  • 3-way Mash-up (see spoiler for definition).
    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and the Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender
    I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs. Good luck and no wagering...

    1. Bruce Springsteen
    2. Bryan Adams
    3. Jewel

    The band popped into my head on my drive home, but not the song. With a little research....

    Scorpions -- No One Like You

    That little guy swinging a golf club in my pic just turned 16 yesterday. Wow, it seems to go fast sometimes.

    Yes- my zodiac sign, thank you very much!
    Yes- I thought that song was more popular, but maybe it just gets a lot of airplay in my hometown :|
    And yes, it most certainly does. My oldest turned 25 two days ago. Where does the time go?? :'(

    That's a catchy tune. I didn't realize it was a remake.

    Both renditions (Strangeloves and Bow Wow Wow) remind me of the old Johnny Otis song "Willie and the Hand Jive" with the classic Bo Diddley beat

    She Blinded Me With Science/Thomas Dolby?

    I don't believe it!
    There she goes again!
    She's tidied up and I can't find anything!

    Ok, here's one that I thought of when I solved the above song. The song clue below could have been said by the female character in the previous song.
    And as always, good luck and no wagering...

    What a confident, self-assured female might say to the opposite gender/Diane and Carla

    I'm thinking Wings, but a few songs may fit.

    Wings -- Let 'Em In?

    NOPE!
    But interestingly enough I can see Wings' Get Back fitting in for the song (but not the artist)

    Try again!

    The Finger??
    But as I've never heard of the artist, I have no clue as to the song.

    Good song!

    I was thinking anatomy of birds and thought maybe flipping was a typo for flapping.

    I never really thought about it, but the "bad" finger reference never occurred to me until a few years ago. Duh.
