Driving Game (Part 22)
1Original Explanation:
Basic Rules: Follow the posted music video with a different song, band, or musician tied directly to the previous post.

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.

@kyeh Congrats!! Such a good game
This was fun
@llangley It was! Thanks, and condolences - but as I said to @tinamarie1974 when the Avs beat the Blues, it just felt like this was the Avs’ year! I’m sure your guys will be back with a vengeance next year! The Lightning have made history; so impressive.
@llangley @tinamarie1974
That is definitely the most magnificent trophy in all of the sports.
@Kyeh @llangley
/giphy Congratulations
@llangley @tinamarie1974
Thanks - I’ll admit I am new on the ice hockey bandwagon, but this was pretty exciting and I might start watching from now on. Going from last place to first in 5 years is impressive!

(Vetoed) Queen & Annie Lennox & David Bowie - Under Pressure
@ExtraMedium Veto Challenge.
How does this connect with Morrissey - Cosmic Dancer?
@ExtraMedium @mike808 Well, Bowie was singing with Morrissey in the version /youtube chose, so my guess is British singer and Bowie sing a signature song of a deceased, beloved British glam rock superstar and the crowd goes wild?
@mike808 @mossygreen What mossy said. The version shared was Morrissey and David Bowie together.
That said, I’m fine with a veto and re-roll. I’m just glad I got to share this one for others to enjoy, even if it’s skipped.
@ExtraMedium @mossygreen
I was going by what @mossygreen asked youtube to search for “Morrissey - Cosmic Dancer”, which had no mention of Bowie in those search terms.
If you’re matching off something from the particular video youtube randomly selected from the search terms that wasn’t in those search terms, then yeah, I think the challenge to explain is valid.
I wasn’t asking for a veto, just an explanation since the link wasn’t clear.
@ExtraMedium @mossygreen
If you want to fix it, adjust mossy’s search to “Morissey and Bowie - Cosmic Dancer”. And then your supergroup “Queen/Lennox/Bowie - Under Pressure” post makes sense.
Then the stars also align for when I transliterate this to the text-only thread.
@mike808 Nah, it was a valid veto and my fault for not reading the posted connection and only going for the video title. I saw Bowie’s name and excitedly went straight to find my video, but should have checked first.
Elton John - Tiny Dancer
Link for Morrissey - Cosmic Dancer due to prior veto.
@mossygreen posted:
/youtube Morrissey and David Bowie - Cosmic Dancer
@ExtraMedium posted
Queen & Annie Lennox & David Bowie - Under Pressure
@mike808
This still doesn’t follow the listed rules above since it requires the / youtube connection to the song to work. Seems like we went down that trail earlier in the game…
@chienfou The connection between the posts is explicitly Bowie in the adjusted entries I posted above.
The /youtube is just a shortcut to name the artist and the track and the youtube video to go with it in one step.
I’ve explained how fixing MG’s post (adding Bowie explicitly to the YT search term) fixes EM’s post by making the connection clear.
@chienfou @mike808 No need to fix it though. Wasn’t the intended post by mossy so my lack of reading created a violation of the “not based on the video alone” link. All good though, Tiny Dancer is great and easy to connect to.
As you were, folks.
@chienfou @ExtraMedium Queen and Annie Lennox open more options than Morrisey and Cosmic Dancer.
The link from Elton John - Tiny Dancer to Morrisey - Cosmic Dancer is valid. So is “Morrisey and David Bowie - Cosmic Dancer”.
@chienfou @mike808 @mossygreen So whose turn is it and what’s the next track?!?
/youtube David Bowie - Wild is the Wind
I love this song, and especially Nina Simone’s version:
@Kyeh Have you seen Questlove’s documentary, Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)? She was such a commanding presence, def a Queen & then some!
@ircon96 I’ve only seen a bit of it on the Academy Awards show but I do want to see the whole film - it looks very cool.
@Kyeh Highly recommended! Def worth seeking it out.
David Gray - Babylon
@ircon96 Repeat from Game 9 by @ExtraMedium.
@ExtraMedium @mike808 Oops, that was way before i joined the madness…er, i mean fun!
@ircon96 From the intro:
David Gray - Sail Away
@ExtraMedium @mike808 How about this one?
Enya - Sail Away (Ploxy Remix) (aka Orinoco Flow)
I have to post Don Pelletier’s remix.
