Back from the dead - it's Cars and Tuners #6 - Complete!
« on: May 22, 2016, 08:25:56 AM »
Here we go again - another match 'em game. In this puzzle, there is a selection of cars, as well as a selection of musical performers (AKA -pardon the pun - "tuners").

All or part of a pictured car will equate to a song title. 
Correctly match the song title with a pictured musical artist to win a point.

Answer should be phrased as follows:

Song # _, (song title) matches with Artist # _ (artist name).

To give everyone a shot at some points, this is open to all, from the get-go. However, once you make a pairing guess, you are not to make another guess until your guess has been deemed correct or incorrect.

How many can you match? Enjoy!  :)

Songs first:

No sir - neither the song nor the artist is correct.

As the great philosopher Yogi Berra once said, this is like déjà vu all over again, as I have found myself trawling the same web pages as in earlier "Cars & Tunes" puzzles, searching endlessly for songs with cars in their titles or lyrics. I suppose it keeps me off the streets. :D

I haven't made much progress yet, but I think I've come up with one for Song #1, where the picture shows a helpfully undisguised Studebaker STP Novi-engined Indianapolis racer from the 1960s. There are a few songs about Studebakers, but nothing that seems to fit, but moving on to STP, Youtube eventually came up with "I Call My Baby STP" by the Del-Vetts, who are artists #10.

Hey, that's sneaky!

I've been looking for a left-handed guitarist with a dog, but the picture has been reversed. :(

Not trying to be sneaky - trying to cheat-proof the puzzle. Many of the pics have been recolored, monochromed,  or reversed.

I may have violated the rules in doing so. To wit:

Quote
Rules, Part 1: Modification of posted pictures:

The following picture modifications are A-OK, and are considered by consensus to be acceptable.

1.   Change color, or change to black-and-white or sepia tone.
2.   Obscure or delete telltale background elements.
3.   Obscure or delete badges, logos and number plates.

The following picture modifications are not OK, and are considered by consensus to be unacceptable and unsportsmanlike.

1.   Replace design elements from one vehicle with those of another (wheels, grille, etc.)
2.   Photoshop modifications that change the basic configuration of a car (change a coupe to a roadster; make a Tyrelll  P34 a four-wheeled car, etc).
3.   Photoshop modifications that place a vehicle in an incorrect time or place.
4.   Reversing a picture to make an LHD vehicle appear RHD, or vice-versa.

I guess it didn't register that reversing a picture of a person was more-or-less the same as reversing a car pic. I will throw myself on the mercy of the court of editors and admins. Note: none of the car pics have been reversed; many are extensively cropped.

Half of the pairs are found and I'm kind of stuck.
Does song #2 contain the word Camaro in its title?

Another correct match - pretty lame song; dealers used to give away this record to promote the car. It's no wonder the Mustang outsold it :)

Song # 5 (Vegetable car) matches with Artist # 5 (Joshua Radin). It contains the lyrics "She drives a vegetable car. Diesel Mercedes green 2-door". I found this already some time ago, but couldn't match any of the pictures with Joshua Radin. Now I searched again, and there it was.  :D
