Forum Driving Game!
10Let me start by telling how the game was played in my car, then we can play with modified rules for some forum fun.
Play starts with the driver naming a band, artist, song title, or album title. Example: Kurt Cobain.
Player two (going clockwise around the car) names a band, artist, song title, or album title using the first letter of the second word. Example: Call me Maybe.
The next player (even if there are only two) follows along having to start theirs with “M”. I think you get it at this point.
Variations, double letter reverses direction (Example: Chris Cornell) and single word responses go with the last letter of the word (Example: Nirvana continues with “A”). You can also do this with actors, TV shows, and movies if you’re not that into music.
For a harder game limit it to band/artist with no songs or albums allowed.
Next road trip you take with fun people, give this a shot and let me know how it goes.
Now for our forum game which is a greatly altered but possibly much harder variation on the driving game!
I’ll post a music video and you have to follow up with a song, band, or musician tied to it. Example: I post Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal.
You could then post Micahel Bolton, Jackson Browne, Outcast - Ms. Jackson, Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal, Fun Lovin Criminals…
Create a new comment for your submission and leave replies just for talking about the comment’s connection or validity.
You get it.
This could go on for a very long time or maybe you won’t want to play and they’ll all be making fun of me in the office tomorrow. I’m ok with either, honestly.
Here’s your starter! Enjoy the music and I hope you play along.

Christina Aguilera - Fighter
@Targaryen That’s quite a departure from Foo Fighters musically but a good call. Surely there are a lot of Christina’s in the music world.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Christina the Astonishing
Does this one work?
@Ignorant Fantastic!
@ExtraMedium yay!!
Cavetown – Lemon Boy
This was my kiddo’s suggestion.
T. Rex - 20th Century Boy
/youtube t rex 20th century boy
Bad Religion - 21st Century Digital Boy
@dave For a second I thought you’d missed the one above you and were tying this to “boy” from my earlier post. Great song choice.
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

Aimee Mann is the singer for 'Til Tuesday.
@SpecialK

@chienfou @SpecialK I can’t find one on Manfred’s wiki page. Seems like something that would be included.

@mossygreen
i missed the connection?
@chienfou @mossygreen I think it would be the sometimes Y, following CSN…
@mossygreen @shahnm
I thought that had to do with I before E…
/youtube AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
@shahnm Angus Young, yes?
@lehigh Yep.
@shahnm

Tesla - Love Song
@mike808
I was shocked that it took me a minute but I got the connection.
@chienfou @mike808 Help a brother out…
@mike808 @shahnm
Tesla promoted AC current
(which is funny for a battery driven car brand…)
@chienfou @mike808 @shahnm
The car brand is misnamed, really.
@Kyeh @mike808 @shahnm
Exactly

@ybmuG
Are albums in play? They weren’t in the OP “rules”
@chienfou my bad, i thought they were. So consider this fork tine terminal
@ybmuG
I was gonna go with Blood on the Tracks earlier til I remembered the rules were tighter for this game…
Bobby Kennedy: Wild Thing
@chienfou

@ExtraMedium I just came here to post this…!

/youtube Bill Evans-My Foolish Heart
@shahnm
I love this (Bill Evans ) but what is it following?
@Kyeh Chase is Bill Chase.
@mike808 Oh. Thanks.
@Kyeh Apologies for removing Billy Idol - White Wedding.
It was too much of a swerve in the road from tender piano ballad to high-tempo technopop.
@mike808 Okay; I guess it makes this a new start then.
@Kyeh It was more to explain it isn’t really a break in continuity.
Besides, The Fifth Dimension was Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo, so there is the “Billy” connection.
The Fifth Element - Diva Dance
For Bruce Willis.
@mike808 This is pushing it. The connection was a movie title and not the song, but we’ve already shot right past it so I’ll just shut up and listen to this for the millionth time.
/youtube Keith Jarrett - new dance
Dance ~ Waltz; any excuse for more Bill Evans; this might be my favorite of his.
Following @shahnm.
For New Orleans.
Keith Richards - Hurricane
Elliot Smith - Waltz #2 (XO)
@ExtraMedium Following the real timeline in this multiverse…
The Smiths - How soon is now?
Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now
@sicc574 The song didn’t do much for me, but that is a thoroughly kickass video!
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
@ExtraMedium [1]:
/youtube Jimmy Smith - sermon
/youtube the smiths how soon is now
@moonhat Replay. Almost picked this version earlier because it is longer, but preferred the video with the band performing over a fixed photo.
Eric Clapton - Cocaine
@mike808 Took me a second, but I think I get it…
Cream - White Room
@ExtraMedium A great follow-up would be Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but I guess I’m just leaning into my own musical interests at this point.

Starting new thread. The load time is terrible.
Perhaps an eager programmer can optimize not loading or resolving giphy/image tags that are collapsed… just sayin’.
Weird nobody caught that we didn’t put a link to Game 2 until now. Oops!
