    Its another mathMASHUP(click Spoiler for rules)
    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

    Solve for Artists and Song


    If you paired:
    • a quartet Simians
      with
    • 4 boys from Ireland
      on
    • their day of rest
    they would produce this happy / tragic song.

    Time for some Chain of Tunes posers

    See if you can guess these 4 hit songs by the artists listed. The songs all have something in common
    1. Looking Glass
    2. Barry Manilow
    3. John Travolta*
    3. Cameo

    *okay, maybe 'hit' is a stretch in this case :smiley:

    1. Looking Glass - Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)
    Only song I know by them

    2. Barry Manilow - ??
    Way too many songs to guess right now

    3. John Travolta* - Let Her In
    It was in an AT40 countdown from 1976 (of course I'd hear that)

    4. Cameo - ??
    Don't know this group

    here's a hint: #3 is one of Travolta's Greasier tunes.

    It was in an AT40 countdown from 1976 (of course I'd hear that) Assuming it wasn't a duet. Could have been "Sandy" too.

    4. Cameo - ??
    Don't know this group. Still don't know this group.
