    @cmsienk Doing a little research to jog the brain is just fine. Struggle with it for a few hours or a day and then resort to some research. That's what I do anyway.

    Good song though eh?

    Give us a new one.

    @kcdambuster I'm struggling to find something. Is the bust stop referring to the band and the heads part a song?

    Hi deckerp, great you guys have kept this running so long. Subject of song is reflecting on his location. + Album name.

    @kcdambuster Could you give us another clue for the same song?

    My favorite decade is the 70s, but I listen to lots from 80s and some for 60s too. If it isn't in there somewhere I might not know it.

    It's maybe a bit obscure. 1960's Stones album. Out of our heads. Catchy little riff having a dig at one of the record label guys.

    I'm not a huge Stones fan, but that was a pretty big album wasn't it?

    Is it "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"?

    Same song title, different song.

    Styx + Kenny Rogers = [song]

    November 23, 1889: First jukebox plays

    The jukebox debuts in a San Francisco saloon

    The Palais Royale Saloon rolls out a device that will be an overnight success and will eventually drum player pianos out of drinking establishments: the jukebox. This initial version, a nickel-and-slot player, is a phonograph with stethoscope-like tubes.

    The first jukebox was invented by Louis Glass and William S. Arnold in 1889, in San Francisco. They called it the “nickel-in-the-slot phonograph” and installed it at the Palais Royale Saloon. It was an Edison Class M electric phonograph with four listening tubes and a coin-operated device. It was a huge hit and soon spread across the world.

    @Watching_The_Wheels I'm not sure what you might be looking for with your equation. Song or album or what?

    Normally you would answer the previous one and then pose your own.
    Do you have a guess for the one I posted?

    @deckerp - yes, I thought the answer to your equation was Band on the Run. Eagles (Band) + Marathon (on the run)…

    @Watching_The_Wheels Oh, sorry. I misunderstood.

    No, I was looking for a song by the Eagles with the clue "marathon".

    That's what I was looking for.

    3-way mashup (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 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. The Outfield
    2. Mickey & Sylvia
    3. The Doors

    1. The Outfield -- Your Love
    2. Mickey & Sylvia -- Fine Love
    3. The Doors -- Hello, I Love You

    #1 is correct but the others are not. Remember, the last word of the 1st song is the 1st word of the 2nd song. Then, the last word of the 2nd song is the 1st word of the 3rd song. They must connect. Hope this helps!

    Oh man, I forgot how a mashup worked. Duh.

    1. The Outfield -- Your Love
    2. Mickey & Sylvia -- Love Is Strange
    3. The Doors -- Strange Days

    Maybe?
