatrack @Yoda_Daenerys Well put. Also I’m pretty sure everyone here has done multiple dupes over time (like I’ve duped my own entries )
Oh, and search the current thread too - don’t ask me how I know that!

@keithayoungster welcome to the thread! this is a great example of connecting the concept, “King’s = Royal Highness” well done

@januarymick thanks

get it? let us <---- lettuce

@Yoda_Daenerys

@Yoda_Daenerys in this case both the king is dead as a theme and the artist

@keithayoungster this one won’t be picked up by my parser, if i’m doing the cheatsheet update. if you can list artist - song on the first line that will help. i think the way @januarymick is doing the updates it wouldn’t matter as much, but can’t speak for them.

@keithayoungster @Yoda_Daenerys yes, listing “artist-song” in title is helpful

different version from game 73

@Yoda_Daenerys was hoping someone would play some version of this after my Tenth Avenue North play!

@JWhirly good thing we stayed on track

@JWhirly this song is quite overplayed, but it had to be done!

@JWhirly connection? oh, nvm, frozen…

@Yoda_Daenerys yup, was thinking frozen. Strong enough connection?

@JWhirly @Yoda_Daenerys close enough for me!

@JWhirly @Yoda_Daenerys I’d allow this one and call it a “source connection,” but it’s worth pointing out that this may lead to questionable connections like “previous song name matches the album name of the following song” and that might make things a bit too loose. The regular players can make the call as to how to proceed in this situation.

@ExtraMedium @Yoda_Daenerys That’s a reasonable argument! And I look forward to being “regular” player!

different version from game 122.

this is the ‘springsteen era’ that i first saw. hooked ever since.

collared shirts, sports jackets (at least at the start of the show) - this was uncommon in that era. no video was available, so the only ‘visual’ option was to see it live. and that was 1/4 a mile away in a basketball stadium with no big screens, but binoculars helped a bit. a few years later, bruce was included in the no nukes film.

“it”, in case you’re wondering

different version…

Saint - St., plus there’s a moment
of “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” thrown in, so a little hidden bridge to the previous song.

@Yoda_Daenerys sorry, but you played this yourself back in game 110

@januarymick gaaaah! must have been caught by the not expanding all syndrome. would nice if that could be the default option for that thread.

@steeltoesenator I hate to admit that I like this song - he’s such a douche - but the song has a great compelling quality.
I guess he’s honest, at least.

@Kyeh yeah, the lyrics are pretty cringey.
I do remember this song getting lots of radio play back in the day though.

@steeltoesenator Doesn’t seem possible that this hadn’t been played before. Wild to see songs I’ve heard 100+ times still showing up in new threads.
