Son of FUN WITH EMOJIS - Just the unsolved ones

Depeche Mode

@medz Nope. This is probably a pretty obscure indie band. Maybe. I have one of their albums, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it… Curious though - how did you get Depeche Mode from that?

@shahnm just a guess

@shahnm I thought American love story might have been a band, but I googled it and they are maybe like a local band somewhere. Now that you say they are obscure, maybe that’s what it is.

@djslack @shahnm I had that same thought, but wasn’t able to find any band with a name close to that.

@djslack I’m not sure how I ended up with one of their albums. Must have been one from my emusic days. I have a ton of indie stuff… But yes - American Love Story it is.

@shahnm

@mike808 I see why you went there. I’m thinking far more contemporary… Think of the second emoji as tools of the trade…

He’s not out of the fire

@metaphore Alexisonfire?

@shahnm not what I was going for, but I guess it’s an answer.

@shahnm the guy in the middle is in the shower? no?

@moonhat @shahnm Not specifically supposed to be in a shower, just a guy and his relation to the fire.(Trying hard to not use any of the words from the band name when giving clues)

@metaphore @shahnm flaming lips?

@metaphore the birthday massacre

@Ignorant I’m glad someone got this one. I had no idea for a hint.

@shahnm Ladybaby?

@Ignorant The second emoji is more about the sound it might make…

@shahnm ahh lady gaga

@shahnm
/youtube Madonna

@shahnm Mad on A - I like it! (kinda mad I didn’t figure it out)

@DennisG2014 It was a stretch…

@shahnm
/youtube Moby

@djslack @shahnm D’oh! Of course!

@shahnm Japan.

Mick Karn on bass.

@mike808 That’s another great answer, but still not the one I originally intended. Maybe I need to just change my original intention…

@shahnm clearly your original intention was wrong.

@shahnm - @Ignorant is correct. Its clearly Japan, after a fashion.

(Star me if you get the reference).

@Ignorant Yep. I was going for Simply Red, but that was when I was young and naive and had no idea that all this emoji sharing was going on among different bands…

@shahnm walk the moon

@shahnm the walkers?

@Ignorant Nope.

@shahnm How about Men without Hats?

@jksquared Could be, but not what I had intended…

@jksquared Here’s what I would do for Men Without Hats:

@shahnm Simon & Garfunkle?

@therealjrn
/image participation trophy

@shahnm white lion

@RiotDemon Ok… WTH is this?!?

@shahnm I had a feeling this would be hard.

/youtube Moonspell alpha noir

@RiotDemon

i thought about doing this band but didn’t think anyone would know them

@shahnm I just figured this one out… I wonder if the supersized emojis made it more clear. I’ll refrain from answering for now in case someone else wants to take a shot at it.

@shahnm All right - guess it’s time to answer…

Bow Wow Wow…

@shahnm

@shahnm He’s giving us good vibrations…

@shahnm wow.

@shahnm another bad creation

@Ignorant @shahnm

@shahnm All Beatboxes Compilation…

@shahnm midnight oil

@shahnm
/youtube a perfect circle

@shahnm @mike808 Can’t believe you got the Anthrax one and no one has gotten this one yet!

What is a mermaid, unicorn, pixie, bigfoot, Donald Trump’s high IQ, etc., etc…
I think once you get that word, and work the puzzle aspect, it should be easy.

@shahnm @mike808 @metaphore Ok, since this thread seems to have run its course…
The word is MYTH - mermaids, unicorns, pixies, etc. - all myths.

ARROWS + MYTH…

No one getting this one has made me salty…

@DennisG2014 So, I got the Myth part but the arrows were giving me trouble, I kept thinking direction or up. I also was trying to think of something with Myth in the name not that myth was part of another word. Now that I know the answer it seems super obvious and I feel bad I didn’t get it.

@shahnm Anthrax

@mike808 @shahnm Nice - didn’t think anyone would get that one without hints.

@shahnm Mike & the Mechanics

@mike808 I was actually thinking about that imagery for the first one. Too easy

@mike808 the allman brothers?

@mike808 @moonhat Play Freebird!

Hint: It’s not the band name, but it is the band in the emoji.

@mike808 did they cross the road to buy shoes for one of them and now they are crossing back?

@mike808 _____Is this an expanded version of the same thing I did above? ()

@mike808 is it the Beatles Abbey road album cover?

@msklzannie For Crown and Country? Is that a band?

@shahnm close… for King and Country (couldn’t find the king emoji)

@moonhat temple of the dog

@moonhat candlebox

@Ignorant blind melon?

@moonhat not what I was going for.

@Ignorant Agent Orange?

@RiotDemon

@moonhat The Mamas & the Papas

@moonhat That’s not a band!
It’s a baseball game.

@mike808 the mamas and the papas is a baseball game?

@moonhat 9 vs 9. Play ball!

@moonhat bb king

@moonhat hint: think of other words for poop…

@moonhat Nice one. Bonus for the double-nested reference.

@mike808 @moonhat Someone’s going to have to explain this one to me… (please)

@DennisG2014 @moonhat
Poop = coil. Man+coil. This Mortal Coil.
The double reference is the nod to the band members were also the band “The Cocteau Twins”, and the emoji are doubled, as twins.

@DennisG2014 @mike808 no, that’s not what I was thinking but nice!

@DennisG2014 @mike808 @moonhat Deeeep maaan…

@moonhat Duran Duran?

@jbartus yes!

@shahnm Crowded House

@DennisG2014 Too Easy.

@DennisG2014 @mike808 so who is that

@mike808 Ok, then get this one:

Hint: instead of a mermaid, I could’ve used a unicorn, a pixie, big foot, nessie, etc. etc.

And it’s a very popular band.

@RiotDemon Fear Factory

@shahnm
/youtube fear factory control

@RiotDemon not sure if this is the same answer as this one

https://meh.com/forum/topics/son-of-fun-with-emojis---just-the-unsolved-ones#5aea65e13ccd7b099413d59a

@Ignorant totally missed that one!

@RiotDemon I’d bet that you’d be able to answer it.

@Ignorant I’ll let people keep guessing.

I have to laugh when the Emojis look totally different from what they do in the keyboard picker. It’s a surprise every time.

Let’s try this version of the same thing.

@RiotDemon I dunno. Shower Cookie sounds like a great band name…

@RiotDemon acid bath?

@Ignorant

@metaphore korn

@Ignorant I was surprised this hadn’t already been posted.

That looks terrible… I guess I could use this instead

@djslack Blues Traveler?

@shahnm Yeah.

I couldn’t believe there’s not an emoji of someone with a suitcase. There’s practically everything else out there.

@metaphore Skillet

ETA: I almost posted this one earlier

@msklzannie was such an easy one I couldn’t not post it.

@metaphore

Image uploader is acting up. Apparently it doesn’t want iStuff to be the only things that post sideways.

It’s odd… open in new tab actually gets the picture right side up.

@msklzannie looks right side up on my iThing
