Driving Game (Part 74)
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.

So remember a few games back someone asked about doing this with movies? I knew something similar had been done a while ago, and I finally found it:

Neuroticfish - Why Don’t You Hate Me?
@metaphore So I thought I had a double with The Beatles Long and Winding Road - searched and didn’t see it; but then AFTER I went back to check once more I saw you’d already posted this, and I found that I’d played L&WR in game 22! Whew. Just as well - I’d have been bummed to just miss getting a double.

@chienfou Yeah, you did! But i recovered in time, and with a really cool song. Phew.
@ircon96
herd flock murder. I love it!
@chienfou Not to mention seagulls & crows, it’s almost a roundabout double!
@ircon96
Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi
@chienfou
Dammit… should have played the double with Murder of One!
@chienfou Dammit, i was just gonna post that one as a bridge, but you took the wind right out of my sails!
Frank Zappa - Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow
@steeltoesenator You got me! Are you happy now? You forced me to replace Cab Calloway with Coldplay!
@ircon96 @steeltoesenator
Umm, I like Coldplay. 🫢
@ircon96 @Kyeh @steeltoesenator
likewise
@chienfou @ircon96 @Kyeh given a choice I believe I would have been team Cab Calloway…
@chienfou @Kyeh @steeltoesenator Don’t get me wrong, i love Coldplay, it’s just that they were the more obvious choice. And i wanted to yank STS’s chain!
Coldplay - Yellow
@ircon96
ISWYDT! Sneaky
@chienfou
@ircon96
so now you orphaned my play.
I’ll pull it.
(it’s my fault for commenting you your ‘placeholder’. Otherwise you would have lost this slot when you deleted it!
@chienfou Oops, that’s what you get for going off half-cocked! (Actually, i stuck a period in there & saved it to give me a chance to retrieve the video. My phone is running as slow as hell at the moment!
I wonder why I prefer playing on the middle of the night… )
@ircon96
ummm. that’s NOT a cab calloway video
@chienfou I had to change it cuz STS got in ahead of me with the Zappa tune.
@ircon96
Which I had linked to… then you orphaned mine by inserting yours! Well played!!
@ircon96
I’ll let it slide since you are crippled up and all…
(How is the rehab going??)
@chienfou Aww, taking pity on the gimp! It’s coming along. I have one physical therapist who’s determined to kick my ass every session. I’m like, lady, I’ve got my one good foot on the proverbial banana peel, take it easy!
@ircon96
/giphy no pain no gain
@chienfou Eww, it’s bad enough, why does it have to be PULSATING?! Lol
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter
@chienfou
I didn’t think they even knew what meh was!!
@chienfou (Good save, btw, there’s always room for more Pearl Jam!)
@ircon96
that’s right… (mumbles incoherently…)
@ircon96
BTW, @chienfou, since you’re majorly responsible for threads filling so fast, and since you’ve taken charge of the Cheatsheet,
(merci beaucoup pour ça!) would you be willing to start a new one soon since it’s the weekend? It just gets so that I can’t load them at all once they reach the 90s or more. And if you start them you’ll know what’s important for doing the Cheatsheet.
@ircon96 @Kyeh
hey…I resemble that remark…!
(it helps that things have been overly peaceful in the ER, and I am making up for being AWOL last week!)
I’ll have to go back and see if I can figure out how to make it work like it should. I know I can get the title correct (I think) but not sure about the background pic ( not that THAT really matters) I can always set one up and let EM fix my screwups Monday! As they say, “sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness rather than permission”.
@chienfou @ircon96 I guess you have to make up for the weeks you’re not at work and don’t post much.
I know that EM can fix the banner; I had to ask for help when I created the topic about the spider but “OMG” brought up a banner image of the dopey-looking OMG doll.
When I made that new thread and got lambasted, my mistake was solely calling it “Pt.” instead of “Part”! I didn’t even realize I’d changed it, and certainly didn’t know that it made any difference.
@ircon96 @Kyeh
yep… I remember that (mis)adventure.
@Kyeh I’ll try to make a new thread when I get home after 2330 central.
@chienfou Thanks!
@Kyeh
Done!
@chienfou Thanks!
