Basic Rules: Follow the posted music video with a different song, band, or musician tied directly to the previous post.

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.

@mike808 You said
(I couldn’t get into that thread anymore to answer - I had to copy this from my email.)
Okay, and thanks.
@Kyeh @mike808 I almost called it. Decided that I was probably too old or not cool enough to get the reference
The Hives - Walk Idiot Walk
@januarymick Never in the history of walks, has there been a more idioter walk than this one.
@mike808 without a doubt!
@januarymick Thanks for propping up the new thread. My kid graduated this weekend so I’ve been away from my computer.
@ExtraMedium no problem…congrats on the graduation!

@llangley one my TOP 3 albums!
@llangley Can’t go wrong with a little (or a lotta) banjo & mandolin, with some steel & slide guitar to round it out!
@ircon96 hell yeah, and the harmonies were perfection!! Especially before Timothy B. Schmidt bailed for the Eagles…

For the double. Red -> Brown, “Sex” in title
@mike808 Does that mean i get extra credit for matching 2 words, red & hot?
@ircon96 The double score comes from matching something from the artist and separately, something from the title.
And @LeHigh (must be a French user) already claimed the “perfect quad double” where both the artist and the title match themselves, with “Talk Talk - Talk Talk”. It was a response to someone claiming they matched the word “the” in the artist with the word “the” in the artist of their song. Most bands start with “The”, so it’s a stretch to call it a “match”.
So I posted a song by a band called “The The” in response, and to point out that matching on pronouns and articles is a gimmick and a crutch.
A subsequent road down self-titled artists ensued until the chain was broken. However, I am certain there is a long road of such that has yet to be travelled.
@lehigh @mike808 Aww, damn! I just joined this game, so i missed all that, unfortunately. Thanks for catching me up! Even if it didn’t take forever for my phone to load the old pages, it would take me even longer to read them all!
@ircon96
You can read them all at the text-only cheat sheet
@mike808 Thanks! I started looking thru those, but didn’t realize all those details were included. I’ll have to check them out when i get a minute (or several…we Mehtizens are nothing if not prolific! )
Beasto Blanco - Machine Girl
@januarymick That’s Calico Cooper (Alice Cooper’s daughter) on lead vocals.
@januarymick Nice to see she’s taken up the family biz!
@ircon96 @januarymick
Dad must be so proud!
@ircon96 @januarymick @Kyeh
Exactly what I was thinking, WOW, she’s definitely her father’s daughter!
The only reason I don’t like this metal head music is because I can’t hear/understand the lyrics! … and then of course there’s the whole sound thing too.
@Lynnerizer Amen. Not to mention, there usually isn’t a hook, I’m a sucker for those in my favorite music!
@ircon96 @Lynnerizer Hah - sometimes you’re better off not understanding those lyrics!
@ircon96 @januarymick @Lynnerizer
I went looking for lyrics but couldn’t find any. But I did find a pretty neat interview with Calico Cooper and Brother Latham:

@ircon96 @Kyeh @Lynnerizer this is a live performance so the lyrics are not as clear as on the studio version…I’ve seen them live and they do put on quite a show!
@ircon96 @januarymick @Lynnerizer
I bet it’s exciting! I’m not a metal fan as you can probably guess (my brother is a diehard metalhead though.) But I get how exhilarating the energy must be! I was just out tackling the long-neglected mess on my back patio and thinking that maybe some music like that is just what I need.
@ircon96
YES, me too!

@mike808 Double match?
@ircon96 Sure, but are you really wanting to take credit for your prowess in matching the word “my” in a song title?
@ircon96 @mike808 technically, I think it counts
@ircon96 @januarymick
Well, I did say “sure”, so I agree that it counts. I simply added my view on the relativity between a match such as this one and other double matches.
Much like saying a participation trophy is still a trophy, just like the championship trophy is also a trophy. Yet there is a perceived relativity between someone boasting of the former compared to the latter.
To rephrase the question, would you be equally proud to have matched solely on the word “my” as a normal posting, or would you think “Yes, it is a match, technically, but it’s weak sauce. I need to take a shower because I feel dirty after calling that one a match. I was tired.”
I’m not saying it isn’t a double match. I’m saying that I would have picked a better example to boast about as a demonstration of that ability.
If that was your first double, then keep at it, you’ll land a clever one later and we will bow before its magnificence.
@mike808 oh MY…look what you started This is awesome
LEGOS! EGGOS! STRATEGO! AWESOME!
@januarymick @mike808 “I agree that it counts. We…bow before its magnificence.” There, FTFY.

@llangley This thread is so overloaded it’s hard to even open for me, so I’m not surprised.
