Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted October 3, 2011 ...because, obviously, we really need another excuse to post random songs :) So, here's the idea: the song you post has to be related in some way to the previous one. Interpret that as broadly as you like; as long as the previous song somehow made you think of the one you post in reply, that's fine. But - and there's always a "but" - you have to tell us why the previous song makes you think of the one you posted, especially if it's not obvious. There has to be a link of some kind, even if it's only in your own head. And, as with the current song thread, post a link to a vid/recording of what you choose. Since I'm kicking this off, it falls to me to decide where to start, and so I suppose I'd better start at the beginning (for me, at least): the first song on the first album I ever purchased. Guns n' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted October 3, 2011 Great idea, wise Phaedrus. I'll play along with the following: The Stone Roses - Tears. The link in this case is simply the Roses connection in the names of both artists. Edit: Drat! Yet another song thread for RG to be faster than me in. OK, so Lauryn Hill was a member of the Fugees, so: Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE6Qcc6VDo8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted October 3, 2011 Hope I understand the rules here Well, you haven't obviously missed the point - at least, I can see the link :) The Fugees-Rumble In The Jungle The Rumble in the Jungle was, of course, a famous sporting event.
