    Elton John has a song called PINKY.
    Had not heard of that one. I did listen to a bit of it and it sounds like a good album track.

    Here is a lesser-known artist and not a huge hit.

    Dean Friedman + The Little Mermaid = [song]

    I recognized his name, right away. You reminded me of the song a couple of years ago. I have it on one of my ‘70s collections. Good tune.

    Ariel

    (Who changed and added *kitten* to my last post?)

    Ariel is correct.

    All I ever saw was *kitten* on your last post.

    Muskrat Love

    The Captain & Tennille played "The Way I Want To Touch You" and "Muskrat Love" for Gerald Ford in 1976 for the Bicentennial. Queen Elizabeth fell asleep during "Muskrat Love".

    Looking for the addends that equal the sum:

    Rush + Zager & Evens = 4637
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,651 Member
    2112 + 2525 = 4637

    I didn't know the Rush one, but it was just math I guess.

    Oh! I forgot about “Walk On Water”. I was thinking of “Gimme Some Water”. I always loved that song.

    Billy Joel, Elton John, Blues Image, Jimmy Buffet (Capt. & The Kid), Hall & Oates are correct.
    David Bowie's Major Tom is correct, from the songs "Space Oddity" and "Ashes To Ashes".
    For McCartney and Wings I was thinking of the line "was your father as bold as a Sergeant Major?" from the song "Jet". But "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" is a good answer, too.

    Still looking for:
    Grand Funk =
    Beatles =

    You know Grand Funk will be "captain" because of the grouping. Maybe a little Googling.
    I thought the Beatles was the most obvious. "Think, think, think" says Pooh Bear.

    Grand Funk = Closer To Home (I'm Your Captain)
    Beatles = Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

    I had forgotten about the Grand Funk song. I looked through their discography on wikipedia and it didn't jump out at me, but I remember it. It was listed at the bottom of the page with a link to a page for just that song. Odd that it wasn't listed among the singles anywhere on the page. Maybe because they list it as being done by Grand Funk Railroad and I was looking at Grand Funk? Not sure there is a difference.

    I was less of a fan of later Beatles, so it didn't occur to me. Duh, my bad.
