Driving Game (Part 6)
4Basic Rules: Follow the posted music video with a different song, band, or musician tied directly to the previous post.
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 to talk about the comment’s connection or validity.
You can veto if you don’t agree that there’s a connection. In that case, you can post your own connection to the previous song or @ the person you’re vetoing and tell them they need to make the connection clear or replace it. No hard feelings, either way, we’re just having fun sharing music. Note: If someone has already made a new connection to the song you want to veto, you missed your chance and the song stands. You can still let the person know where you found the problem and maybe they can clear things up.

/youtube Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut
Jimi Hendrix - The Catfish Blues
@ExtraMedium Jimi Hendrix Blues was the last cassette tape I ever owned. It lived in my car’s tape deck for over a year and got tons of playtime but was left behind when I was in an accident and totaled the card.
@ExtraMedium Very nice

Sheb Wooley - Hello Walls
/youtube the kinds lazy old sun
Deep Purple - Lazy
Tears For Fears - Mad World
Hard not to pick Everybody Wants To Rule The World, but both are great tracks and I like that Mad World reminds me of Donny Darko.
Not part of the connection but I have to share this…these guys haven’t lost a bit of what made them amazing:
@ExtraMedium They still sound fantastic! Love that song.
The White Stripes- Seven Nation Army

New thread started because this one isn’t loading right for me anymore. Part 7 here.
@Kyeh Very wise, it was taking FOREVER and I wasn’t sure if it was the site or my very old computer.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane
@januarymick okay, okay…“aeroplane” not quite “airplane” but close enough, right?
@januarymick The connection is there.
@ExtraMedium @januarymick Spelling is just an artificial construct
PUP - Sleep in the Heat
@metaphore Dope, that’s Finn! Good stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this before.
@metaphore Here’s a fun video only connection (so I won’t make it the posted connection:
@ExtraMedium PUP has Finn is a few of their videos, and they are all great
Martha & The Vandellas ~ Heat Wave
/youtube james white and blacks heatwave
Etta James - Stormy Weather
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Couldn’t Stand the Weather
/youtube marianne faithfull strange weather
Sheena Easton - Sugar Walls
Sorry, forgot the PMRC’s warning.
This song was on the PMRC’s “Filthy Fifteen” list for sexual content.
Sugar Ray - When it’s Over
/youtube blood sugar sex magik
Heart - Magic Man
/youtube t rex by the light of a magical moon
Ugh, fine.
Moon River
Or if that’s invalid for being a movie clip:
@Kyeh If you noted it was Audrey Hepburn as the performer/artist, that Youtube (or the posting account) calls it a clip doesn’t matter. It’s a song from a musical that has a title and and artist performing the song. That’s why I labeled my entry for the Nirvana song as just that - a Nirvana song and its proper title, that was used as the theme song for a movie, and it was the movie title and subject matter where that song was used that was relevant/related to the prior entry. Like the McCartney’s “Live and Let Die” being eponymous with a James Bond movie.
I would accept a connection between a James Bond file theme song and the White Stripes - Seven Nation Army, for example (“007” => “Seven Nation Army” if you don’t get it). If someone were to do that. Hypothetically, of course.
@mike808 Well, I tried Mancini first, but the instrumental-only version was too dull.
Luckily @mossygreen was less particular, so we’re just moving on, I guess.

R.E.M. - Find the River
@januarymick my favorite R.E.M. song
