Welcome to another special sightly late hint thread! This week we will have a themed pack plus some other stuff:

• This song is all about the love for obscure English sport, upbeat music and the Caribbean
• This song is about fear, much like the other 4 songs from the same set from the same band
• This song might be one of the few things most skaters and anime fans will agree on is awesome
• This song is beyond any reasonable doubt the most famous instrumental song of its genre… or is it?
• This song reminds me of Bond, James Bond
• Michael McDonald is featured on this felony themed hit
• FIRE!

 

Happy guessing!

The sixth song is “Sweet Freedom”.

 

Is the fourth one “Axel F” or “Rockit”?

 

The last one makes me think of “For Those About to Rock” but I doubt that’s right.

Hint one is 10cc’s Dreadlock Holiday

 

The last hint makes me hope it’s REM’s The One I Love, but a full-album download of Electric Six’s Fire album would be very much welcomed also ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

I believe the second one is by Rush.

Good catch – 10CC sounds right.

 

“The One I Love” was converted some time ago, so grab it and enjoy. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

 

I wonder if there is a Jamaica/reggae-themed pack this week?

 

Doesn’t seem likely, but the James Bond hint brought to mind the song “007 (Shanty Town)” by Deskond Dekker. I suppose it’s too much to hope for a 1st wave ska fan in the charting community. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Number three might be One Fine Day by The Offspring? I remember reading a couple years back about how some anime directly ripped from that song…

 

Found it!

 

Song from anime:

Original for comparison:

OK, guys, I got this figured out based on what everyone’s said so far…

 

Song #1 is “Dreadlock Holiday” from the album Bloody Tourists

Song #2 is by Rush from their “Fear” song series

Song #3 is “One Fine Day” by The Offspring from the album Conspiracy of One

Song #6 is “Sweet Freedom” from the movie Running Scared

 

So…”Bloody” + “Fear” + Offspring’s flaming skull logo + “Scared” = Friday the 13th themed pack

 

Now just fill in the blanks.

[ventolin]

I thought the instrumental song would have been Madness’ One Step Beyond (which it still could be), but it may make more sense (if it’s a Friday 13th theme) to be Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells

[Cmdr Xym]

Maybe #5 is “Live and Let Die”?

[funkydunkleman]

I’m going to assume the Bond hint does not mean a theme song.

 

I’m going to put my money on Goldfinger (the band). Maybe Superman? Their cover of 99 Red Balloons?

[Cmdr Xym]

How does Goldfinger fit with the Friday the 13th theme?

[Farottone]

How does Goldfinger fit with the Friday the 13th theme?

 

Howe sure are we that it’s a Friday 13th theme? How sure are we that all hints refer to songs in the pack?

[Cmdr Xym]

Reading the original post again, yes, I suppose not all 7 songs are part of the themed pack. Depends on how you read it. Most of the clues, though, do fit.

[MiltoniusPrime]

Howe sure are we that it’s a Friday 13th theme? How sure are we that all hints refer to songs in the pack?

 

The Riptides, “Friday the 13th”

[TrojanNemo]

If there is a Friday 13th release and we don’t get Vico C’s Viernes 13 I’ll explode.
