    I bet this isn't the Music History you're referring too is it?

    August 18, 1979: Chic’s “Good Times” hits #1 on the U.S. pop charts

    It has to be The Police, but I'm lost on the song.

    HINT TIME

    Paddy Wagoners / drinks (or an other term for alcoholic mixers) at the Bazawar (or any other "sphere" where "raw textiles" or other "physical tradecraft" can be found)

    Correct!..
    For those wondering about the historical significance, that date, 40yrs ago Aug 18, the band performed together as a trio for the first time publically.

    To commemorate that, on this Solar Eclipse day on our Northwest Hemisphere I slip this track on the turntable and to inspire @deckerP (you're up, mate!)

    I should try to work in something for Bonnie Tyler and Total Eclipse Of The Heart, but I won't.

    Instead, I'll dedicate this song to my wife on our anniversary.

    Stealers Wheel - Joe Egan / Multiple 24 hour periods + Away + Direction of gravity's tug = [artist / song]

    Gene Autry + Aerosmith =
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,436 Member
    I had to search a bit, but I found Joe Perry (of Aerosmith) did a version of Run Run Rudolph. Is that what you are looking for?

    It's a bit late for Christmas in July. :-)

    No. Something more obvious. Very obvious, I think.

    Had to do a bit of G.AUTRY research (aka GoogleCheating)

    Riders in the Sky , Love in an Elevator?
  • snookeroo
    snookeroo Posts: 2,058 Member
    No, no no.

    I believe this is Gene Autry's signature song (however, he is before my time) and the the name of a classic Aerosmith song. Different songs/same title.

    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.
    FYI - 2 of the groups may take you out of your comfort zone, the level of difficulty is very high and clues may be necessary.
    #GoogleIsYourFriend
    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. Boomtown Rats
    2. Sleater-Kinney
    3. Urge Overkill
