Game #163: American Music

[Pastor Fireball]

Wow, I never knew this singer is Canadian:

90. NOBODY'S + 21. SUPPOSED TO + 49. BE HERE = Deborah Cox

This officially takes "Best I Ever Had" out of play.

[Pastor Fireball]

Oh, and here is one of the first pop groups to come out of Canada:

86. MOMENTS + 7. TO REMEMBER = The Four Lads

Not a lot of song titles that contain the plural word "Moments" (from Perry Como's "Magic Moments"), so that one was easy to look up.

[Pastor Fireball]

I also didn't know these guys were from Canada:

85. SOMEBODY'S + 43. OUT THERE = Triumph

They were better known for their 1979 hit "Hold On", but this 1986 song was actually their biggest hit in the States.

[Pastor Fireball]

OK, let's get these talentless pieces of fecal matter out of the way:

70. WHAT DO YOU + 34. MEAN = Justin Bieber

72. FAR + 42. AWAY = Nickelback

[Pastor Fireball]

Two more before I take care of some other business:

120. I DON'T + 5. HURT + 95. ANYMORE = Hank Snow

39. TREAT + 105. YOU BETTER = Shawn Mendes

[Pastor Fireball]

There are 17 songs left, which form 4 pairs and 3 triplets:

11. BAT OUT OF HELL - Meat Loaf
16. LONG AFTER I'M GONE - Big Kenny
26. WHEN I'M NOT NEAR THE GIRL I LOVE - Finian's Rainbow
29. FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN - Randy Travis
31. JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO - Crosby, Stills & Nash
33. ANYONE WHO EVER HAD A HEART - Dionne Warwick
60. THE BEST - Tina Turner
63. LET'S WAIT AWHILE - Janet Jackson
64. BEING WITH YOU - Smokey Robinson
71. DON'T FORGET ABOUT US - Mariah Carey
79. FOR YOU - Dean Martin
81. BALL OF CONFUSION (THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD IS TODAY) - Temptations
84. ALL I EVER NEED IS YOU - Sonny and Cher
93. OUT LAST NIGHT - Kenny Chesney
110. SHAKE ME, WAKE ME (WHEN IT'S OVER) - Four Tops
113. MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS - Willie Nelson
114. ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY - Danny and the Juniors

[Pastor Fireball]

Another group that I didn't know was Canadian:

71. DON'T FORGET + 110. ME WHEN + 16. I'M GONE = Glass Tiger

[PanicinDetroit]

81. WHAT + 71. ABOUT + 26. LOVE = Heart?

[franktangredi]

81. WHAT + 71. ABOUT + 26. LOVE = Heart?

I didn't realize Heart had any Canadian roots, since the Wilson sisters are American. Learned something today!

[mrkelley23]

29. FOREVER AND + 79. FOR + 113. ALWAYS = Shania Twain

[Vandal]

Here are some Canuck artists that I don't believe have been used:

Leonard Cohen
Celine Dion
Avril Levigne
Nelly Furtado
Sarah McLachlan
Drake
Paul Anka
Neil Young
Bruce Cockburn
k d lang
Feist
Tom Cochrane

This is buried, so I thought I should point out that this title has a superfluous word:

33. ANYONE WHO EVER HAD A HEART - Dionne Warwick

That should clear up a problem.

Looks like Drake's Best I Ever Had is back in play, then.

[mellytu74]

81. WHAT THE + 11. HELL = Avril Lavigne

[Pastor Fireball]

Yet another band that I didn't know was Canadian:

26. WHEN I'M + 64. WITH YOU = Sheriff

If all of the matches have been correct so far (I'll assume that 60. BEST + 84. I EVER + 33. HAD is our Drake entry), then we're left with two pairs out of these four songs:

31. JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO - Crosby, Stills & Nash
63. LET'S WAIT AWHILE - Janet Jackson
93. OUT LAST NIGHT - Kenny Chesney
114. ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY - Danny and the Juniors

That is exactly what you have. Good job, all.

[Pastor Fireball]

Wait a minute! I just spotted this one the second after I hit "Submit" on my last post:

114. STAY + 63. AWHILE = The Bells

[Pastor Fireball]

It's the last song I'll ever write for you:

93. LAST + 31. SONG = Edward Bear

Well, that game was a chore and a half. As always, Frank, thanks for the challenge.

I have a new game ready to go after Thanksgiving. It should be our last one of 2016.

Glad you enjoyed it. The Tangredi was tough to spot, but once you had it, it moved.

Looking forward to your next game. I will have one for the new year.
