    Here's one to test your UK knowledge.

    The sound of F1. / You'll need your raincoat in this Lancashire Town.

    "Song" / Artist

    I have the artist, but I'm not sure what you mean with quotation marks around 'song', so I will throw out:

    Storms - Fleetwood Mac
  • kcdambuster

    Correct band.
    Theme tune on BBC
    "Instrumental" in this case. I think.

    "The BBC's Formula One coverage used the ending bass line as a theme tune from 1978 until the BBC's loss of TV rights to ITV Sport in 1997, thus making the song highly recognisable in the United Kingdom." Or so the rumours go!

    kcdambuster, are you English by any chance? My ex-wife is English, and I lived in England for 10 years. She insisted that instrumentals were not songs, but music. I disagreed. :)

    I did a quick search on Yahoo and heard what you're referring too. Of course we don't get BBC Formula One coverage in Iowa, but it sounds like...

    Fleetwood Mac -- The Chain

    Fleetwood Mac's best known bass line is probably from 'Dreams'. I'm not enough of an F1 fan to know if that's correct.

    According to my "research" you are correct.
    Us Midwesterners gotta stick together :D

    BillyC, I can see where she is coming from, in that you can only sing a song and not an instrumental. Must be an English thing. :o

    The Chain it is.

    Apologies if I was a bit out of order on that one. I know Indycars are more popular in the US than F1, but as a theme tune that was very well known in the UK. Rumours was a great album too.

    We've done some diagrams so here's something new.

    There is an artist and song buried in this word search. It's a disco tune.

    There are a few small words so it could be difficult.

    I still pass but here are some lyrics to get closer to the Midwest. :)

    All aboard!

    Newingburg, Kingston, Albany & on we go
    to Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo.
    Erie, Pennsylvania, Cleveland on the lake shore
    Whistle at Lorain, Sandusky to Toledo
    Let her roll, hello Indiana by Ohio
    South Bend, Gary change trains in Chicago

    Charleyette, Bloomington, Decatur, make a right flank
    Springfield, St Louis on the muddy banks
    Switching locomotives catching MKT making Whizville
    Boonville and K.C. cutting to Topeka no more little bitty
    Towns where she stops till she hits Oklahoma City.

    Chuck Berry

    I'll jump in! My favorite version of this song is performed by another artist. Scratches at my soul.

    Diminutive + Super Bowl snack / force a lock + Scottish gin = song/artist
