Driving Game (Part 35)

ExtraMedium shared some links said Wed, Sep 7th 2022 at 12:38pm ET

If you’re new to the Driving Game, you can just look back at the start of it all here in Part 1 for the full rules.

Please consider the kind folks who maintain our cheat sheet and add your post in the format of “Artist Name - Song Name” followed by a link to the song on the next line. That way they all look the same and it’s easier on the Cheat Sheet team when it’s time to update that list.

Speaking of the Cheat Sheet… The full history of our game, with links to each of the past threads, can be found on the Driving Game Cheat Sheet. Use that to avoid getting vetoed by a duplicate.

Have fun!

  Wow… that is definitely a song that was influenced by some chemical assistance…
  On a more personal note I found THIS on the Wiki page for the song:
  
  The title of the Man or Astro-man? song “Many Pieces of Large Fuzzy Mammals Gathered Together at a Rave and Schmoozing with a Brick” is based on this song.
  
  My S-I-L was Dr Deleto in that band!
