    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. Buena suerte y no apuesten, por favor!
    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. Chubby Checker
    2. The Beatles
    3. Tears For Fears

    OK here goes:

    Counting Crows +
    Elvis +
    Prince +
    UB40 +
    Booker T & the MGs +
    REM +
    =
    Kermit

    These songs have something in common that adds up to the last song.

    Ouch my head hurts trying to wrap around this one.. :confounded:

    since I don't think i have a horse in this race, I'm hoping I can nudge the real contestants closer

    I'm guessing a colorful ('bule suede', 'purple rain' , 'red wine') theme here...

    Booker T would be "Green Onions"

    I'm thinking "Rainbow Connection"???

    Yep, those are all right. One last clue. Counting Crows song was a remake of a Joni Mitchell song.

    Well, I'm going to take the google cheat as an answer:

    Counting Crows + Yellow Taxi Cab
    Elvis + Blue Suede Shoes
    Prince + Purple Rain
    UB40 + Red Red Wine
    Booker T & the MGs + Green Onions
    REM + Orange Crush
    =
    Kermit Rainbow Connection

    It was a group weekend effort. Anyone feel free to go ahead...

    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]
