The Click Super Song Linking Game

[H2IZCOOL]

We played this game quite successfully a couple of times during the Homecoming party last fall. So I thought we'd try it again.

I'm going to paste the rules in from the last time we played:

The Click Super Song Linking Game is based mainly on our most popular Song Linking Game, but has elements of Name That theme also.

Here’s how it goes. Your goal is to compile a list of 10 songs and their artists. The last word of the title of Song #1 is the same word as the first word of the title of song #2, just like in the Song Linking Game. ... and the last word of song #2 is the first word of song #3, etc.

I will give you the FIRST word of the title of song #1 and the LAST word of the title of song #10. I will also give you a bunch of clues about the songs and/or their artists to help you to build your list.

The idea is for all you Clicksters to work TOGETHER to fill out the list. So do your thinking “out loud” within the thread so everyone can see it.

From time to time I’ll add other clues. And if you’re REALLY having a hard time, I may periodically reveal a first and/or last word somewhere in the list.

And all ten songs are bona fide TOP 40 hits from the Billboard “Hot 100” pop charts. (just like in Name That Theme). Songs will have been on the charts from anywhere starting in 1955 and ending in 1994. Sorry guys. No late 90s or 00s.

Some websites that might come in handy are: www.allmusic.com and www.gramble.com/music/top40.html

So ... Here we go!



Heres the opening board:

Song 1. First word is I'm: Middle words: Unknown: Last Word Unknown
Song 2. Unknown
Song 3: Unknown
Song 4 Unknown
Song 5. Unknown
Song 6: Unknown
Song 7 Unknown
Song 8. Unknown
Song 9: Unknown
Song 10. First word Unknown: Middle Words: Unknown: Last word is: By

Here are some clues:

In the list of artists, there is a family group and a group that only hit the charts because of family.

There's a soloist who also made it big as part of a group/band

There's an instrumental that also was recorded with words (but this list hasd the instrumental)

A guy eating a big sandwich was really interested in one of the groups - especially the lead singer.

At least one Canadian group here, and a British soloist.

That oughtta do you for now. Go to it!

[Dawn]

Ok, I'll take a shot at the first song -

I'm Coming Out - Diana Ross? (soloist who also was part of a group)

Nope. Good try.

As you probably noticed, I have fewer clues than I do songs/artists. -- But there is a clue for the first song.

[Jughead]

I'll take a stab at the last one, since it's the only song I know that ends in "By".

Walk On By - DIONNE WARWICK

Walk On By - DIONNE WARWICK

No, Jug. That is also incorrect. That last song also has a clue associated with it, though

[Dawn]

The "By" title has me stumped, too, as like Jug, I was thinking of Walk on By.

Ok, let's try the "I'm" song again - I'm Still Standing, by Elton John? (British soloist)

Nope. That's not it.

[H2IZCOOL]

OK. We need some more clues.

In the ten songs, there are:

Three Male Groups/Bands
Two mixed (male and female) Groups/Bands - One has a woman lead singer, the other has a man
One Instramental Group
One female soloist
Three male soloists

[Dawn]

Ok, how about Music to Watch Girls By - Bob Crewe Generation, for the last one? (Instrumental; also recorded with lyrics by Andy Williams)

And that, Dawn would be correct for the last song!!

Only nine more to go.

Song 1. First word is I'm: Middle words: Unknown: Last Word Unknown
Song 2. Unknown
Song 3: Unknown
Song 4 Unknown
Song 5. Unknown
Song 6: Unknown
Song 7 Unknown
Song 8. Unknown
Song 9: First word Unknown Middle words: Unknown: Last Word Music
Song 10. Music To Watch Girls By

And a couple of more clues.

Remember I mentioned the guy eating the big sandwich? He'd probably like one of the male soloists in the sandwich.

One band/group is (as Groucho Marks would say) something you'd find around the house.

[Pete70s]

The male soloist in the sandwich is probably Meat Loaf (unless there's a male soloist named Spicy Brown Mustard that I've never heard of)

The "I'm" could be "I'm Too Sexy"

Good one, Pete. One of the artists is indeed Spicy Brown Mustard --uh -- I mean Meat Loaf.

I'm too Sexy, however, is incorrect.

But getting back to Meat Loaf:
Now you still have to figure out the song. -- But when you do, I think it will help a lot, as at least one end of the song will provide a good link.

[Pete70s]

The Meat Loaf song could be "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" and the song before it could be "Two Tickets To Paradise" by Eddie Money

You ar Correct on the Meat Loaf Song, Pete

Paradise By theDashboard Light is indeed somewhere on the list. However, you're "Paradise" Link is incorrect.

[Dawn]

Could the previous link be Another Day in Paradise, by Phil Collins? (Solo who was also part of a group)
