    5-way mashup (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 5 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 5 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. Whitney Houston
    2. The Everly Brothers
    3. Aerosmith
    4. Donna Summer
    5. Queen

    1. Counting Crows -- Round Here
    2. Pixies -- Here Comes Your Man
    3. Johnny Cash -- Man In Black
    4. Soundarden -- Black Hole Sun
    5. U2 -- Sun City

    Completely done with research. None of them are on my playlist, although of course I know some of Johnny Cash's songs and a smattering of the others. I don't think I've ever heard of Pixies. I guess I'm somewhat sheltered.

    I saw a notable death this last week, Mike Mitchell. Movies leading to a band/song.

    Oops. Slight correction.

    Band:The Secret Service + Band:The Golden Circle / Comedian Anderson * 2 = [band/song]

    Well,I know the song but otherwise I am clueless.

    Song-Louie Louie

    deckerp Posts: 4,447 Member
    That is the correct song. The clues to the band are like Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi. They were all Star Wars. Both The Secret Service and The Golden Circle were movies in this series. The name isn't quite right, but since there are two of them you could say man + man = men.

    Pretty sure this band did the definitive version.

    Maybe that will help someone?

    :D I guess they didn't do any country, but yes The Bee Gees. At least that's what I came up with.

    They did write Islands In The Stream which was a big hit for Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton.
