Driving Game (Part 67)
4Welcome to the Meh Forum Driving Game!

Basic Rules
Connect a new song to the previously played song by name, musician, musical group, or concept. Try to use the format “Artist - Song Title” when possible. Avoid repeats, and do not make two plays back to back.
To avoid repeating past songs, it’s best to always do a quick search of the current thread as well as checking in the official Driving Game Cheat Sheet before making your play.

@djsteve
Welcome. Good play!
Please post your entry as a top level (not reply) post.
@ExtraMedium can you fix that maybe?
@chienfou @djsteve I can’t move posts or create them under another person’s name. You might have to fix this one on the cheat sheet. Sorry.
@ExtraMedium
no problem. I’ll try to catch it when I set up the sheet later today… assuming I have time then.
@ExtraMedium
2 things:
Do we need to avoid dupes from the beginning of Driving Game (part 1) or just the current part (currently 67), and if the former, how the heck to do that without endless scrolling; and
I remember playing a game (preMeh) that linked actors; movies, dialogs in a similar way. Is that doable here?
@hap46st Try to avoid dupes for the whole game. https://meh.com/forum/topics/driving-game-cheat-sheet is a cheat sheet that has a list of all songs played, CTRL+F opens the find feature if you’re using a normal browser and you can search for a song title or artist. On mobile there’s a few more steps, I’ll add some screen shots after this post. With either you will want to go to the top of the cheat sheet and make sure to expand it for all posts.
@hap46st
Expand all posts for the cheat sheet
Hit the little hamburger option menu at the top of your browser
Select “Find in page”
Search for the song you want to post
@hap46st @ExtraMedium
One of the staffers had a game like that going for a while, but I can’t remember who … @ircon96, you were pretty good at it, do you remember?
@hap46st @ircon96 @Kyeh We could probably start up another game. Call it the Boredom Game and set some rules for making movie/tv connects. Wouldn’t hurt to have two games going, but it might be hard to keep both active.
Reply here with some rule ideas for how it should play out and I can create a new post for it. Shouldn’t need multiple parts like this game unless you wanted to try to add youtube links to the shows (which may not exist or would likely be much harder to do).
@ExtraMedium @hap46st @ircon96
I don’t expect to be active in that one so I don’t have ideas to offer; sounds like it could be a winner though.
@ExtraMedium @hap46st @Kyeh Sorry, that was quite awhile back, i can’t remember who started that one, but if it comes to me, I’ll let uno.
