_Laurie_ Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Laurie: I have to see... I´ll look for it... Old55: yes.

Life goes on, bra... valenti...was imprisoned for a drug charge...but i dont know for what...
edna Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 valenti...was imprisoned for a drug charge...but i dont know for what... "Drug charge", yes, that´s all I know... guess it s enough! I still can´t find any common link to yours, laurie...
_Laurie_ Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 has to do with a certain song from each artist
_Laurie_ Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 john sebastian/song about a teacher perry como/song title is a city in north west johnny rivers/and the ventures both did this song ok find those songs, and i think you can make the connection
OLD 55 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Hi Laurie. I was just on my way to bed when you put this question on (last night our time). It's a shame no one else had a go at it, but they are Oldies! They're all themes from TV shows. John Sebastian "Welcome Back Kotter" with Gabe Kaplin and John Travolta. Johnny Rivers "Secret Agent Man" - "Secret Agent" ("Danger Man" here in Australia) with Patrick McGoohan. Perry Como "Seattle" - "Here Come The Brides" with Bobby Sherman (from the GREAT music show "Shindig").
_Laurie_ Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 YOU GOT IT, AND YOU GOT ALL OF IT!!!good job ok your turn, hope i get it, coz i have another good one to ask sometime....
OLD 55 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 These Artists all had Hit songs in the 1980s with something in common! Phil Collins Stevie Wonder Frankie Goes To Hollywood Thanks Laurie. Sorry I didn't put a question on earlier. I've just been teasing (I meant to say, playing with) Alyssa, my Grandaughter!
_Laurie_ Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 ok i know that phil collins against all odds was in a movie stevie wonder..just called to say i love you...woman in red and relax by frankie....would that be zoolander or body double?.....let me know
OLD 55 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Excellent Post Laurie! That was "Body Double"/ "Relax" for FGTH. I'm only going to use known Hit Singles in any of my Questions - NOT album tracks. "Stairway To Heaven" I'd make an exception for. See you later. We're off for a picnic!
_Laurie_ Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 ok....have fun on your picnic!! simon and garfunkle meatloaf joe walsh these artist each have a song with a certain sport in common. name the sport and the songs....
OLD 55 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 BASEBALL simon and garfunkel/ Mrs. Robinson (Joe DiMaggio) meatloaf/ Paradise By The Dashboard Light (Radio Broadcast of game) joe walsh....Don't know....not a fan of his (solo)...unless it's "Time Out", an expression in baseball and a number of other sports. Somebody fill it in if you know please, and then it's your turn! " That's it, I quit - I'm movin' on "
_Laurie_ Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 time out would be a good guess, but not what i was thinking of....it is a popular song though. you're right on the other two!!! joe walsh is still up for grabs!
bazooka Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Joe Walsh: "Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat Playin' it play by play Time to change the batter" ... from Rocky Mountain Way
bazooka Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 [*] Lola, Out of Control-a [*] Little G.B. [*] Kim and Keith Where will you find these folks?
_Laurie_ Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 well the only kim and keith i know is kim and keith moon...i think his wife lived in africa? lola? well there's lola from the kinks? or i googled lola, and it came up with a chimpanzee from spain...lol.. little GB? no idea...guess i'll have to do more research
bazooka Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 These are all characters up to the same thing. I can add [*] Jimmy and Jojo
OLD 55 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 Yes, they're all mentioned in ZZ Top's song "Lowdown In The Street", from the album "Dequelo". That wasn't a bad album, but I'd be willing to bet that not a lot here have heard of the album OR the song. "Jimmy And JoJo" gave it to me. I was thinking of "Lola" / The Kinks. Sorry, but I think that IF we keep putting obscure album tracks in questions, this Thread is going to DIE. GOTTA GO - I PASS TO EDNA.
edna Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 -Modern Lovers -Creedence Clearwater Revisited -Suicide There´s a common link for these three bands, and that´s another band... members of ???band had/have to deal with bands above.
bazooka Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 OLD 55, Sorry. One man's obscure is another's required listening. Neil Sedaka's Alice in Wonderland wasn't on the tip of most tongues. Joe Walsh, however, is a staple of classic rock stations here in the Land Up Over. Maybe I've played Deguello* too often, but I purposely didn't lead off with "Jimmy and Jojo" because that phrase immediately makes me think of ZZ Top. "Lola (Out of Control-a)" was designed to throw folks off, to keep a measure of challenge. But anyway, I resolve to be simpler if I'm at bat again. Have a nice link! -------------------------------- * Deguello is much better than "not bad" (Fool For Your Stockings, I Thank You, HiFi Mama, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide, Cheap Sunglasses, etc.)
OLD 55 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Sorry Mate. I apologise; one man's meat is another man's poison. I think I'm just becoming a Cranky Old Bugger. When I made that post, I'd been trying to get into the site for ages. Some of the questions I've asked at times have been a bit over the top, I'm sure - but I try to make them a bit more "gettable" now.! ZZ Top got a lot more airplay than Joe Walsh. My favorite song from that album - and I don't know all of the tracks - is "Cheap Sunglasses". Joe Walsh was never really popular solo here - only when he was an Eagle. Katie can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if he had to rely on us for an income he'd have gone broke. Funny, Neil Sedaka was very big down here. He even recorded a song for "Australia Only" which he said was "to thank us" for taking his "Star Crossed Lovers" to #1 for 7 weeks in 1969. The song was "Wheeling, West Virginia" which was top 10 here in 1970. I don't think either of those were Hits anywhere else in the WORLD.
OLD 55 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 -Modern Lovers -Creedence Clearwater Revisited (Revival ?) -Suicide Edna sweetie, I'll have to pass. I've never heard of "Modern Lovers", and "Suicide" are rappers I think. HELP bazooka.
edna Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 There´s three members of a five member band who plays/played/produced with/some other band... that makes the three bands listed. Google a little... the band is American, formed in 1976 in Massachussets.
bazooka Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 That must be The Cars. Elliot Easton, formerly of The Cars, plays lead guitar with Creedence Clearwater Revisited. David Robinson, also of The Cars, drums & vocals with Modern Lovers. And Ric Ocasek produced Suicide's second album (1980).
