SONG TITLE WORD ASSOCIATION

[nyadrn]

Okay

This is meant to be a long running topic .  The rules are simple and there are a zillion songs out there, so lets see what we can do with this.

You start with a song title.  Let's use  Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith

You look at that title, pick out one word from it and find a new song title with that word in it,( example, In & Out of Love - Bon Jovi)  then post the new title as your post.  The next person follows.   See easy

So lets give it a try.    My title is   Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith.

Hi cs76522381.  I'll attempt to explain a few things.  First we don't really have any rules other than to pick a word from the last posted song title and use it in another title.  Lately we have been putting both the last song and our new one, which helps with the confusion in case two come up at the same time.  After you post you can see if something has come in before yours so that where you thought you were using the last post, that's no longer the case.  In the upper right hand corner you will see the word "options" and when you click on that you will find that you can edit your post.

With any luck your word will be in both titles.  That is often the case if you've used a poplular word such as "love".  In that case you can just change the "From' Title and leave your choice alone.  Here's where it gets sticky.  If I've had to look for a new title I might post it and still be wrong.  I've even had it where two people have edited at the same time.  

I also make it a point to check back three or four posts to see if they appear to be in order and I attempt to keep the thread going.  There is no way for it to be perfect.  I just try to do the best I can and hope for the best.  Luckily this doesn't happen very often.  Good luck and welcome to the game.
