Driving Game (Part 31)
2Original 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.

Picking up from:
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again '87
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way
Elton John - Something About the Way You Look Tonight
Beatles - Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
/youtube The Monkees - Daydream Believer
the Monkees - I’m a Believer
Evidently, they believed in a lot of stuff!
/youtube Poison - Something To Believe In
Brand New - Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don’t
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets
@chienfou @koechnerd
To have youtube find a song and embed the video automatically, start a line with the mehdown command /youtube (put your search words here).
Like this:
/youtube Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets
Chienfou wanted a specific video, so he copied the link from YouTube and pasted it in instead of the mehdown command which just takes the first song youtube returns from the search.
@chienfou @koechnerd @mike808 I cleaned it up. Thanks guys.
Rolling Stones- Gimme Shelter
@chienfou IMO, the BEST Rolling Stones song of them all…
@chienfou @Kyeh Amen. Thank you, Merry Clayton!
The doc, “20 Feet From Stardom,” was great, and I also came across this interesting article about her, including the sad story that followed the recording session:
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/apr/08/gimme-shelter-left-a-dark-taste-in-my-mouth-merry-clayton
@chienfou @ircon96 I’d read that article too, it really is sad.
/youtube ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin’
@Kyeh you duped me
@llangley Ulp - sorry!
@Kyeh lol…I only looked it up because it sounded familiar…wasn’t expecting it to be from me
@llangley
Oh, funny! (Good taste, obviously.)
@Kyeh @llangley
At least you didn’t duplicate yourself… Which has been done at least once (and I’ll admit I would have done as well had I not looked it up!)
@chienfou @Kyeh me too…on the same thread
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps
Three Dog Night - Never Been to Spain
Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
/youtube Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)
Black Coffee & David Guetta - Drive (featuring Delilah Montagu)
@mike808
Ok I’ll bite… What’s the link?
@chienfou @mike808 Yeah, I’m not seeing it either.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @mike808 I’m thinking it’s because the lyrics are “…drive all night”?
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96
@Kyeh must have posted while I was getting the link from YT. Fork it, I guess. The link is to the Joan Baez track prior to Frankie Valley with a “drive” theme.
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @Kyeh @mike808
No problem… we’ve all moved on! I was just wondering if I was tired and was missing something LOL!!

Driveways - Night Terrors
@metaphore And a double!
/youtube Rush - Fly By Night
The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
Stan Rogers - White Squall
Amazing Canadian folk singer who’s songs tell great stories
@chienfou Reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot. So sad that that he passed so young.
@ircon96
Absolutely! His stories are both lyrical and evocative, and frequently tell a moral tale.
/youtube Roger Waters - Two Suns in the Sunset
/youtube pink floyd fat old sun
@mossygreen I believe this is a double, Roger Waters --> Pink Floyd
CLIFFDIVER - We Saw The Same Sunset
/youtube Kenny Chesney - Somewhere In the Sun
Another anthem
/youtube Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - Somewhere over the rainbow
@Grumman This is a repeat from Game 25 but Yoda locked you in so no veto this time around.
@ExtraMedium @Grumman
Why not, “Somewhere” still links from Yoda to Kenny Chesney.
@ExtraMedium @Grumman wait, wut?
i think i missed some rules, or something…
/8ball is it fair
Very doubtful

/youtube only the lonely from black and white nights roy orbison
/youtube the motels only the lonely
Neck Deep - The Beach Is For Lovers (Not Lonely Losers)
/youtube brian eno on some faraway beach
@mossygreen This reminds me so much of “Still the Same” by Bob Seger, like a Zen version or something
@ircon96 Oh man, I would never have made that connection on my own, but I totally see what you mean. They’re like inside-out versions of the same idea. The slow build, the repetition, the aching melancholy, the whole staring-into-the-middle-distance of it all, it’s there.
/youtube the kings amazon beach
/youtube Rush A Farewell to Kings
Gypsy Kings - Bamboleo
Because…dancing!
@chienfou I LOVE this! We saw the Gypsy Kings at Red Rocks once!
@Kyeh
That’s a fantastic venue. Saw Emmy Lou Harris there, many moons ago
@chienfou It is a special place. We saw Arlo Guthrie there; a hang-glider sailed down from the back towards and over the stage mid-concert!
/youtube Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy
/youtube donovan the enchanted gypsy

@ExtraMedium Gotta love any band that rocks the accordion!

(Please list the artist and title separate from the YouTube video in order to make it easier to keep the cheat sheet up. Thanks!
/youtube Aerosmith Janie’s Got a Gun
/youtube steely dan with a gun
/youtube Guns N’ Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
@Kyeh whats the connection?
@Kyeh @mml666 “gun”. The match can be band, title, a theme, something pretty obvious. If not, ask like you did!
Don’t forget to check the Cheat Sheet for duplicates (like certain purple people eater fans are prone to do).
@Kyeh @mike808 GnR.
DOH!
I’m an idiot.
Carry on.
/youtube Morris Day and The Time Jungle Love
@mml666 Wow, i haven’t heard this in ages… Thanks for the nostalgia break!
Every Time I Die - Goddam Kids These Days
/youtube Jackson Browne - These Days
Another anthem… from my earlier years

@ircon96
DUPE
Game 11
Bruce Springsteen - Girls in Their Summer Clothes
Sorry for the back to back entries, but i had the perfect opportunity to post my favorite summer anthem (before it’s over! ).
@ircon96 Back to backs are not allowed. And you used a dupe to get there.
You just have to wait for the right track to present itself.
@mike808 Ruh-roh, does that mean i get the Driving Game death penalty?
@ircon96 No, it means the entries on the cheat sheet will be issued a citation. lol.
Dupes are marked.
I did the same, early on, and this is what I was told:
You can start your own game with different rules.
@ircon96 @mike808 i call for an exception to be made for this transgression, since this song is…
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@mike808 @Yoda_Daenerys Thanks for the reprieve vote, Driving Game jail sucks!
@ircon96 @Yoda_Daenerys
I guess we could always guve you some blame on the scapegoat thread. That is if we didn’t happen to have Ghost Goat @hchavers for this month (two months early, it seems. ).

@chienfou sorry! I keep forgetting to do that.

/youtube The Rembrandts - I’ll Be There for You
@mml666 what’s the connection?
@mml666 @Yoda_Daenerys could it be “be”? took a minute…
@mml666 @Yoda_Daenerys plus it’s the THEME FROM “FRIENDS”.
Doh!!
After further review…GOOD ONE!!
@llangley @Yoda_Daenerys That’s it. It will forever be known as the theme song from Friends.
Kill Hannah - Vultures (Be There for Me)
Hannah Montana - The Best Of Both Worlds

@llangley
This song always brings out the best, the best, the best, the best, …
And Mediocrebot is and asshole.
Ray Lamontagne - You Are the Best Thing
Mountain - Theme for an Imaginary Western
(Don’t make me say it!)
@chienfou Puns truly are the slowest form of humor.
@mike808
Actually it’s not a pun… If you spoke French you would know that Lamontagne means the mountain…
Mom Jeans - Anime Theme Song
/youtube ZZ Top - Blue Jeans Blues
A blast from the past… I saw them in concert at the old Tampa fairgrounds when they released the Fandango album. What a great show (and album)!! I remember that War was there and maybe Atlanta Rhythm Section plus 4 or 5 other bands for the all-day concert. I think it cost $7

Those were the days!
