...I'm really bored.  let's play my new game.  it's a connection game.  I'm going to call it 'connect 2'. whoever correctly guesses the connection gets to post the next one.   can be vids, pics, words, or anything you want really.

OK, easy one to start. what connects:

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqlauwX_ums

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWo0BcPgtGU

???

They're both posted on the most rubbish thread ever

lolz wp papa smurf.

your turn.

 rotflmfao ;tightend;

::)

If no one wants to play with me I'm going to drink, watch telly, and think of some other equally interesting stuff to post on this rubbish thread.

You gone on some sort of Jebus kick?

nope - totally wooshed ???

Go on, I'll get us going. They've both got songs called Valerie.

Right then, from the Zutons to.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyl5DlrsU90

wheee - skippy is my new best friend :)

um, is it that they're both from liverpool?

But is it okay to assume that his link is the same one that you were thinking of and carry on? You could have had in mind that they use the same hairdresser for all he knows.

well yes, ordinarily it would be for the person that posted the original to confirm first, but in this case i was happy to let any guess through.

it so happens skippy was correct though.

FFS - I put proper effort into looking up the lyrics of both songs and thought it might be some religious connection.  I'm just crap at these games.   ;marks;  

ah - overthinking ftl.

do you want to do the next one? (doesn't have to follow from FGTH)

Isn't he meant to have a second one to go with his first?  Otherwise how can we connect the dots?  Not that I could anyway, but beside the point.  See, I'm really rubbish at this. 

Prophetic title itt

nah skippy was linking zutons to frankie goes to hollywood. my guess was coz they're both from liverpool but he's buggered off now (think i might have scared him with my new best friend talk) so can't confirm.  any rules are out the window now anyway, so go ahead with two new ones if you want.

i've got the gift

What is the connection between a bent sixpence, a torn flag and a tube of glue?

Are we back to Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

are they all in your coat pocket or something?

Come on, put some effort in.

There re rules about how you can dispose of them.

Has he buggered off as well?

I'm going to put one - what is the link between Tony Jacklin and Graham Taylor?

Same school

Geo

Still here. and you're not even warm.

clue please tom

Well done - same class in fact, according to Jim Smith, a director at a company I used to work at, who was also in their class (in Scunthorpe, wherever that is).

He also said that Taylor was the school bully.

Spoonerisms.

Odd one out

right.  erm. thinking out loud here -

bent tanner = tent banner

rent banner = bent ranner

tube of glue.  ermm......

this post is the odd one out because it belongs in the 'odd one out' thread not the 'connect 2' (or 3) thread

Connect 2 of the vids in a way that the other vid is not connected with either of them please :)

It's ridic easy.

is it that none of them are spoonerisms?

Very good.
 
One is a battered tanner, the other is a tattered banner.

Yep. Sorry about disappearing act- should have thought of that before I answered.

i feel like i'm setting up a punchline here but...........what about the tube of glue?

Correct! But that's not the answer I was thinking of. :)

It's a band member thing.

i was going to go with the spin doctors/d:ream/new labour connection, but presumably wrong too.

i don't know any of the band members in d:ream or the spin doctors.  are any of them called Freddie?

You do, you just don't know it pet ;)

I knew you would get stuck on that....

groan.

any time you need a straight woman.

actually.....

Aha.  I cheated and looked on wikipedia.

is it to do with space?

Afraid so mate.

Wikipedia is your friend Claire. Did you get the other one?

Spin Doctors are the only band without a doctor in it?

May & Cox are astrophysicists. Not sure about the Spin Doctors. Unless Cox & May are 'spin doctors' in a sub-atomic particley way.

who is a doctor in queen?

It was a guess as they all seem quite clever.

meh that sounds right.  I still prefer my connection of brian cox likes space and freddie mercury has the name of a planet.

i had to really stop myself typing something else then.

haha brilliant :D

Brian May was doing a PhD in Astrophysics but then he stopped, played guitar for some band called Queen for a while, then went back in the last few years and completed it, and published a very nice book on the Big Bang.

The spin doctors contain no doctors, so they're basically lying.

As for Brian Cox ....YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nptDP35Tb0

outrageous.  we'd better lock them up with the magicians.

Good call Claire. Don't get me started on psychics ....YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP1gaD70grg

Find.a.deeper.voice.in.popular.music.challenge.

Isn't Brian Cox like Richard Bacon?

is this a new connection for us to guess, or just an observation?

All the info is contained in the vids if you're reaaaaaaaaaaaally observant.

um, didn't pete burns have a coat made from gorilla hair or something? is that of any relevance?

edit: this makes no sense now :D

i think so.  there was one about keith moon earlier.

all too confusing for me.  i'm going to bed imo.

It was for Chantelle Houghton, that clip, but Pete was so offensive I removed it. She's quite a nice link in to the theme though.

errm, I didn't post that

Mine were fake/virtual. Gorillaz has virtual band members, Chantelle was from a virtual/made-up band, the japanese singer in the middle is fake, her face is a composite of the other band members. Had them fooled for months.

This is a little tough, you need to listen to the Stranglers lyrics, and like certain types of literature.

    Just then they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that rise from that plain. And no sooner did Don Quixote see them that he said to his squire, "Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless."

    "What giants?" ; Sancho Panza.

    "Those you see over there," replied his master, "with their long arms. Some of them have arms well nigh two leagues in length."
    "Take care, sir," cried Sancho. "Those over there are not giants but windmills. Those things that seem to be their arms are sails which, when they are whirled around by the wind, turn the millstone."
 
  —Part 1, Chapter VIII. Of the valourous Don Quixote's success in the dreadful and never before imagined Adventure of the Windmills, with other events worthy of happy record.

I guess I'm write so here's one with a one word answer....

good luck...

this is all getting much more intellectual than I intended!

nice one MintTrav

 ;applause; No more heroes any more, except Delboy. wp wp

Ok, first a couple of easy one's. Then i'll post a more difficult one.

First one, what connects The Jesus And Mary Chain

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EgB__YratE

With Primal Scream

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8VZKTzoP_U


Second one, what connects Stiff Little Fingers

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYoNYuUVk0

with The Jam

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS0vyagyEc8

I googled that one. the answer was that someone I've never heard of and someone I didn't know was dead died in the same room

That's kind of why I deleted it. It was the old Mama Cass / Keith Moon one. But then I thought that the old-timers had seen it too many times already and the youngsters would say 'Mama Who?'

wheee - i must be a youngster!

I was surprised to find that keith moon was dead and that happened 34 years ago

how on earth did you get the bullshit mod gig?

She's the one in the tent:

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-aK6JnyFmk

no keith moon questions on the entrance exam innit

Sticking with The Mamas and Papas (as we're all such big fans), what is the connection between John Phillips & Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and Papas and Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys (apart from drink & drugs). The clue is in the question.

Did Brian and Michelle have a daughter who became a famous singer?

SLF and The Jam both contained Bruce Foxton at different times. Not sure about J & MC/Primal Scream link

You're so on the right lines. The connection?

Well wilson Phillips were an awful (imho) US group in 80's? Were they the offspring of the two families?

You got it - Wilson Phillips.

Michelle & Chynna Phillips are the only mother and daughter to have both been No 1 in the US on separate recordings.

Bobby Gillespie played drums in the Jesus & Mary Chain and obviously is the front man for Primal Scream.

these two are connected by on person. who? and how?

Can someone explain how you post the You tube screen and not just the link.

Cheers
Kev.

click on the youtube button just under where all the playing cards are and then stick the link in between the brackets

Thanks Gatso.

clue pls

The one word clue is 'spouse'

Ok, looks like you need more of a clue

the song 'Highway Patrolman' inspired the film 'The Indian Runner' directed by Sean Penn

this connection is starting to sound more and more dubious.  how many degrees of separation are we talking?

sean penn married madonna, madonna sang holiday, people go on holiday to the coast, the coast has cliffs, sherlock holmes is falling off a cliff?

amazing

who directed sherlock holmes?

guy ritchie?

so the 'connection' is that madonna's ex hubby directed a film i have never heard of which was inspired by the bruce springsteen song you quoted and her other hubby directed a film related to the picture you posted.

i think gatso's answer was better tbh ;D

I'll be back with another proper one when i've thought of it!

ok, what connects:

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8l-9nuXkDo

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BxifcP3qQE

the wombats played at the 09 super league grand final as did all angels

all angels supported katherine jenkins on tour

no mine is a proper link, not a link to a link to a link

I thought seeing as del's set the bar for ridiculousness of connections we may as well go all out

Both made cameos in Soaps?

Wombats - Neighbours
Katharine - Emerdale

Geo

it's good but it's not right.

(were the wombats really in neighbours or did you make that up?) edit - oooh seems they were.  if anyone can find a clip they can be my new best friend.

did you know that off the top of your head without asking mrs geo?

You obviously know who the one with brains is here, however it was something I picked up a while back, am now frantically looking for other links

Geo

watch/listen to the clips if you've not already

3:45

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZILtBevAU8

with my dad

awesome!  ty new best friend geo!

nothing to do with brains, you just don't strike me as a neighbours/emmerdale person

ok clue time.  the link is not between the artists, but the pieces of music.

Tikay would have insta got it if he ever read rubbish threads like this.  Better send him over to show you lot how it's done.

Airline adverts

(had to look up the Wombats one though)

Geo

wheee - well done Geo!

What connects these three:

Eugene Cernan
John W young
James Lovell

And of the three who is the odd one out?

Geo

:( I don't even know who any of them are!

What's the connection between Elvis

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q04_ClDxRsk

And The Wedding Present

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RR7nuIjRvQ

yeah this. the connection is that no-one knows who any of them are

the odd one out is john w young

they both appear in the now that's what i call the greatest music thread ever thingy

TBH I didn't think it would have been that difficult, it's not a musical link

I'm going to call it 'connect 2'. whoever correctly guesses the connection gets to post the next one.   can be vids, pics, words, or anything you want really.

And Gatso is wrong with the odd one out (apart from the only one listed with a middle initial)

Geo

yeah no problem with it not being musical, i just don't know who they are.  will leave it for someone what is more cleverer than what i am.

hurrah, I know who they both are. and they share some record for most hits in a year or summat

This could be fairly difficult. The answer is quite surprising.

is it not what I just said then?

Yep, good knowledge. They share the record for the most top 40 singles in a year.

woooo. that was when I was about 18, the wedding present released a single a month for a year

Correct. 1992. They deleted them all after  a week, so you had to buy them straight away which was enough for them to reach the charts. They were quite valuable at the time, i remember the first 2 or 3 selling for £50 at record fairs. Until they went and released them all on a compilation cd.

Well they're deffo all US astronauts. I'd guess they were the last to go to the moon on Apollo 17. Young didn't land and stayed in the command module.

Getting close Jack, they are all astronauts, but what have they achieved that other astronauts have not?

Only Cernan was on Apollo 17

Geo

Been to the Moon twice. Lovell never stepped foot on it, but went round it twice (8 and 13). The other 2 orbited on Apollo 10, then landed on later missions.

Well done Rex

Geo
