_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 the word HOLD and TIGHT ? through the night?...lol just a guess
OLD 55 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Hi Laurie. Sorry, that's not it, although it IS to do with the lyrics of each song.
Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 indian runner , do i get to do one now? You got it Laurie. "The Indian Runner" was based on Bruce Springsteen's song, Highway Patrolman.
Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 OK, what's the common thread with these 3 songs? Denis/ Blondie Hold On Tight/ E.L.O. Michelle/ Beatles My guess is: They all have lyrics that are sung in English and a foreign language.
OLD 55 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 [My guess is: They all have lyrics that are sung in English and a foreign language. And a very good guess! Each has a combination of English and French. SORRY I didn't answer sooner. I've stalled the game.
Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 That's ok, Old55. I was outside having a smoke anyways. Here's my Common Link question: What do these 3 bands have in common: Cinderella Poison The Buoys Since the first 2 bands were extremely popular and you will recognize them, I'll give you some info on the 3rd group for anyone that hasn't heard of them. The Buoys were the group that recorded the Top 20 US hit "Timothy" in 1971. (#17 on the US Billboard chart) There is an interesting SongFacts page about the song. Read it here: Timothy

Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Good morning, everybody! Pls, why don´t you post the questions for which I DO have the answer at a time I´m awake?? I´ll have to move to Australia or California... :happybanana: :happybanana: Or just don't sleep so much Edna and stay on the computer until you doze off and hit your head on the keyboard like I do.
edna Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Or just don't sleep so much Edna and stay on the computer until you doze off and hit your head on the keyboard like I do. Oh, I just sleep five hours or so...! But I´m a housewife...!
_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 ummm they all have songs about flesh, blood, cannibalism? timothy blood from a stone letter from death row?.....did i get one right?
Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Oh, I just sleep five hours or so...! But I´m a housewife...! I'm single, and my daughter's never here, so I get to stay on as long as I want. I even have my food delivered so I don't have to leave this wonderful site. I'm still wide awake and I've been up for about... :sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy:
Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 ummm they all have songs about flesh, blood, cannibalism? timothy blood from a stone letter from death row?.....did i get one right? Not the answer, Laurie. Although Timothy is about cannibalism, and Letter From Death Row mentions Hannibal Lector, Flesh and Blood does not. And vice versa about the blood and flesh. The answer Is not about songs from these groups, it is a common link about the group themselves.
_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 ok im gonna take another shot at this, ummm the groups are all from pennsylvania?
Brad_M Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Way To Go, Laurie! They all hail from PA Home of yours truly and MiamiSammy. I'm surprised he didn't get that one. But he was prolly out all night and they don't have internet access at The Staircase.
_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 yeah!....well brad i just got done working a double shift so now i can sleep ok i have one, probably easy for all you pros phil spector alan freed les paul
edna Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Could it be they were all "inventors"? Les Paul made THE guitar, Alan Freed somehow created the word "rock and roll" and Phil Spector build up a new sound... I see Les Paul never was to blame, so that wouldn´t be what they have in common...
Karhul Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 They're all red in some way?. 1. Sleep. 2. Eating. 3. Walking.
_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Could it be they were all "inventors"? Les Paul made THE guitar, Alan Freed somehow created the word "rock and roll" and Phil Spector build up a new sound... I see Les Paul never was to blame, so that wouldn´t be what they have in common... that's a good connection edna but not what i was looking for...HINT: Clevend Ohio
Karhul Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 What? I'm talking about colour, but I was wrong
edna Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 So if I understand... they are all from Cleveland, Ohio?
_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 So if I understand... they are all from Cleveland, Ohio? something that's in cleveland that links these guys together :guitar:
OLD 55 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 The Buoys, Brad? That was in very POOR TASTE. Hmmm! Alan Freed was a good "smokescreen" Laurie, because the first thing you think of regarding him and Cleveland is his "Moondog" R & B Radio Shows when he was a DJ there for about 5 years. But on your last clue, it must be that they're all in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? Alan Freed (1986, Non-Performer), Les Paul (1988, Early Influence), and Phil Spector (1989, Non-Performer). :guitar: WHAT do these Songs have SPECIFICALLY in common? It's to do with Lyrics and Language. She Loves You/ The Beatles Mama/ Roy Orbison In My Room/ The Beach Boys If you know it, PLEASE do go into "Old 55's Ongoing Music Knowledge Quiz" and answer it there too. It's been up there all day and nobody can get it ! ::
_Laurie_ Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 YOU NAILED IT OLD 55 that was exactly what i was looking for....
Jenny Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 WHAT do these Songs have SPECIFICALLY in common? It's to do with Lyrics and Language. She Loves You/ The Beatles Mama/ Roy Orbison In My Room/ The Beach Boys Is it that the title is repeated twice in the chorus? I don't know and couldn't find the lyrics to "Mama", but at least that's what the other two have in common
