Game: Chain of Song Titles

dragon1 · 26 Oct 2003, 02:29 AM

This game is borrowed from another discussion board which was borrowed from other discussion boards.

Object: Enter the title of a song which begins with the last letter or number (the digit) in the title of the previous song.

Examples:

1) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

2) Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues

Rules:

The first letter in the song title must start with the last letter or number in the previous song title.
You may repeat a song title only if the artist is different, i.e. there are many versions of "Louie, Louie." This makes it a little harder. So please indicate the artist/group's name.
You do not have to boldface the last/ first letters.
"A" or "The" in the song title can be either ignored or used.
Any musical genre is game, whether it's rock, pop, classical, gospel, hip-hop, country, New Age, world, jazz, etc. Just be sure the song title/ artist's name is clear of any forum-banned words.
Any song title ending with "X" won't count, so try to avoid it. There just aren't too many songs that begin with "X".
Please contain your enthusiasm by posting only one song at a time and wait one post before posting again. See exception below.
Exception to the above is Malc's Rule where if you post a song title that starts and ends with the same letter, you can immediately post again.
Starting Dec. 2004 you may repeat song titles used April 2004 and prior, and the title may not be repeated during this new phase until at least 5 pages have passed. This is because we don't have a current "titles already used" list anymore.
