    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.
    Peek-a-boo (I was sure no one looks here anymore :) )
    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. Soft Cell
    2. Beatles
    3. Culture Club

    Note: given how prolific the 2nd artists are this clue could have multiple legitimate answers, so don't take it personal if hit the "WRONG" buzzer

    Time for Lyric Trivia!
    “And I can't tell the difference between ABC News
    Hillstreet Blues and a preacher on the Old Time Gospel Hour
    Stealing money from the sick and the old
    Well, the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister...”

    Had to research. They aren't on my playlist and 1987 is after I listened to much new music.

    U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky
  • Mustang_Susie
    Mustang_Susie Posts: 7,045 Member
    Yep
    My all-time favorite U2 album
    And once I like an album, I memorize it

    I liked the lyrics trivia, so I'll try one.

    "Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
    Made to feel the way that every child should
    Sit and listen, sit and listen
    Went to school and I was very nervous
    No one knew me, no one knew me
    Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
    Look right through me, look right through me"

    Research shows Mad World by Tears for Fears. Is that it?
  • DifferentView
    DifferentView Posts: 17,416 Member
    It's Mad World. I think Gary Jules actually sang it in the movie. I actually prefer the one that Adam Lambert sang on American Idol several years ago. Ok, enough of my life story,lol. You are up!

    This is a little different. @Snookeroo let me know there is a new movie coming out. Looking for the name of the movie which is the same as the name of a song. The movie is about a world where the Beatles never existed.

    Beatles / new movie title = [song]

    I saw something about this online earlier, so I know the answer. Will defer to someone else.

    Listening to a 70s playlist on Amazon Music called Radio Hits Of The 70s. On right now is this one. I'm pretty sure I've used this one in the past.

    Vicki Sue Robinson + Gloria Estefan = [song]
