Hey guys! The Third Season of Name That Theme starts later today: Monday Feb 6, 2006.
For those of you who don't know the rules or don't remember them here they are:
Name That Theme Rules:
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 previous games 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:
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.
Oh, and one other thing. When someone wins a round, the next round starts THE NEXT DAY. -- But the time of day for starting rounds varies randomly so that there is no advantage for people who happen to be on line every day at a particular time. It can even start at midnight. All times are eastern.
--amd remember ... first one to 50 points wins!
See you later today with the first game
