Driving Game (Part 58)
3If 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!

I hope this is close enough of a match? If you don’t know the story behind this song, it’s worth Googling, really powerful. And Steven Spielberg, of all people, directed the video.
@ircon96 Wow. Brave of him, for sure!
Next song matches a word but decidedly changes the tone. (Kind of weird having this going with blaineg’s “i have some questions”
thread simultaneously.)
@Kyeh Yep, I’m starting to sense a common theme!
Phil Collins - Against All Odds
Alabama Shakes - Don’t Wanna Fight
Shakey Graves - Roll the Bones
Shakey Graves - Kiss The Girl
Had a chance to see Shakey Graves for my birthday last year. The second time I’ve seen 'em. Amazing live performers.
@ExtraMedium I do love me a jangly guitar!
Eric Idle feat. Richard Wilson - One Foot In the Grave
@ExtraMedium Could we get a new thread for the weekend, please? This one’s loading awfully slowly for me…
@Kyeh
@chienfou When you get a chance, your assistance with the cheat sheet is greatly appreciated, as always.
@ExtraMedium I’ll try to get to it tomorrow… I’m away from the house today.
@ExtraMedium
Done!
Picking up the thread from:

OK… I’ll Bite. Connection?
Never mind I looked it up… Didn’t know PIL = P.I.L. = Public Image Ltd.

Neon Trees - Animal
Deerhunter - Neon Junkyard
The Yardbirds - For Your Love
Eric Clapton - Black Magic Woman
To clear up the connection, Eric Clapton got his start playing guitar for The Yardbirds (as did Jeff Beck [RIP], and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin) and he performed the middle break section of “For Your Love.”
More trivia for you, he left the band over that song. He felt it wasn’t in line with the blues style of music the band was playing otherwise and its release drove his departure. Beck played his first gig with the Yardbirds only two days after Clapton’s departure.
@ExtraMedium
That connection I knew… The back story was new to me though. Thanks
Hole - Malibu
Apologies, but I had to jump on the opportunity to post another Hole song.
@ircon96
And you did “Violet” earlier as well!
@chienfou @ircon96 Their cover of Gold Dust Woman has long been one of my favorites.
@chienfou @ExtraMedium Yes, i recalled both of those had been posted (“Violet” is my favorite of theirs), so we’re getting quite the collection going.
Miley Cyrus - Malibu
