    The Amorus Ladles posed this 5worded question that theEstephan Grain Processors answered with one nonsensical phrase.

    Solve for Artists and songs

    LOVING SPOONFULS, Do You Believe In Magic
    STEVE MILLER BAND, Abracadabra

    WELL DONE, @deckerp and @Mustang_Susie

    You two can Rochambois for next

    Rochambois LOL

    Heard this one the other day. Top, Top summer hit (in my opinion of course) from 1974. Should be easy.

    Expensive flight seating / sandy shore + infant = [band/song]

    Correct. A good one. I may have even used that one before in this thread.

    Here's a personal fave that's a blast from the past, and further past

    King Louis the first + a lone stray cat = this ode to springen singen und schreien

    solve for artists and song

    Not sure if this is the direction you're heading, but off a quick Yahoo search (they have a fine search engine and they aren't dead) I found....

    King Louis the first was known as King Louis the Pious.
    One suggestion for a long stray cat was feral.

    Which located a person in Texas named Pius Ferrell. :smile:

    Okay, here's an easy one (for the real oldtimers..yeah me)
    Here's a new twist to the ROCK+ROLL ARITHMEITIC:
    STOP THE PRESSES: HEADLINES!!!

    How to play: take the long-azzed hint below, and, in Newsman fashion, cull it down into the simple Frontpage Headline and song

    Story: Chicago Trumpeter earns newfound respect as an enlistee in the armed forces
