Ha! Frank wondered if there would be any alternate matches. This one uses a previously used song, though I can't get over the fact that there's actually a "Sensation" song in the game with INXS....

21. Overnight SENSATION + 95. Those Were The DAYS = 91. INXS (NEW SENSATION) + 23. Chicago (OLD DAYS)

86. Goo Goo Dolls (BLACK) + 37. Yellow BALLOON = 14. Billy Idol (WHITE) + 74. The WEDDING song

Yeah, I realized too late that this might screw things up. It will straighten itself out.

I got just one and it's probably an alternate.

53. Get Out of My DREAMS Get Into My Car + 63. No More TEARS (Enough Is Enough) = 1. Beyoncé (SWEET DREAMS) + 91. INXS (BITTER TEARS)

Yes, it is. Dang. INXS managed to get themselves into TWO alternates!

94. JUST LIKE Me + 52. WHAT THE World... + HEAVEN/HELL = JUST LIKE HEAVEN (12. THE CURE) + WHAT THE HELL (40. AVRIL LAVIGNE)

And this might be a better match with INXS:

13. ...Friend OF MINE + 45. Living INSIDE Myself + ANGEL/DEVIL = ANGEL OF MINE (58. MONICA) + DEVIL INSIDE (91. INXS)

90. BE MY BABY + 61. MY LOVE + ALWAYS/NEVER = ALWAYS BE MY BABY (31. MARIAH CAREY) + NEVER MY LOVE (7. THE ASSOCIATION)

97. You TURN ME On... + 34. HOLD ME Now + LOOSE/TIGHT = TURN ME LOOSE (22. LOVERBOY) + HOLD ME TIGHT (72. JOHNNY NASH)

85. A hymn to HIM + 36. DO YOU really want to hurt me? + FORGET/REMEMBER = FORGET HIM (88. Gary Lewis and the Playboys) + DO YOU REMEMBER (20. Phil Collins)

Bobby Rydell also did Forget Him. Just in case we need that to make the matches work.

83. There. I Said It AGAIN + 61. MY LOVE = 10. The Cars (HELLO AGAIN) + 93. James Brown (GOODBYE MY LOVE)

And naturally, the hardest working man in this Tangredi game comes up again in my next match I find.... so one of these has to be an alternate...

39. Skinny LEGS and All + 51. Gonna Make You SWEAT = 2. Rod Stewart (HOT Legs) + 93. James Brown (COLD SWEAT)

I'm betting on Rydell. I have a feeling that we may need "This Diamond Ring" to make "Diamond Girl" for Seals & Crofts. Of course, we'll have to find a "Boy" song to pair with it. There are only, like, 38,000 "Boy" songs out there.

I think the Hot Legs/Cold Sweat match is correct. There are a lot of "Goodbye" songs out there, so we're probably looking for a more well-known one.

Aha... I found this one:

54. SHAKE IT Off + 78. FOLLOW YOU Follow Me + UP/DOWN = SHAKE IT UP (10. THE CARS) + FOLLOW YOU DOWN (27. GIN BLOSSOMS)

"Follow You Down" has to be correct. If "Shake It Up" is the correct match to it, then we know that the Cars can't go into the Hello/Goodbye match and the Hot Legs/Cold Sweat match is correct. Too bad that we don't have Neil Diamond in this game because he also had a hit called "Hello Again".

Time for another consolidation. We have an unexpected (and unnecessary, IMHO) snow day here in river country, so I'll try to knock out a few more of these while I'm procrastinating today.
