Correct with my link!Lesley Hines wrote:Right, then the connection must be maid, cos the other one's Livin' Lovin' Maid (Led Zep).
Ok: what's the connection between these?

I don't think so. At least, that's not the connection I have in mind.Marc Meakin wrote:Are they songs that have been covered by American Idol/X Factor winners?Ryan Taylor wrote:Q. What is the connection between these songs?

Lesley, although the first part of your post is indeed from Beats International's Dub Be Good to Me, those 'tank fly' lyrics are actually lifted from Johnny Dynell's 1983 hit 'Jam Hot'. Sorry, haven't been on the board for a while, but I've been busy. Not to mention having a good 26th birthday today.Lesley Hines wrote:Right, then the connection must be maid, cos the other one's Livin' Lovin' Maid (Led Zep).

Radio 1's big weekend was after the time I wrote that question. And I had completely forgotten about this topic! It was a bit of an obscure connection and probably not in the spirit of this thread. The three songs are from albums with 'Eyes' in the title:AndyB2007 wrote:In regards to Ryan's question, maybe it's something to do with Radio 1's Big Weekend? Snow Patrol and Paramore performed at the Big Weekend, and Cheryl performed a cover of Fireflies by Owl City.
I am guessing that all the artistes have a Jewish connection (2,3 4 and 6 are, at least)Matt Morrison wrote:Find the connection:

"Holly came from Miami F.L.A. / hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A."
You ought to recognise some. You won't others, so feel free to Google to find out songs/artists. Looking for the connection.
Yup, nice one! And I did mean to do Beastie Boys but then forgot, oops.Marc Meakin wrote:I am guessing that all the artistes have a Jewish connection (2,3 4 and 6 are, at least)Matt Morrison wrote:"I love the crowd, I hate the crowd. I constantly constipate the crowd."

Did you ever find out what this song was?Jon Corby wrote:Person who gets it right sets the next one, and so on.

My laser guided love-beam's headed straight for your heart
Phil Makepeace first cracked that it was a BT advert (and described the advert), although he said it featured ET, and I told him that it certainly didn't feature ET.Ryan Taylor wrote:Did you ever find out what this song was?Jon Corby wrote:Person who gets it right sets the next one, and so on.

Turns out it was "aiming". I would have got it straight away.Jon Corby wrote:I'm relying on my memory somewhat, but I'm fairly sure they're accurate. I mean, the "headed" might've been "heading" or something like that, but nothing important.Matt Morrison wrote:Are the written lyrics true to their performance, or is part of the game that you have paraphrased them so as to prevent Googlery?
