The idea of this one is that a FM posts two totally random songs leaving a contributor the task of linking the two in as few steps as possible. For example, if I posted:

Penny Lane - The Beatles and
Cut Your Hair - Pavement

you could go:

1) Penny (Widmore) is a character in Lost
2) Her partner in the show is Desmond
3) Desmond's was the name of a hairdressers in the TV show of the same name
4) A barbers is where you go to cut your hair

So you've made a link in four. Then that person leaves another two random songs for somebody else to connect.

So here's the first pairing:

You're The One That I Want - John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John
Smack My Bitch Up - The Prodigy

This is the best that I can do ( honest )

1. You're the one that I want is from the film Grease starring John Travolta .
2. John Travolta's previous film was Saturday Night Fever.

3. The music for SNF was mainly provided by the Bee Gees .
4. Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees was married to Lulu .
5. Lulu recorded Relight my fire with Take That .
6. The original fire was 'ignited' by the Prodigy when they
recorded Firestarter .
7. Firestarter was the first single taken from Fat of the Land album
8. The final single taken from Fat of the Land was Smack my bitch up .

I reckon that's pretty good; not sure Terrence helped with his song choices (well, The Prodigy anyway!)

I think you need to post two more random songs now, though...

Here goes

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

Bohemian Rhapsody

George Geshwin composed Rhapsody in Blue

Blue was a song by Joni Mitchell

Sam Mitchell (Eastenders) spent time in the jailhouse for perverting the course of justice.

Willie Thorne appeared in this song and his cameo line was "Perhaps I ought to chalk it", in reference to his gleaming head
