You are now embarked upon a journey that must certainly lead you to change your life forever! If you were never a special person, you are a special person now!

~Dr. Happy Harry Cox

Hello seekers, here we go again! Another Puzzle about cars, and songs abouts cars, and the artists who recorded those songs. This installment spans the scale from "this is ridiculously easy" to "what, are you kidding me, this is well-nigh impossible!!!.

The rules are thus: No points for naming one of these cars - they are all quite easy. The points will be awarded for identifying the artist (1 point each), the song (1 point each), and the correct pairing (1 point each) as represented by a corresponding picture of a car, or an automotive event. See? I'm giving clues already. I'm too good to you guys. Another tip: While many of these artist have gone onto more mundane walks of life, or that recording studio in the sky, and their records may be long-since out-of-print, there are no insider-only "you have to have the book" requirements. Patience and good detective work is all that is required to find the solution to all of these. The answers are all available to the general public (except maybe in China - D'oh! I gave you another clue).

So here they are. But beware, as Dr Cox warned all those years ago, it may turn out that everything you know is WRONG!

Looks like a great puzzle.

Thanks!

Back online - only one actual repost.

Artist 1, Billy Murray, should go with Car Song 3, the 1966 Oldsmobile full size. It's as merry an Oldsmobile as another.

Artist 3, David Hasselhoff, must obviously go with Car Tunes 8, "Jump in my Car", the car being Kitt, natch'rally.

João · « **Reply #5 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:08:04 PM »

I´ll try this one! Artist number #3 : David Hasselhoff - Car number #8 : 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am a.k.a. K.I.T.T,and Knight Rider Theme Song??

Ray B. · « **Reply #6 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:11:07 PM »

Hmmm... It seems that I gave this answer one minut after you, Joao, but with the song's name! (if I'm right about this that is...)

Allemano · « **Reply #7 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:15:41 PM »

Maybe too obvious, but ThirdCarTunesArtist3 is David Hasselhoff and I presume he matches ThirdCarTunesSong8 "Stay/Les kids de KITT", the K.I.T.T Pontiac Firebird Trans Am,

Allemano · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:17:14 PM »

GRRRRR!

Too slow!

Ray B. · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2010, 04:22:56 PM »

Artists 6 are The Happiness Boys, going with Car Song 2 "Since Henry Ford Apologized To Me" (since we already had "Henry's Made A Mady Out Of Lizzie" in another puzzle, it may be the right guess, doesn't it?)

Tom_I · « **Reply #10 on:** July 24, 2010, 05:50:35 PM »

ThirdCarTunesArtist 2 is Soul and R&B band Rose Royce. They should match with ThirdCarTunesSong 10, as their most successful hit single was Car Wash (1976).

No9: Merrill Moore, Car No12: Old Men and Old Women Are Going Home on the Street Car

I kid you not, this was a song

1 is Mr. Murray (of course you got him right

) , and Car/Song 3 about an Oldsmobile, but that's not a song in this puzzle.

Artist 8 is Luke McDaniel, but I didn't find the right song yet.

It was, but it's not a song in this puzzle. You have correctly identified Mr. Moore.

... and Car/Song 3(is) about an Oldsmobile, but that's not a song in this puzzle.

I don't quite understand what you mean by that. Not "In my merry Oldsmobile", and not to be paired with Jimmy Murray?

If so , I'd say that Car/Song 3 (1966 Olds 88) is "Roughouse 88", a 1969 LP by Artist 9, Merrill Moore.

Correct - "Merry Oldsmobile" is not in this puzzle.

No, Merrill's singing a different tune. Yes, that's an Olds 88. "Roughouse 88" is not part of this puzzle.

Tom_I · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2010, 05:58:55 AM »

Billy Murray (Artist 1) has already been identified, but to go with him, how about Song 12 "Gasoline Gus and his Jitney Bus" (1915)?

I've got a couple of possibilities for Artist 5 (Southern Culture on the Skids). How about Song 4, Dirt Track Date (1995)?
