    The CC/Joni Mitchell song is actually "Big Yellow Taxi".

    Yep, you're right...

    I can throw one out. Looking for the singer in common and not the duo or groups that performed them.

    Stumblin' In + Living Next Door To Alice = [singer]

    Reminder....

    Amy Grant also covered Big Yellow Taxi...

    and Chris Norman sang both Stumblin' In (w/ Suzi Quatro) and Living Next Door To Alice (as a member of the band Smokie)

    Correct. Good stuff for some not so big acts.

    I was actually thinking of Amy Grant- I saw her perform it live :)

    Hint: this song is not considered a major hit. However, it did receive occasional air play on FM radio.

    I scoped out his albums through 1978 and didn't see a track that seemed to fit.

    I thought maybe Sixty Years On, but the math isn't right there is it?

    No. Last clue:

    The title of this song is also Elton John's middle name.

    Ok. I just got it. I just realized it's a video.

    I guess you get half a point, and most importantly, the honors. The answer is "Hercules".

    The Elton John song comes from his album Honky Chateau, which also contains the hits "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat", and the classic "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters". The song "Hercules" ends the album.

    Ok, too much information for one game...
    @RunTimer , you're up.

    Thanks, @snookeroo :smile:

    I tapped Poesia, my inner muse, for his one:

    In the below Pseudo-PSonnet, decipher the 5 Artists (all bands) and the one song that answers the question.
    Cooperation welcome..no wagering

    In the heat of the moment, your words take my breath away.
    Forsooth, the closer you get to me,
    it's that much stronger, the feeling grows;
    Yea, it is more than a feeling, for without you,
    I'm as aimless as dust in the wind;
    crossing the desert,
    on _____________


    Artists
    1.___________ (title__________)
    2.___________ (title__________)
    3.___________ (title__________)
    4.___________ (title__________)
    5.___________ (title__________)

    On what (Song)? ________________

    Look at your combined answers; one of them violates the puzzle theme..

    2. Berlin- Take My Breath Away ????
    3. Roberta Flack- The Closer I Get To You ?
    4. Boston - More Than A Feeling (I have tickets for Boston in a month)

    Maybe Roberta Flack doesn't belong because the other groups are places.

    Rex Smith did a song called You Take My Breath Away, but still not a place.

    Oh wait, it's "the closer you get to me" that may need to change.


    OK, I found one with a quick search that could work. I have some of their stuff too.

    1. Asia - Heat of the Moment
    2. Berlin - Take My Breath Away
    3. Alabama - The Closer You Get
    4. Boston - More Than A Feeling (I have tickets for Boston in a month)
    5. Kansas - Dust In The Wind
