In my room I want you here
Now we're gonna be face to face
And I'll lay right down in my favorite place


2. I'm gonna try to do
All the things you want me to

Got two good eyes

On the Road Again - Canned Heat


Theme:

I'm probably overthinking this, but I can't find a consistent theme. I see no consistency with regard to drug references, soundtracks, covers, etc. I'm going to go out on a limb and say these are all songs that Fanny has enjoyed while smoking pot.


Krox:

Smoke Two Joints - Sublime

[Lackadaisical Stumblebum]

Could Fanny have chosen a song covered by one of my bands? Almost certainly not, but there's something that seems familar here.

I'm more a fan of The Town Pants, myself......

Serious question: Is that phrase some kind of colloquialism? Like something along the lines of the town pump?

[Lackadaisical Stumblebum]

In other news, I honestly did not try to make this super hard (TWSS). Why would I, when I get high score?

I really thought I was doing a solid by not having anything more recent than 20 years ago (but, then again, I thought turkeys could fly.....), maybe having something more recent would have helped.

I also was going to forego the krox in favour of a bonus song, but that's become sort of a tradition. Well, screw tradition!!!!1

It's not really too tricky, so since I don't think that anybody has stumbled into a krox yet what say I add the bonus song and everybody gets an extra shot at bonus song and/or theme points?

Since Weasel's ramrodding this rodeo, I guess it's up to him. So I'll just PM him the bonus song so he can post it if he sees fit.

On the other hand, I did have about three or four other ideas. Should I check and see if he still needs another game for the month? Ha!

That's funny. This came on the radio yesterday and when it said who the artist was, my girlfriend said, I always thought it was

The Beatles.

It sounds like something they would have done

The Town Pants? I had no idea where the name came from, but I found an answer on Wikipedia.

The Town Pants are a Canadian celtic rock band from Vancouver[1] formed from the remnants of The Van Demons by brothers Dave[2] and Duane Keogh.[3] The band was named for an Irish racehorse that the Keogh brothers bet on one time.

Sounds like an odd name for a racehorse, too.



As for Enter The Haggis, I think that's a stage direction from "MacBeth".

Exit MacDuff. Enter the haggis, stage left.

I think Fanny's in a phone booth changing into a new identity, so she's using a spokesperson in the meantime.

Maybe your girlfriend saw The Magic Christian also. I didn't see it when it was first released, but it was still in the 70s, too much for my aging memory, I guess. My memory told me that Ringo did the acting and the Beatles did the songs. Oh well.

An understandable mistake. Paul McCartney wrote the song and gave it to them. In fact, on "The Beatles Anthology 3" cd, there is a demo of Paul performing it, and it is virtually identical to the Badfinger recording.
