Driving Game (Part 62)
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!

@ircon96
Can you post another link please, this one says it is restricted.
@chienfou @ircon96 I was able to click through to Youtube…
@ircon96 @Kyeh
yep, but I miss seeing the preview…
@chienfou @ircon96 I found this delightful quote:
In an interview on VH1’s Behind the Music, Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh stated in reaction to the song that: “I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and… I hate him for it, basically.”
@chienfou @Kyeh Yeah, sorry about that, but i noticed after it was too late. Although i checked for an alternate version to post as a reply & i didn’t see one of the original video, just a live version. Looks like Al is on top of the copyright enforcement!
@Kyeh Yes, i found that quote very entertaining, too. I came across that clip while looking for the video…i love all those dedicated YouTubers posting all this stuff!
@chienfou @ircon96 @Kyeh I updated the top view to the live one with a direct link and if you want to see the original video you can just click through here.
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @Kyeh
Check out 1:18 on the video… Does that ‘guy’ look vaguely familiar to you???
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96
Oh, yeah - I had that thought when I watched it too!
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @Kyeh
does “that guy” have a name (I mean as that character, not the singing cowboy…)??
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96
On here he’s called “Chinface.”
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @Kyeh
thanks. I’ve seen him/it numerous times but never had a moniker to go with the character. (in fact I never really realized what it was until today when I saw the Weird Al vid and went back and looked at the meh clips!)
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96
I never gave a lot of thought either, but I guess “he’s” been around for a while!

So glad I got to post this. Fun fact, this was part of Dave Grohl’s audition to be in Nirvana and was later released as a B-Side. It’s the only all-Grohl song they released as Nirvana and technically the first Foo Fighters song since he was the first, and only, member of Foo Fighters when the first album was released.
Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea (Live on MTV Unplugged)
Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman
The Police - Tea in the Sahara
Mal Blum - Black Coffee
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Squeeze - Black Coffee in Bed
I am surprised this is the first appearance of Squeeze in our game.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze
@steeltoesenator How had this not been played previously?!? Great add!
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
This is also a delightful first for the game.
Beach Boys - Surfin’ Safari
The Cramps - Surfin’ Dead
Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers
The Wallflowers - One Headlight
Orleans - Still the One
@chienfou didn’t you play this in game 55? Dupe.
@steeltoesenator
Dammit… I sure did! My CRS * is flaring up again I guess. I even tried to search for it. Must have not refreshed the page before I input the search terms…
*CRS= Can’t remember shit!
Willie Nelson - City of New Orleans
/youtube Dr. John - Goin’ Back to New Orleans
Wet Willie - Grits Ain’t Groceries
@chienfou
Crap and now I dropped this in without refreshing that page and seeing Kyeh’s entry. This has been a total fail night!
SKIP THIS POST AND LINK TO ONE ABOVE
Canned Heat - Going up the Country
@chienfou here’s the version they are better known for (at Woodstock)
Tiny Stills - Everything Is Going Great
Tiny Tim - Tiptoe Through The Tulips
@chienfou I detest this!
@chienfou @Kyeh When i saw this, i was thinking, “Ruh-roh!” But, at least we made it this far without an appearance.
@ircon96 @Kyeh
Well, if he was a friend of Howard Stern’s
that’s good enough for methat says a lot!Bette Midler - The Rose
/youtube The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup
It really annoys me that Geico used this in their dumb commercials - what does it have to with motorcycles?
AC/DC - Shake Your Foundations
Eddy Money - She Was Shakin’
Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money
Viewer discretion advised… I wonder if she’ll do something with this for the halftime show?
Interesting factoid: this was inspired by an accountant IRL who stole money from her. Moral of the story: don’t piss off Rihanna.
Hall & Oates - Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid
Rolling Stones - Some Girls
Mötley Crüe - Girls Girls Girls
@chienfou DUPE (from game 11)

@steeltoesenator
