KillerTomato · #1 Post by **KillerTomato** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 5:25 am

Yesterday's game will remain open until Noon Eastern, as usual, but today's game will be open until FRIDAY at noon, for reasons to be explained in a moment.

Today's game is the last Match-'Em-Up of this cycle. I'll say this much: it's a little tougher than the others, and as a result, I'm giving you an extra day to mull it over before posting your answers. As a hint, I'll tell you that if you trot out an obscure cover for a song rather than the most popular (and I THINK the original, but I've been wrong about that before *cough*otis redding "hard to handle"*cough*), you could be SOL.

So, give me the title and artist for the songs below, then put them together to make FIVE TRIPLETS based on a connection that you will need to discover for yourself. One point for the artist, one for the title, and TWO points for each triplet you come up with.

1. They knew all the right people
They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties
They paid heavenly bills

2. Baby I got your number
And I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you
I called too many times
You can call me baby
You can call me anytime

3. We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands

4. The real thing don't do the trick, no
You better think up something quick
You're gonna burn burn burn burn burn it to the wick

5. Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
Ten years burnin' down the road
No where to run, ain't got nowhere to go

6. Ooh, ooh, you might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya, it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even a Indian Chief

7. (SONG TITLE) don't bother to choose
If it's jug-band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen, it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try

8. Einstein, James Dean
Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan
Elvis Presley, Disneyland

9. You stand in the front, just a-shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about somethin' you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road, an' I'll be eatin' from your hand

10. I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

11. Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman so alone
So alone, so alone, so alone
Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo risin'

12. You are the tear, I have no fear
You are so strange, I feel the same
Sorcerous mind, we ride again
We are not chained to the wheel, to the wheel

13. Well, it may come as a surprise
Loneliness has opened my eyes
I tried every love I could find
Still, I can't get you out of my mind

14. Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known

15. Color me your color, baby
Color me your car
Color me you color, darling
I know who you are

Call Me - Blondie

OK, I am usually terrible at figuring out themes like this in other people's games, but I think I may have this one since it kinda riffs off a theme I used in my last LS....

The first one I discovered was the odd coincidence that Life in the Fast Lane was immediately followed by Tracy Chapman, best known for Fast Car. Then of course, I noticed Car Wash, so I'm guessing the theme is probably different parts of 2 word songs and the artist who did that song. With the 12 songs I got, I was able to pieve together two more, so here's what i got....

1-2-6 Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
4-7-10 Magic Man - Heart
5-14-15 Cover Me - Bruce Springsteen

Guessing on the other two triplets....

3-9-12
8-11-13

Spoiler

Lets say a bunch of these singers have been on the cover of the Rolling Stone;

Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands

Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benatar

4. The real thing don't do the trick, no
You better think up something quick
You're gonna burn burn burn burn burn it to the wick

Barracuda - Heart

5. Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
Ten years burnin' down the road
No where to run, ain't got nowhere to go

Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen

6. Ooh, ooh, you might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya, it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even a Indian Chief

Car Wash - Rose Royce

7. (SONG TITLE) don't bother to choose
If it's jug-band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen, it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try

Do You Believe in Magic - Lovin' Spoonful

8. Einstein, James Dean
Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan
Elvis Presley, Disneyland

We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel

9. You stand in the front, just a-shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about somethin' you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road, an' I'll be eatin' from your hand

Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith

10. I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

Rocket Man - Elton John

11. Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman so alone
So alone, so alone, so alone
Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo risin'

LA Woman - The Doors

12. You are the tear, I have no fear
You are so strange, I feel the same
Sorcerous mind, we ride again
We are not chained to the wheel, to the wheel

Look at us! We're Dark and tortured! - The Cult

13. Well, it may come as a surprise
Loneliness has opened my eyes
I tried every love I could find
Still, I can't get you out of my mind

Hopefully Something By - Anita Baker

14. Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known

15. Color me your color, baby
Color me your car
Color me you color, darling
I know who you are

Call Me - Blondie

This same trick was on a previous LS (or GC game) and Magic Man by Heart was the one that broke it for me there, too! Since you'd already used Rocket Man, I knew it had to be the song and not Elton John. It still took me a while to put it together, because I was trying to get Rapture of Love out of Rapture with Blondie so I didn't have a ME other than Tracy Chapman. Ha! So, I totally backed into Anita Baker for the wrong reasons. Maybe, since I'm not sure that one is right (or that The Cult did Fire Woman.

Fast + Car = Tracy Chapman
Magic + Man = Heart
Cover + Me = Bruce Springsteen
Fire + Woman = The Cult
Sweet + Love = Anita Baker

Triples (or what I can do of them....)

1. Fast + 6. Car = Tracy Chapman
14. Cover + 15. Me = Bruce Springsteen
9. Sweet + Love = Anita Baker

I am betting one of the ones I don't know is a Heart song because we can get Magic + Man.
