Driving Game (Part 40)

ExtraMedium shared some links said Mon, Oct 3rd 2022 at 5:03pm 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!

- @Kyeh It’s always struck me as a quirky/surreal take on the “neighbors driving each other crazy” theme, although it seems like the musicians are more like mice in the walls…? Who knows, he IS a Penn, after all. They’re a unique bunch! Lol

- @Kyeh I love pretty much the whole ‘album’…fell in love with “Red Light” and actually bought the hard copy CD.
  “Missouri” is really good, too. Something about the wistfulness got to me

- @Kyeh You might find this interesting, he actually had a brief, dramatic friendship with Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys in an attempt to break into the Hollywood music scene. Some prominent people thought he had promise, and one of his songs was adapted by the Beach Boys & made it onto their album, “20/20,” but his volatility & unprofessional behavior put an end to any chance of a career. This all happened in the summer of 1968, shortly before the murders, and even played a role in them.

- @ircon96 Ok, I have a DEEEEEEP cut connection but it only connects to the music video so I’ll put it here and we can keep going with another link.
  
  Steely Dan - Do It Again
  
  The connection is that Chevy Chase was the drummer for a band in school and left because he didn’t think they would go anywhere. The band changed its name after getting a new drummer and went on to be Steely Dan. Chase dodged being a famous musician only to become a famous actor. Some guys have all the luck.

  probably wouldn’t have had as much back trouble if he had stayed with drumming!
  (and yes, that’s a cool back story)
