    No. Sorry. It's a much earlier song

    A give it away hint: the last word of your name is in this song's album title.

    I didn't think it was that obscure. Or, I'm just that old.

    Probably my favorite Aerosmith album. And certainly one of my favorite songs of theirs.

    Cheaters prosper. You're up.

    I didn't think it was that off the wall. This came after their debut hit "Dream On", and before their albums "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks", which solidified their career (IMO).

    When I think of Aerosmith I think of Toys In The Attic. Sometimes it's very specific for me. A song comes on the radio and it takes me back to the Otterville blacktop in 1979, riding with my brother in his 1975 Trans Am.

    And I remember my brother's 8-track of Toys in the Attic :)

    I think I got the theme and only know the first 3 songs. Phone a friend for 4 and 5?
    1. Do You Believe In Magic?
    2. This Magic Moment
    3. Could It Be Magic?
    Theme - Magic
  • debbiemuz
    debbiemuz Posts: 194 Member
    Yep, 1-3 are correct & part of the theme. Anyone for the assist?
  • snookeroo
    snookeroo Posts: 2,196 Member
    Assist and yield to Wings:

    "Strange Magic"
    "Magic"

    Thanks, @snookeroo and Felìz Lunes!

    3-way Mash-up (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs.
    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

    1. Simon & Garfunkel
    2. Led Zeppelin
    3. Chuck Berry

    Oh! Good one (had to cogitate on Cars for a while)
    in lieu of a guess (and assuming I'm on the right track) I'll through out another couple of adtl. clues:

    I'm thinking....

    Sammy Davis, Jr. -- The Candy Man
    The Cars -- Candy-O
    The Four Seasons -- Candy Girl (research required here :( )
    New Edition -- Candy Girl (research here too)
    Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy

    Candy is correct. Thanks for showing your work...and for the extra credit.

    The band is probably easy, but the song may take a second clue or research.

    Deborah Harry + Elisha Gray = [band/song]

    RunTimer Posts: 9,137 Member
    yeah, I totally had to reasearch EG (and I'm not ashamed of it...learned something new!)

    Blondie / Call Me

    and because no good deed will go unpunished


    Hey I just met you
    And this is crazy
    But here's my number
    So call me maybe

    Correct.

    I look at http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history every morning and just a few days ago was when Bell got his patent and Gray didn't.

    I just glossed over your post and just realized that would have been a good riddle: Blondie + Carlie Rae Jepsen = [song]

    Okay..this one may take some research and Spreadsheet (but then it is called 'Rock 'n' Roll Arithmetic' , isn't it)
    g1352867703328763869.jpg

    With so many song titles here, I think the fun might be in the collaborative effort:
    No Spoilers!...If you have an answer, but not all the answers, post what you got!..I'm sure together you'all can get this..

    Try it with out invoke the lords at Google
    Ready..Good Luck! (and no wagering..but do remember to tip your waitress..just don't tip her over)


    Rules: The numbers from the first 6 songs are multiplied by each other in geometric progression
    The 7th song is then divided by the product of the first 6
    The last (8th) number is the answer to the last song.


    ___ : Hagarian Limit
    x ___ : Adams Summder
    x ___ : Paul & Art's Bridge to Queensboro
    x ___ : Commodores exponential Woman
    x ___ : Berry's Route
    x ___ : only this 'Withers'-ing Duo
