    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".

    Diamond Girl

    Looking for the addends that equal the sum:

    Rush + Zager & Evens = 4637
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,519 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.

    You’re up.

    Grand Funk = ?

    Hall & Oates = Private Eyes

    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.
