Forum Driving Game 4
2(continuation)
From @ExtraMedium
Let 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.
Last entry in the previous topic is the starter for this one:

@chienfou @mossygreen
It’s been noted by the OP (@ExtraMedium) that movies are frowned upon.
@chienfou @mike808 Didn’t mean to screw anything up, just figured Bugsy Malone would get me what I wanted faster than Paul Williams. But it’s a real song, from a soundtrack album I absolutely love.
@mike808 @mossygreen
rather like Annie, above
@chienfou @mike808 Almost exactly, except for the “soundtrack album I absolutely love” part. (Possibly unfair to the Annie poster.)
@mike808 @mossygreen
soundtrack is the relevant part… liking a song is NOT part of the criteria!
Merge…
Gorillaz - Tomorrow comes today
@mike808 @chienfou Rats - I was trying to find this one:

@chienfou
Okay, you’ve stumped me again.
What’s the link?
@chienfou Oh, duh - “soft.” Sorry, I should get some sleep.
@Kyeh
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jimi Hendrix - All along the Watchtower
@mike808
OK, I’ll bite… what’s the commonality? Hairstyle?
@chienfou @mike808 Yeah, I’m not seeing it on this one. I’m going to veto this and say we pick up from Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly. (But I do love Jimi and this track in particular)
@chienfou @ExtraMedium
Robert, aka “Bob” Dylan is the songwriter for “All along the watchtower”. Perhaps y’all have heard of him?
You really should try driving a stick every now and then. Y’all be driving like a grandma - an automatic on cruise control, in the left lane, 10 miles under the speed limit, and with the turn signal on for the last three exits.
@ExtraMedium @mike808
Nope… Robert Dylan… never heard of him.
I did live in the town ROBERT ZIMMERMAN lived in though. Maybe you might want to check your Namenda dosing more often. I think that is approaching a 6 degrees of separation exercise
