I’m thinking the theme is 80’s songs…possible bands, the cars, wham, genesis, huey lewis, Yes, shriekback, SAX SOLOS…
Hi friends!I will tell you this: all of this week’s songs share a common theme, and if you can pinpoint one, that might help you decipher these other cryptic hints.
- An alarm clock might have prevented this song from ever being created.

It’s not so much about the distance, it’s about the time.Well in that case, I suppose Wham! is a far better guess. Well played, C3.
[*]It cuts like a knife. Or do you cut it with a knife? Whatever.
Probably wishful thinking, but I’m hoping it’s ‘you better you bet’ by The Who.

How do you cut “better” with a knife?
Clue 4 – maybe Gold by Spandau Ballet
Clue 6 – maybe Come Sail Away by Styx
Clue 11 – maybe Cuts like a Knife by Bryan Adams
The song with the bass an sax solos maybe is Same Old Scene or Jealous Guy by Roxy Music
Clue 4 – maybe Gold by Spandau Ballet
Somebody already guessed “Malaria” for this one, which fits the clue perfectly.
Clue 6 – maybe Come Sail Away by Styx
Hadn’t thought of that one. I like it as a possibility. Styx has some prog qualities.
Clue 11 – maybe Cuts like a Knife by Bryan Adams
A little too obvious?
I feel like I could wait 10 years and nobody would get the answers. GET TO WORK!
Already on disc, DLC, and customs, but now, right in the pineapple.What’s it going to take to get the lightbulbs to go off here? Or is it on? Off? Huh.
Viva Vargas!I thought this was a pretty sweet hint – what’s the problem?
The roadie was an actor, but he wasn’t actually German.No love for this one?
Is it time for something pompous? Or maybe prog? Yes. It’s time.Yes. It’s time.
He named it after his mother, who was in turn named after a novel, which contained eerily prescient passages.I guess this hint bombed.
It cuts like a knife. Or do you cut it with a knife? Whatever.I thought this clue was fantastic.
The kind of thing you’d listen to on a gloomy day. But it’s not part of a concerto.I had high hopes this would be guessed, but they’re evaporating quickly.
This one-hit wonder spawned a webcomic almost 20 years later.Not getting anywhere with this one either?
COME ON PEOPLE!
[*]Broke Carmen Sandiego’s heart so badly, she never visited any of the named locales.
[*]An alarm clock might have prevented this song from ever being created.
[*]Reminding us of the song’s title at the start of every verse was a good way to get this atop the UK charts — something that should have been done with follow-up songs, apparently.
These are mine and are all songs from artists that I already covered in previous releases, all artists available on Rock Band only through customs.
So, Nyxyxylyth, are you saying none of our guesses are right? I thought a couple of them were pretty good.
That thing about the roadie, and the song named after his mother…I just don’t get it. I really tried.
Of course, the clues might pertain to songs I’ve never heard of, so there’s that.

I didn’t say that at all
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>The second hint (Vargas) had a near miss – you just need to get more specific.
There’s one Farottone and I didn’t mention – that’s a lock. The extra hints appear to have helped one more.
The mother hint is my favorite – but there’s just One More Day to get it right.
Of course, the clues might pertain to songs I’ve never heard of, so there’s that.That is a virtual certainty. I am very old, and I always favored the obscure.
The second hint (Vargas) had a near miss – you just need to get more specific.Pretty sure I named an exact song title. Can’t be more specific than that.
Old, I can go along with. Obscure, not so much.
I am very oldAre you sure? I haven’t seen you kick anyone off your lawn in a while.
