For those who don't remember, here are the rules for Name That Theme: I will list three artists (more occasionally). Each artist has recorded a song that contains a common theme with the other two artists.
All songs were in the BILLBOARD TOP 40
Sometimes the theme is in the title; sometimes it is not. For instance, one of the games last season had as three artists:
Paul Simon
Diana Ross and The Supremes
Three Dog Night
The correct theme was: Mothers
The correct songs were:
Mother and Child Reunion
I'm Living In Shame (mother is not in the title , but mamma is repeated many times throughout the song)
Mama Told Me Not To Come.
Sometimes the theme only becomes apparent when all three songs are revealed. For instance, in the first season we used:
Foreigner
Sam Cooke
Eric Clapton.
I mentioned in the initial clue that the songs needed to stay in the same order.
Picking the three correct songs:
Hot Blooded
Chain Gang
Tears in Heaven
.. and realizing that working on a chain gang connotes "Sweat"
The theme is Blood Sweat and Tears.
Anyway..
You get 2 points for the correct theme and one point each for the three correct songs. (Total: 5 points)
If no one gets the answer within 24 hours, I give an additional hint, and the value drops to 4 points. 24 hours later, another clue and another drop to 3 points, etc.
If I have to be off-line for a day or more, those days don't count in the points reduction, and I will try to warn you when I will be away.
In the event of two people with correct answers, earliest time stamp wins.
--amd remember ... first one to 50 wins!
