so i d like to ask: if i bolded the whole "table eyed joe" sentence it would be legit correct? (just to be sure i understand the rules)

@cromag maybe so but i guess that by now its clear that this isnt about winning, right?

well my next thought was to stay on the same album by tom waits with "alice" but the name was already played so i m gonna go for this one:

John E. Smoke by the butthole surfers

ps @PoP sorry didnt understand the youtube instruction, can you be more detailed (i m kinda illiterate technology-wise...)

To post a YouTube video in the thread, you click on "YouTube" button on the tool bar, and then post the code at the end of the YouTube video's URL (the part after the "=" symbol).

To provide clarification, the entire name you are submitting should be made bold. As an example, if someone submits the song I mentioned at the beginning:

"Abraham, Martin, and John"

and they submit it as follows:

"Abraham, Martin, and John"

In the above example only "John" has been submitted for the game. Someone else can submit songs with the names "Abraham" and "Martin" as long as each is in the title of a different song (and each song can only used once).

Also, "Joe" can be used again as long as it is combined with a last name (or as part of a nickname). The entire name is considered a separate name for this game. As an example, the following are considered different names:

Joe
Joe Smith
Ugly Joe
Ugly Joe Smith

In the same way, nicknames are allowed as long as they refer to a specific individual (which includes fictional sentient beings such as cartoon characters who are basically humans in an animal skin [like Yogi Bear and Mickey Mouse]). Again, once a name has been used it is no longer available.

Also, the name must appear in the song's actual title. I previously mentioned a related example with the song "Fly Me To The Moon." The original title of the song was "In Other Words" but so many people called it "Fly Me To The Moon" (the opening words of the song) that it became its official title.

I hope this clarifies things.

@ PoP and solitaire1 thanks for the rules and youtube clarification
@solitaire1 with the nickname and the foreign language rules i m sure the game will never end
@ solitaire1 nice thread. i always liked concepts when listening (and even more when playing/broadcasting) music, they give you reasons to shuffle through the music you already know and also discover new music in an "arbitrary" way that i really like
@cromag thanks for the quote tip, didnt try it yet but i will.

I opted to highlight the name as "Lupe" due to this info at Wikipedia:
