    Song/band-German highway/power station

    I would think the song has to be Autobahn, but can't work out the Power Station reference.

    Song is right. Power station is English translation.

    Is the band Kraftwerk?
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,652 Member
    That was correct I believe.

    c + c + tunes + workshop / all + boogie + immediately = [band/song]

    Repeating the new question.

    This one stumped me. I've been wracking my brain. Finally, I started with "workshop" and began deciphering. I got the "tunes" and "workshop" and then did a search. BINGO! I must admit, I never heard of the band or song.

    C+C Music Factory/Everybody Dance Now

    That is correct, but how did you avoid hearing this song?

    It's a top ear worm.

    Here is the Christopher Walken mix.

    Wait! Was that song also used in an episode of The Office?

    @futuresylph Correct. You're up. Give us a clue.

    I'll pass until I get a better idea of how the game is played. I just came in because I heard Christopher Walken was dancing in here, and I do so love to watch that man move. ;-D

    Okay, I've managed to come up with one.

    Benign goodwill + having a smooth, gleaming surface / Lends flavor to = Artist / Song
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,652 Member
    My first thought for song title is "Season", but not sure about that and struggling with an artist.
  • futuresylph
    futuresylph Posts: 2,178 Member
    You're extremely close on the song, @deckerp. Should I give more hints on the artist?
  • corinasue1143
    corinasue1143 Posts: 7,460 Member
    Or try Grace Slick?
  • futuresylph
    futuresylph Posts: 2,178 Member
    Ding ding ding! Grace Slick/Seasons is what I had in mind. Unsure who goes next, since we had two winners.
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,652 Member
    I vote @corinasue1143 goes next.

    I only know Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane and the follow-up groups. Nothing from her solo career.

    She's 81. Wow. That shocked me, but probably shouldn't.

    Chubby Checker / The Twist

    That song hit #1 in 1960 and again in 1962.

    Of course. Fun for all ages. Everyone loves to twist!

    Who is flying the airplane / Abracadabra = [band/song]

    Pilot/It's Magic?
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,652 Member
    That's the one I was looking for. Selena Gomez did a version of it too.

    @futuresylph give us another one.
  • futuresylph
    futuresylph Posts: 2,178 Member
    A pretty easy one:

    Trees or shrubs having glossy, spiny-toothed leaves / Coach + Brief pause in a journey = Band / Song
