    I can "hear" Supertramp, but don't have the song yet. Had to sing it through in my head for a bit.

    Supertramp -- Dreamer?

    Good guess, Pat, but no.
    I’ll leave it out there for a bit before I give more hints :)

    Please feel free to Google-research
    Perhaps the song is not quite as popular

    Best listened to at full volume in my Mustang with the top down
    No one has tighter harmonies
    Complex lyrical layers skillfully woven into a melodious masterpiece

    Good guess, but no :)
    Cuyahoga and the name of a State are in the song lyrics, but the song title is different

    A state or a city?
  • Mustang_Susie
    Mustang_Susie Posts: 7,045 Member
    Cuyahoga is the city and it’s in this state, both of which are lyrics in the song and where the female lead singer originates
    It was the “B”side of their biggest hit and the theme song for The Rush Limbaugh Show

    That is more than I knew about that song. I've listened to Rush before (it's been a few years now), but didn't ever know the background on the song.

    That works too, but not the one I was thinking of. It's older than that.

    3-way Mash-up “Pronounced” (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 “pronounced” (not written) connecting songs.
    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

    1. Bryan Adams
    2. Prince
    3. Nena
