    It is six thousand degrees in my house and I am dying and OH MY GOD I HATE SUMMER I LIVE IN CANADA IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS WARM but here’s a hint thread anyway!

    • Proof positive that Trojans breaking can lead to a shortage of periods.
    • Even if you brought all the participants together, it would be somewhat difficult to faithfully re-create the break/bridge from this song in the band’s native California.
    • Though nearly 50 years old, this somewhat snarky tune about #richpeopleproblems would be just as relevant today.
    • Top ten charter. Countless covers. Thirteen covers by Rock Band artists. Three of those charted. One is in Rock Band. Cowbell is no remedy.
    • Six hundred nanometer quiescently frozen confection.
    • This act has had a track feature in a Harmonix game each year from 2005 on. This week, we keep that streak alive.
    • Though the band would rebound, this seasonal track was released as a single in the UK, where it flopped and broke a run of hits. One could say the band failed to maintain their streak… *puts on sunglasses* [insert title here].
    • No, it’s not a typo. It’s a different take. And the single. Not the album version.
    • The fact that this is the third YouTube search result for this single, only two of which are spelled ‘correctly’, is somewhat depressing.
    • Rebecca Black’s seminal hit is almost a spirtual successor to this 60s track, from a discussion of driving adventures, to being performed by California talent, and even right down to a popping the original track’s title into the chorus. Fortunately, this song was not a total trainwreck, and cruised comfortable to #5 on the Billboard charts.

     

    Also there might be a couple of other hints once I get some feedback so stay tuned!

    [*] Top ten charter. Countless covers. Thirteen covers by Rock Band artists. Three of those charted. One is in Rock Band. Cowbell is no remedy.

     

    From the clues it must be something from the Black Crows <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

    And after You Tubing that good awful song i’m guessing this is Fun Fun Fun by the Beach Boys.

    The first one is maybe the band Fall of Troy? Google says there is a thing called FCPREMIX (excluded periods – typing on iphone)

    What’s wrong with the Beach Boys? Man I love me some Beach Boys songs. My wife outright hates them now because of the Good Vibrations song on RB3 :v:

    Wow, these’ are tough. At the least the clues seem to imply some older songs this week. Had to pass on a LOT of releases lately.

     

    Clue #5 seems to be referring to an “orange Popsicle”. Got nothing beyond that.

    I think the song that RBPUK was referring to as ‘good awful’ was the Rebecca Black song.

    You’re right. But just in case, we need people to form 2 orderly lines. One of people who like/love The Beach Boys, on the right, and one of people who doesn’t, on the left, right where that thing that looks like a trapdoor with crocodiles underneath is. Thank you.

    Yea, I’m pretty sure it’s referencing F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. Shame, I was just about to finish my full band chart of it.

     

    Very good hints though.
