Driving Game (Part 77)
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.

** Cheat Sheet UTD thru 76 now!**
@chienfou I just did a quick count and we’re at 4190+ plays since the start of the game. Wild that there are so many great songs that still aren’t on the list.
I bet if we took out all the dupes and vetos we’re still over 4000 songs deep. Here’s to another year!
@ExtraMedium
yeah, I don’t think we average over 3 a game so pretty sure the math checks out!
Notable players with 100+ plays (not exact totals):
@chienfou - 640+
@Kyeh - 525+
@mossygreen - 390+
@januarymick - 350+
@ExtraMedium - 335+
@ircon96 - 305+
@metaphore - 305+

@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96 @januarymick @llangley @metaphore @mike808 @mossygreen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI Really! I didn’t realize I had so many - after pointing at chienfou
! What about @ircon96? Recent, but frequent?
@Kyeh ircon96 joined in part 18 but is definitely keeping up. I’ve slowed down quite a bit over time myself.
@ExtraMedium Oh, I missed her name, but yes, there she is right after you - impressive total!
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @januarymick @Kyeh @llangley @metaphore @mike808 @mossygreen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI Wow, Kyeh, you & the crazy dog sure are putting up the numbers!
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96 @januarymick @llangley @metaphore @mike808 @mossygreen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI Well, we started with the first game, but I didn’t think I had that many!
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96 @januarymick @Kyeh @llangley @mike808 @mossygreen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI I feel like I need to step it up now, only having half as many as some people
@chienfou @ExtraMedium @ircon96 @Kyeh @llangley @metaphore @mike808 @mossygreen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI I don’t know if I should be proud or embarrassed by this, lol…I do enjoy this thread…thank you @ExtraMedium for crunching the numbers!
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @januarymick @Kyeh @llangley @metaphore @mike808 @mossygreen @steeltoesenator @yakkoTDI
Crazy that I have been able to post that many. Even weirder to me that I recognize about 2/3 of the other posts either by artist or the actual song. I need to do a “data dump” and replace that stuff with something useful… like remembering to do the things SWMBO aske me to do!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
got confused right at the beginning with 'the mitosis of the future…" I’m at work and this seems a bit NSFW graphically. I’ll check it out when I get home…

@mossygreen
Good one!

@januarymick I really thought the title was “Take Your Mama Out” which would have matched the word ‘out’ but I believe the theme is still there…and I think this is an incredible performance…but I won’t object if someone feels the need to veto.
@januarymick Absolutely right on both counts, and also Jake Shears was never more beautiful.
