    Someone fill in the blank. We can get a new one going before the weekend.

    I was thinking Rio and looked up the longest river in Ireland and came up with Shannon. Thought maybe Jackie DeShannon. I learned a few things about her, but didn't come up with a song.

    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    Hopefully I didn't do this one before.

    Here is a nice song that I think was a one hit wonder from 1980. The singer also had a duet hit with Susan Anton.

    Trying to clue-in the singer's name is hard. The surname sounds like my clue, but is spelled differently.

    Mr. Flintstone + (1 / block) / Question asked by those not picked = [singer/song]



    Unrelated, but something this group would be interested in. Hopefully you've all seen this.

    I looked this up, cause I just HAD to know. Will defer to the rest of you who are smarter than me. :)

    Isn't it a nice song though? Kind of sad, but good.

    Had you seen the Carpool Karaoke? Isn't it cool?

    Slight change in the clue.

    Mr. Flintstone + !(block) / Question asked by those not picked = [singer/song]

    deckerp Posts: 4,505 Member
    Maybe it was such a minor hit no one would know it.

    Mr. Flintstone + !(block) / Question asked by those not picked = [singer/song]

    Fred Knobloch is the singer. If no one gets it, I'll reveal the answer and open the floor.

    Fred Knobloch / Why not me

    Was a good clue...got the song right at the start, but, being unfamiliar with the singer I was keeping mum.

    My first thought for Debby Boone is You Light Up My Life. that's where I lose it though.

    You are right so far.I just realized I put down wrong artist for 2. It should be Tom Cochrane.
