Driving Game (Part 88)
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.

Starting up here with:
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Summertime
@ExtraMedium dupe from game 21 but I’m gonna play off of it.
@steeltoesenator I don’t pick a new start track on each new game, I just list the last play from the previous game to help you guys keep going. I was pretty sure this was a dupe when I saw it posted, but that was almost a year ago. I forgive 'em.
@ExtraMedium @steeltoesenator Sorry, i just figured out the problem, i searched “summertime” with a space after it & only the Springsteen song came up. Seems like “Find in page” couldn’t find its own ass with both hands & a map! Oh well, thanks for keeping it, even if only in honor of summer being just around the corner!
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @steeltoesenator
I thought it looked familiar when I saw it posted… no wonder… I was the one that posted it! (and yes, it was about 11 months ago!)
@ExtraMedium @ircon96 @steeltoesenator
Just checked my post and see that the link is now borked due to copyright issues… so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kay One - Louis Louis
/youtube danny kaye - hula lou
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
To make the connection clear, the singer is Jay Kay. Also, I can’t believe this is the first Jamiroquai track to hit the game!
@ExtraMedium This is the only Jamiroquai song you really need. But I too am surprised it took this long to show up.
Orgy - Fiction (Dreams in Digital)
Virtual Riot - Paper Planes
M.I.A. - Paper Planes
People in Planes - Pretty Buildings
Talking Heads - Building On Fire
Two Feet - Fire In My Head
/youtube Pointer Sisters - Fire
cheat Sheet UTD thru part 87
All right… I have been out of town, traipsing around Colorado with SHMBO and the grandkids (in a Mustang ragtop no less!). Just got back to the BHM airport at 0038 today and didn’t get home until 0235. Had a metric shit-ton of stuff to do around the house before coming to work, and things here have finally slowed down enough that I got caught up thru part 87!
Play on!

@chienfou Next to Appalachian Spring this is one of my Aaron Copeland favorites.
Guess Who - Hoe Down Time
@steeltoesenator
was gonna post this one but could not for the life of me remember who did it, and google wasn’t forthcoming with the correct info. Tried 3 dog night, CCR, Grand funk… but NOT Guess Who.

Disturbed - Down with the Sickness

@januarymick
thanks!
Johnny Hates Jazz - Don’t Say It’s Love
Jazz Mandolin Project f/Jon Fishman - Oh Yeah
@steeltoesenator I believe this is the video I meant to post. Spent the afternoon wrangling middle schoolers on the next to last day of school so wasn’t really paying attention.
/youtube natalie merchant carnival
festival, a.k.a. carnival, since stretching is the theme of #88, perhaps?
@Yoda_Daenerys
nicely played… even if it is off the reply post version!
I think festival carnival is a legit connection, especially with the explanation.
Spoon - Merchants of Soul
@steeltoesenator what’s the connection here?
carnival merchants perhaps?
@Yoda_Daenerys Natalie Merchant. Merchant(s) not much of a stretch imo.

@januarymick my favorite cover of any song ever…totally retooled it and made it their own.
Nina Simone - Indigo
Ska Toon Network - Indigo
I already played the original of this song, but I really love this cover.
@metaphore
Alright I am confused… STN is NOT the artist, correct? Is Indigo the song or the artist? What about Kississippi? Where does that fall in the mix???
@chienfou Ska Toon Network is the artist. Kississippi is the original threat this one is a cover of. Indigo is the song title.
A mostly joke band that pretty much only does covers
@metaphore
ska TOON or TUNE? You spell it one way and the overlay on the video is spelled the other.
@chienfou I’m guess I’m just a mess with this post it is Skatune. I got messed up cuz it’s a play on cartoon network. And then the YouTube account has a space between ska and tune but the albums have it as a single word.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@metaphore
OK, I’ll fix it for the cheat sheet. Skatune Network right??
You got lucky because I tried to post a cheat sheet update for game 88 but the formatting seems to be borked so I pulled it down for now.
@chienfou going off their website, Skatune Network is correct.
@metaphore
\Thanks… already posted it but I think it will show up well enough in any searches.

@metaphore You played this in game 77 but ima gonna play off it anyway.

How about we move this to Part 89?
