Title: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle? Solved!
Post by: Otto Puzzell on March 06, 2011, 09:32:21 AM
Another Puzzle about cars, and songs about cars, and the artists who recorded those songs. This installment again spans the scale from "this is ridiculously easy" to "what, are you kidding me?!

The rules are as follows: No points for naming one of these cars - they are mostly 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. While many of these artist have gone on to other walks of life, or that recording studio in the sky, and though 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.

Enjoy!

Artist 5 is Mr. Richard Anthony Mansour, better known as Dick Dale, and I suppose he matches Vehicle A with his song 'Taco Wagon'?

Song M - Big Black Cad?


I'm sure Song A must be 'Taco Wagon', so artist 4 must be the De-Fenders, who did rather rousing version of that track!
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: barrett on March 06, 2011, 05:02:53 PM
That quote was very confusing.... was that 'No' to Big Black Cad, The De-Fenders and Taco Wagon?

Artist 4 is definitely The De-Fenders... however the singer they are backing is Ian Whitcomb.... so I suppose that could be Song M - too Many Cars on the Road with the lyric;
"Sitting with my baby
In my big black car"

?
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?

The quote indicated you had identified the artist correctly.

You have also correctly ID'd artist 4. I wiped out Mr. Whitcomb's face because he was not on the record in question. "Too Many Cars on the Road" is not anywhere in this puzzle

The De-Fenders song could be Song O - Deuces Wild
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: barrett on March 07, 2011, 10:58:28 AM
And Dick Dale could be song N - Blonde in the 406
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: Ray B. on March 07, 2011, 11:07:28 AM
Beaten by 8 minutes!

The 406 being the engine in this 1963 Falcon... (but it's song K, Barrett!)
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: barrett on March 07, 2011, 11:14:41 AM
I'm sticking with Song N....  ;)

And of course you're right!   :bag: I forgot to check what engine powered this baby. And there is a blonde in it too (Carol Linley maybe?)

That's it - the Ford Cougar 406 in this case. The blonde is not named in any of the versions of the photos I sourced.
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: Ray B. on March 07, 2011, 04:58:38 PM
I only made that guess because the car was featured in 1963 in a movie called Under The Yum Yum Tree with Jack Lemmon and Carol Linley. But the puzzle picture seems to predate this one.

"A" is not Taco Wagon.

Ooops! I got mixed up by this picture you stumble upon when googling taco wagon (and wondering why you had blurred it).

"Food Wagon" is not the title of the song either. I blurred the name to avoid confusing the issue.

Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: Ray B. on March 08, 2011, 09:20:14 AM
So it must be Song #J.
I don't know much about the model A fours, but on the other rod the carb seems to sit on top, which should make it a V8.
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?

J is Four Banger. Here's an enlarged shot of the 4-banger engine:  :)

2 Clues on (another!) snowy morning.

2. There are many types a food that wagon could dispense...

Band Nr15: ZZ & De Maskers from the Netherlands
and they had a song, simply called Cadillac. Still matched with Car M

Song O: Draggin Deuce' by the Super Stocks (band Nr13). If it's not right, then Aaron65, it's your turn (and thanks for your patience)
Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?

I am not American, which seriously hinders my ability to match the right band with the right song.

Band No7 is Jerry Cole and His Spacemen. And song is Drivin' Little Deuce (Song O)

Is Artist 6 the million(s) seller?  He looks very familiar.

#6 had a hand in some big sellers, but didn't record them to any great success.

Artist 11 and Song I: The Four Lovers and Joyride from 1955

That is indeed Frankie Valli's group (Frankie in front), The Four Lovers, who in 1956 released an album called Joy Ride, which included the song Joy Ride.

Title: Re: Oh, no! ANOTHER Cars and Tunes Puzzle?
Post by: pnegyesi on March 21, 2011, 05:05:01 AM
Song H shows a Mercury. Is the song Green Mercury by Clint Holmes (artist no6)?

Song O is a Model A Rod, right? Is the song about a hot rod, or a Model A hot-rod?

I'll have to look up the year at home, but believe it's newer.

"hot rod" is not in the title of either remaining song.

No sir.

And Song H is about one decade more recent than your 1954 guess

No. The name's rather generic, as it could be applied to any number of cars. It's not brand or body-style related

You're really working hard on this one, so I'm giving you a clue: The title of the song does mention relative scale. But remember, it's an American car ;)
