65. The pale moon was rising above the green mountain,
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea,
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain.

ROSE OF TRALEE

I think we've gotten the answer to the Elton John duplicate.

65. THE ROSE of Tralee + 17. FRIENDS of Distinction = BETTE MIDLER

74. I want you happy, I want the best for you,
And if you have to leave to find your dream,
I hope that dream comes true.
But if the world you find brings you hard times,
If someone makes you cry,
I'll be there to hold you, I'll be standing by.

THE ARMS OF THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU - Xscape

give us

74. The Arms of the One WHO LOVES YOU + 43. RONNIE Milsap = THE FOUR SEASONS

51. She Bangs -- Ricky Martin

67. Stars are Blind -- Paris Hilton

72. Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) -- Jay-Z

75. Too Hot Ta Trot -- Commodores

77. Unskinny Bop -- Poison

85. Do Anything -- Natural Selection

51. gives us another Weird Al song and 75. Gives us another Kool and the Gang song.

77. Unskinny Bop -- Poison

It's 2:30 a.m. in the East.

And I have this burning question.

Could this be here for Bop by Dan Seals?

What made me think this is ... If Frank just wanted Poison as the artist, there are other Poison songs.

There are other Poison songs, but they might have had duplicate words in the title that might have confused the issue.

But, it gives us a second Alice Cooper song.

77. POISON + 45. YOU AND ME = Alice Cooper

49. CAUGHT UP IN THE RAPTURE -- ANITA BAKER

25. FAT Bottomed Girls + 51. RICKY Martin = Weird Al Yankovic

11. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the FRESH Prince + 75. TOO HOT ta Trot = Kool & the Gang

59. SURVIVOR + 15. The GIRL from Ipanema = Destiny's Child

For anyone keeping their own consolidation, I took out the Beatles match temporarily at least. Frank tends to do these games based on a song's performance on the Billboard charts, and "Boys" never charted for the Beatles. Destiny's Child had a hit with "Girl."

27. The LONELY Island + 71. It DON’T MATTER = Akon

30. The CLOSER I Get to You + either 99. Guns n ROSES or 67. PARIS Hilton = Chainsmokers

How about that, to get this far in a puzzle and still have alternate possibilities?

Both Roses and Paris were top ten hits for them.

38. Men at WORK + 72. HARD Knock Life = Rihanna

No matter how hard I try....

(But you've done very well working those out without my help.)

Plus, I told you NOT to look for a Beatles match! Their catalogue is too damn big, and almost all the songs are familiar enough to include.

I wasn't sure if that meant matches, or was a clue for how the Tangredi worked, so I still considered it a possibility.

12. I’m a BELIEVER + 85. NATURAL Selection = Imagine Dragons

49. CAUGHT UP in the Rapture + 64. CLIMAX Blues Band = Usher

Nearly final consolidation…

Identify the 100 songs below. Then, match them into 55 pairs according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Ten of the songs will be used twice, each time in a different capacity.

Parenthetical parts of titles may count; guest or featured artists do not. And don’t look for the Beatles.
