Muscial monday #109

Well Baltiblogs is back up, but I used my blogspot site yesterday.

Welcome to Musical Monday #109. You know the drill: Every week, Elie alternate hosing ... players are invited to guess the songs, figure out the them but no "Googling." This week the theme is what the songs in each group have to do with the first one in the group. Later today check out Musical Monday #108 for results from last week!

Actually I'll allow Googling for one thing here. This is a variation on an earlier Musical Monday. So once you figure out the theme, if you want to find the earlier one for extra credit, you may search for that. (Hint: it's more than two years old.)

So with no further ado, here's Musical Monday #109. (I hope to update this tonight, so hold off on the bonuses until Thursday.)

Comments

I don't know if anyone else is playing over here, but I can't post comments on the other site so here goes.

22 - Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Could 21-28 be songs by artists in the Sun Records "Million Dollar Quartet"?

42 - Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones

44 - The Seeker - The Who
46 - A Day in the Life - The Beatles
44-46: The Seeker has the line, "I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles"

48 - Are You Lonesome Tonight? - Elvis Presley
49 - Drive My Car - The Beatles

53 - Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds
Roger McGuinn is the connection to Creeque Alley. 52 might be a Lovin' Spoonful song?

59 - Garden Party - Ricky Nelson
61 - Crackerbox Palace - George Harrison
I believe Garden Party is about a concert at Madison Square Garden that Ricky Nelson played, with several other artists who are referenced in the song. George Harrison must have been one of them though I don't remember all the lyrics now (I do remember that "Yoko brought a walrus", but I thought "the walrus was Paul"... :)

62 - Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) - Elton John
This song is about John Lennon.

Is 41, "Don't Rock the Jukebox"? If it is, I'm not at all sure but I'll guess that the artist is Hank Williams Jr. and that #43 is a George Jones song.
