Driving Game (Part 46)
4If 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!

Back from a week at the beach…
Cheat Sheet UTD thru game 45
@chienfou fuck! had i known i would have slipped a few in
Etta James - Swing Low Sweet Chariot
Spinal Tap - Listen to the Flower People
Not ONE Spinal Tap song till now? I’m flabbergasted!
/youtube Chad & Jeremy - A Summer Song
@Kyeh Chad & Jeremy! Marianne Faithfull lost her virginity to Jeremy!
@mossygreen I did NOT know that!
@Kyeh You should read her autobiography! Everybody should read her autobiography!
@mossygreen
Now that I know about it, I definitely should!
Cyndi Lauper - Money Changes Everything
Eric Clapton - Change the World
@chienfou Love this song.
David Bowie - I’m Afraid of Americans
/youtube Simon & Garfunkel - America
@Kyeh
Love the imagery in this song. I said his bowtie is really a camera…
James Gang - Walk Away
Air Force Band - Wild Blue Yonder
… Because veteran’s day!
(I had hoped someone would pick up anchors aweigh from the two back)
/youtube The Knitters - Give Me My Flowers
/youtube James Taylor - Long Ago And Far Away
@Kyeh one of my favorites
@llangley
Doesn’t he look so young in this video?
@Kyeh @llangley Didn’t we ALL look younger in 1970, though. Actually, I was in diapers back then, and sadly, I’m too soon headed for the age where I’ll probably need them again!
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence
Really surprised to see that this is only the second Simon & Garfunkel track in the game.
@ExtraMedium And it’s in this this thread! That IS surprising. I think Paul Simon has shown up before.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song
@ircon96 Grooovy!
@Kyeh Yeah, i probably should have included a photosensitivity warning! Lol
@ircon96
How does this one fit in?
@ircon96 @Lynnerizer “Song.”
@ircon96 @Kyeh
Duh IDK how I missed that, thanks!
@Kyeh @Lynnerizer I do that all the time! It’s like failing the world’s easiest puzzle sometimes.
@ircon96 @Lynnerizer I do it too.
Boy, look at all of us staying up all night, and there’s not even a Mehrathon going on.
@ircon96 @Kyeh
My nightly sleep pattern; on and off for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes starting around 7pm. Mehrathon or not!! It’s exhausting!
@Kyeh @Lynnerizer Sounds a lot like my “sleep” pattern…misery loves company, as they say. Although i don’t have a predictable start time, I’m all over the place, so it ends up being like a terrible game show.
I like that version much better than this one by Three Dog Night!
@Lynnerizer
Paul Williams - Just An Old Fashioned Love Song
Eddie Money - Love The Way You Love Me
Randy Newman - It’s Money That I Love
@januarymick A double!

This one has wrapped up. Head over to Part 47!
Toy Dolls - Nellie the Elephant
@GetClosure Sorry, we must have been entering ours at the same time, but this one appeared back in Game 33 & mine ended up posting after yours. The game continued from there, though, so it worked out… Rip in the space/time continuum averted!
@ircon96 Oi! Good catch! Sorry for the foul everybody! Guess my well of music references is more shallow than I anticipated.

Guess Who - American Woman
The Who - Baba O’Riley
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

The Cure - Lovesong
@ExtraMedium Could we have new list, por favor?
Picking up the thread from:
Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa
Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut
@GetClosure Sorry but this is a 3rd time repeat! Worked out though because @chienfou matched “cat.”

@chienfou @GetClosure @ircon96

AC/DC - It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll)
Who knew the bagpipes were a rock instrument? (There are no plaid heart emojis, that needs to be rectified immediately! )
@ircon96 It’s a long way to the end if you wanna hear the bagpipes!
(I think they sound better here than in all those dreary renditions of Amazing Grace.
Who decided that song must always be played on bagpipes anyhow?)
@Kyeh So true! Maybe cuz bagpipes are portable & they can’t bring the dreary pipe organs everywhere…?
The Casualties - Chaos Sound - Season of Mist
/youtube Total Chaos - Back to our Roots
/youtube Molly Hatchet - Saddle Tramp
/youtube It’s a Beautiful Day - Hot Summer Day
/youtube weezer africa
i recently went down a little weird all rabbit hole, after coolio passed.
he’s pretty all right, imo
Paul Simon - Under African Skies
@chienfou That’s a duplicate, but i love it, so i linked to Africa for a bridge. I’ll have to pay tribute to Weezer (one of my all-time favorites!) another time.
@ircon96
Crap! My bad. Got in a hurry and didn’t check. Thanks for keeping us on track.
@chienfou I forget to check all the time, this one just happened to stick out in my feeble memory. I esp hate when i remember to check AFTER posting, find out it’s a dupe, then have to scramble to find another one before the edit window expires.
@ircon96
I usually avoid the stress by just deleting mine and then going about finding another.
I try to look it up first, sometimes I get an ‘all clear’, post, then find that someone beat me to the punch and it leaves mine hanging out there ‘like a hair in a biscuit’.
As for me… I can’t believe how often I look up a tune and see it has already been posted… by ME!
@chienfou So true! I guess when we have a good song in our heads, it’s hard to let it go!
That happens all the time, where i don’t realize someone posted while i was entering mine. My phone is slow to update, esp when the page gets really full. Talk about scrambling! All part of the challenge, i guess!
@chienfou @ircon96
I discovered I did that with “Hot Summer Day” and I even looked before posting - but I posted the first one without the apostrophe in “It’s a Beautiful Day” so didn’t find it.
@chienfou @ircon96
I just Lol so loudly that I woke the cat up and scared the crap out of him!
@chienfou @Lynnerizer I hope he doesn’t call the humane society on you!
@ircon96 @Lynnerizer
And you’re on your own for the cleanup…
The All-American Rejects - Beekeeper’s Daughter

Shakira - Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)
