Game #193: Rainy Day Women

[jarnon]

Unlike the last one, this one was found unusually quickly. Some of the suggested matches don't work according to the rules, and I tried to be very strict myself about "opposites." For example, dog and cat aren't really opposites, though they are often placed in opposition to one another.

This probably does in my Small Town match, because I realized later that big's opposite is actually little, so I need a Large band and we don't have one (yet)...

Too bad, because matching song #35 with itself would be clever. And I won't look for Venus (Bruno Mars).

I dunno, I think big and small are pretty good opposites. I think Frank was being more demonstrative, since the dog/cat example was actually used in one of jarnon's partials, as well as another that didn't follow the rules of the game (the opposite word has to be in the artist's name, so using Big for O Little Town is outside the rules of the game.)

Also, I didn't realize until now that esto gave me the match I had been looking for, but I didn't realize it because of the popular abbreviation for the band's name:

14. Electric LIGHT orchestra (Dark) + 84. Sentimental LADY = Dark Lady, by 64. Cher.

[T_Bone0806]

31. Now you'll be my girl,
That's what I want,
Just you sweet girl
And not a front.

JUST LIKE ME-PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS

[franktangredi]

That's right. Big and small are very legitimate oppostites.

[Earl the Squirrel]

And just to emphasize what I alluded to in my first pass, the fact that these two songs...


12. Baby, seems we never ever agree.
You like the movies
And I like TV.
OPPOSITES ATTRACT - PAULA ABDUL


35. And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land.
BLACK AND WHITE - THREE DOG NIGHT


Are in a game titled "Rainy Day Women" is either somehow significant or an intentional red herring. I strongly suspect opposites somehow factor into the theme of this game...

lb13

Okay, how does Rainy Day Women #12 and 35.......okay, never mind, I just answered my own question.

I was trying to figure out if #12 and 35 was left off because it was supposed to be Rainy Day Woman by Waylon Jennings. Very clever, Frank!

Meanwhile, this would work for a triple, right?

68. I don't like a thing about your mother,
And I hate your daddy's guts, too,
I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
'Cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated, too.

I Hate Everything about You - Ugly Kid Joe

Love, Nothing and Pretty

And, I forgot to do the quote, but the Molly song is by Future. Can't remember the title, but Future and Living in the Past (Jethro Tull is on here with Aqualung) would work, right?

[jarnon]

New consolidation…

Identify the 100 songs below. Then, match them into 40 trios according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

1. Boys DON'T (Do) Cry + 77. There I've Said IT AGAIN = Do It Again by 48. Steely Dan

[franktangredi]

One match on the most recent consolidation is questionable because I don't think the 'opposite' is really legit. Otherwise, this is going great!

Some of the incomplete identifications will need to be completed.

I assume that means all the complete song titles and artists are right, so I'll go back and delete their lyrics.

My guess would be the Jewel match, since it's the only pair of opposites so far that is a bit sketchy...

I was thinking the same thing. I kept looking for a DIAMOND, since that would make a better opposite for Rhinestone, and I really wanted rhinestone cowboy. But since you found the Boys Don't Cry match, maybe we don't need it.

73. .38 SPECIAL (Ordinary) + 60. PEOPLE Get Ready = Ordinary People by 13. John Legend

I would bet a lot of money that Boys Don't Cry is also here for Boys/Girls (Was looking for California until you found the Beach Boys match)... which is why I figured there's no way it was here for its title since the only three-use song is here for all three capacities. No, I'm an idiot. Multiple "Boys" artists... including (Duh) the Beach Boys!

Not to mention it could be one of the five that's used twice in the same capacity. It remains to be seen whether that's the same opposite word used in two different song titles, or whether it means one group has two different opposites in its name. Like ODB could be Clean, or New, or Young, or Legitimate.

[Estonut]

Also, I didn't realize until now that esto gave me the match I had been looking for, but I didn't realize it because of the popular abbreviation for the band's name:

14. Electric LIGHT orchestra (Dark) + 84. Sentimental LADY = Dark Lady, by 64. Cher.

I thought about that and had intended to write the name in full for that reason. By the time I got through the unfinished list and started typing a reply, I had forgotten about that and switched to LS mode. Sorry about that!

[mrkelley23]

21. EVERYTHING IS awesome + 68. UGLY Kid Joe (Beautiful) = Everything is Beautiful, by 58. Ray Stevens.

I really want someone to identify a group with the word Take in its name, so we can get Give A Little Bit for Supertramp.

Also a group with "ON" in its name, so we can get it Shake it Off for TSwift.

[Estonut]

Robbie Williams was in a band named "Take That," but I don't know any of their songs.

Fight the Power - Public Enemy

Damn it, now I wish I hadn't erased those other answers.....

Thoughts:

Public Enemy could go with Private Eyes (I recall seeing Maneater on the list)

What's Luv could go with I Hate Everything about you (hey, I got both parts on that one!)

Back for Good would go nicely with a Bad song. Was there a Grand Funk song on the list?

Sean Kingston did Beautiful Girls which could go with Ugly Kid Joe
