    This group may be interested. Sirius/XM Radio has free access this holiday week. I'm not sure when that started or when it ends, but they do this a few times during the year, usually during holiday weeks like this.

    I thought I'd try this.

    Take two (or more) facts and make an equation. When you add them together you get the answer.

    Examples:

    Abba + Napoleon = Waterloo

    Elton John + The Wizard of Oz = Yellow Brick Road

    Post the addition problem without the answer. The person who answers the question earns the honor of posting the next Rock 'n' Roll Arithmetic problem.

    Here goes...

    The Police + Neil Armstrong =

    Walking on the Moon

    I would say that answer is correct. It's the first post Snookeroo made when he started this thread.

    It seems we've bogged down, maybe due to holidays. @frankshort2333 Can you give us a new one?

    OK. I'll throw one out there. I heard this on the way to work. I think it was a one hit wonder.

    not familiar, but I'll wager a guess (solely on the strength of clue)

    Hexen / Little Tin Soldier

    Very close. From what I read the song was originally released in the 60s, but became famous as the theme song from kind of an indie movie. I had heard the movie was a college project. Remember Billy Jack?
