Ok, I've had this game work really well on other forums but it's always gone down like a lead balloon on DS

Fear not though, the time has come to give it one more try.....

The premise is pretty simple, Poster A selects a song.....Poster B then chooses a song that is somehow connected to the first.

The connection can be anything, lyrical, musical, real life collaboration between artists, both connected by a film, whatever theres millions of connections.

Just state the name of the previous tune then >>>>> new tune with an explanation of the connection underneath.

Youtube linkys are always handy to post up as well, though if yer at work and shit it dont matter too much...

So.,,..,.,.,.,.,.,.....random kick off with.............


The Clash - Guns Of Brixton

little red rooster by the rolling stones

key to the highway - little walter

connection:

the stones were named after "rolling stone" a song by muddy waters - the band of whom included Little Walter on harmonica and indeed there were rumours that little walter had toured with the stones in 1964, which were later dismissed by a representative of RS.

(little walter is the only harmonica-player in the rock and roll hall of fame, apparently.)

John Wayne Is Big Leggy - Haysi Fantayzee

What common ground can there possibly be between a 1958 blues record and early 80's bubblegum pop? Why, Little Walter and John Wayne both shared the same first name, Marion

Huh?! I had Spoon's as the last post then when I typed in a new one Shakey appeared

Let's try again...

Stuck On You - Elvis Presley (should've been called Stuck On Loo *tee hee hee*)

How long Elvis would have spent there if his corpse hadn't been discovered until 2007.
