Driving Game (Part 17)
4Original Explanation:
Basic Rules: Follow the posted music video with a different song, band, or musician tied directly to the previous post.
Example: I post Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal.
You could then post Michael Bolton, Jackson Browne, Outcast - Ms. Jackson, Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal, Fun Lovin Criminals…
Create a new comment for your submission and leave replies just to talk about the comment’s connection or validity.
You can veto if you don’t agree that there’s a connection. In that case, you can post your own connection to the previous song or @ the person you’re vetoing and tell them they need to make the connection clear or replace it. No hard feelings, either way, we’re just having fun sharing music. Note: If someone has already made a new connection to the song you want to veto, you missed your chance and the song stands. You can still let the person know where you found the problem and maybe they can clear things up.
The full history with links to each of the past threads can be found on the Driving Game Cheat Sheet. -Thanks to @mike808 for the creation and upkeep of that thread.

Zager & Evans - In The Year 2525
@ExtraMedium thanks for getting this going again.
@ExtraMedium @januarymick
Yeah, I was afraid you were putting an end to it.
@januarymick @Kyeh I’ll post up a “closed for business” notice if it comes to that, but until the devs tell me we’re breaking the system too much by overloading it with video links I think we’re good to play on.
@januarymick @Kyeh We need to come up with an official image for the header and I can just keep the same one across the game. I don’t care for the ones the system likes to pull.
@ExtraMedium @januarymick
Oh, good. I agree about the header.
@ExtraMedium @januarymick @Kyeh
I like the header image from Game 5.
@mike808 Yeah, I’m a fan as well. I’ll go ahead and put that on all of them so far and if we decide on something different in the future we’ll adjust at that time.
I’ve changed the link back section to be a single link to the Cheat Sheet to keep from having to update each new thread with all those links. Are you going to keep the cheat sheet up to date or should it be on everyone to help maintain it?
@ExtraMedium I’ll do 16. It’s easy enough to select all the text in a browser, paste into a text editor (I use vim), strip it down to poster, artist, & title, pretty it up in a mehdown table, add header and footer text and then paste a new entry.

@mossygreen Repeat from Game 6.
@mike808 Thanks! I checked the cheat sheet but just realized I forgot to expand all the comments.
Elmore James - Stormy Monday
Trifecta - artist name and title match, with bonus for being topical because today is Monday.
And it’s the blues, a killer joint, and Monday is … well, … Blue Monday.
P.S. Going back to Etta James since the last one was a dupe.

I’ve been waiting to drop this one.
Vinahouse (portmanteau of Vietnamese and House) is the genre.
YT has hours of DJ sets of it. Killer work/chillax tracks.
It’s a complete rework of Oran “Juice” Jones’ track.
Here is a DJ Minh Anh set for more of this style.
#Nonstopvinahouse
The Shangri- Las - Remember ( Walking in the Sand)
I bet a lot of the younger crowd had no idea that this is the original version of the song they’ve heard so many times on TikTok.
@ExtraMedium What is this “TikTok” you speak of? How does one watch something on the TikTok? Is it like that BookFace thing?
@ExtraMedium @mike808 TikTok is another one of Mediocrebot’s former triggers; it used to generate the response.
Aerosmith - Remember (Walking in the Sand)
@januarymick friend of mine would describe this as “an unnecessary cover” lol
Kaskade & Deadmau5 - I Remember
