View Full Version : Song Chain

Here's how it goes:
the first person names a song and group. Next person takes a word from the title and names another song. (No using easy words like "the", or "of", etc!)
If it's impossible to use one of the words in the previous title, use the group/singer and name another of their songss.
I'll start with:

I didn't know he'd done a version of it, but having looked it up, I can't find a composer on either his or the O Brother Where Art Thou (as Dream Weaver correctly pointed out :) ) soundtrack, it just appears as "traditional", so I think we can assume it's the same song.

Midnight Train To Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips
I've always loved The Pips' vocals on this.
E.g. Gladys sings "I'm gonna be with him!"
They chip in "I Know You Will."
Ok you have to know it, but it's kinda funny. :o

Midnight Blue - Louise Tucker
Dream Weaver

One of the finest backing vocal performances in musical history, I reckon. My favourite bit is where they sing "Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia - woo! woo!", mimicking the whistle of a train.

Very dubious, Harriet. And a third use of 3. Now if you'd said Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) or even (Part One), that would have been better.

I can't find anything with "sleeper", so I'm going with "sleep". And its by REM, I think that makes up for modifying the word! :)
