Here’s a game to while away the hours while you wait for Santa (only six more sleeps!). The idea is to create the longest chain you can using artists’ names and the songs they sang – which are also artists’ names. Let me give you an example:
Aretha Franklin sang a song called Dr. Feelgood. There was a group (possibly still is) called Dr. Feelgood who sang a song called Roxette. The group Roxette sang a song called The Look, etc., etc.
How long will your chain be?
Come on someone, this should be fun!
I’ll have a think on my way to work.
The Look sang I am the beat…
The Beat had a song called Rotating Head
Head released an album called tales of ordinary madness
Madness released a song called The Prince
Prince released a song called Kiss
Kiss released a song called…er… (the two I don’t know don’t work)
Kiss released an album called Creatures Of The Night
The Creatures released an album called Feast
.Feast released an EP entitled Beberapa Orang Memaafkan
Orange had an EP called Dead Sexy
The Grateful Dead…
Whilst thinking of something to follow “Dead”, here’s a five chain I managed at a very boring meeting this morning:

The Vibrators – Stiff Little Fingers
