      80’s mash-up (see spoiler for definition). I'll provide the 2 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 2 connecting songs.
      Spoiler
      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. Modern English
      2. Bon Jovi

      Pair-share: Although this pair of songs share the same name title, they are completely different songs and are sung by different artists. I’ll provide the artists and you provide the songs. See spoiler for example:
      Spoiler
      Artists: Bob Dylan/Rod Stewart =
      Song: Forever Young


      Artists: Bob Marley / Whitesnake
      Song: ?

      I don't have any Bob Marley, so I had to do a search. It came right up.

      Is This Love?

      I was listening to an AT40 countdown and heard a good song. So I looked into its history.

      Here is the album it came from.

      Give me the artist and album title. A la Susie.

      Obscure 1970s album/artist
    • Posts: 4,655 Member
      Reverse image search revealed the answer to me. The artist and album were unknown to me. Maybe someone else knows the answer off the top of their head.

      I grew up mostly in Europe, so I have a different music history sometimes.
      Some hints-British artist -pretty much unknown during his lifetime. Killed himself with an Amitriptyline OD in 1974.

      Just Googled your hints.
      I was not familiar with him, either.

      Well, at least this time when I cheat, I share the penalty box with good company.

      Pink Moon – Nick Drake

      Thinking of a new one. Don't you hate it when you had a really good one, but then when it comes time you can't remember what it was?

      I'll answer @Mustang_Susie 's question with another question.. call it paying (or playing ) it forward:

      yewvqzclldtl.jpegPLUS 7 blocks
      equals       "slow down, you move to fast"

      Watching an Elvis movie tonight. It's free with Amazon Prime. Looking for a song from the soundtrack. It was the only hit I recognized from it. Maybe someone will happen to know it, otherwise a little research or another clue may be needed.

      Elvis / Girls! Girls! Girls! = [song from soundtrack]

      "Return To Sender"? One of his best. One of my favourite Elvis tracks.
    • Posts: 4,655 Member
      That is correct! Did you just know that one? The movie wasn't one of his better ones, but I did recognize his love interest. She's on a Star Trek episode.

      Go KCDAMBUSTER. Give us a new one.

      Yep, it wasn't one of his better movies, but I did see it back in the day and many of the songs were nothing special.

      BTW. Hats off to all you R&R Arithmetic stalwarts. I thought you might have run out of songs by now!
