    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together

    Welcome!
    The person who solves the most recent “problem” goes next.
    So, technically it’s deckerp’s turn next.
    But feel free to try and solve his next “problem” :)

    I think it’s time for a lyric challenge...

    “Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
    Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
    Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things
    To come
    Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground”

    Sweet baby James. I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. Whatever the name is.

    I remember well the first time I ever heard that song. I've seen him perform several times and I always cry.

    A song originally written for me, or someone like me.

    I figured out the band all by myself, but have none in my library, so will likely not be able to come up with the song. With some investigation I may be able to find the proper one.

    Don’t know how to give a better clue without giving song. They are not known for singing this song. Was probably just a quick filler for an album. I’m a big fan and didn’t know they sang it, so I’m sure you would have to google it. I definitely know the song well, don’t know who wrote it, made it famous. I’m sure Vince sang it to his daughter.

    There’s also a movie, same name. Nothing to do with the song.

    Brooks and Dunn / My Maria?

    I really like that song too and I have hear their version. B.W. Stevenson did it originally and I like his version, but theirs is good too.

    @corinasue1143 Well duh. I didn't catch that at all. Here is something I just stumbled across on YouTube, but in the form of a math problem for us.

    First crossover artist / Kansas town + electrical worker = [artist/song]

    I didn't know that about this artist. He was a studio musician who played for Frank Sinatra, The Righteous Brothers, The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and many more.

    Well, if it’s who I think it is, I certainly didn’t know all that either. His family used to come through where I lived, chopping cotton, peanuts, picking peaches (uncles, I think. Folklore. I never met any of them)
