Yeah, I think we need something different to keep our brains sharp, either in figuring out the answer or in selecting the question songs.

"I'll Be" and "Love Shack" were easy, the hard one was finding another song with "tin roof" in it that didn't have it in the title. Many songs have titles with "Tin Roof" in them. Then I noticed Fiddler and I thought that would make it a little harder since it's not in the same genre.

Billy Mays wrote:"Tin Roof" is said in the lyrics at:

If I Were a Rich Man 1:15

Edwin McCain, I'll be 1:37

B52's, Love Shack 4:43

Which is also a type of ice cream.

Congratulations, you got it! I was afraid I'd made this one too hard.

Aw come on, doesn't anyone have an idea?

Here's another hint: a physical object.

Aww, come on, someone must have an idea. Here's videos of the three songs, and try. I'll give a hint.

#1 - If I Were a Rich Man

Here's a very subtle hint for you, Jonsey. "Think about ice cream." Or anybody else.

Damn, that's not too bad, and I wish I'd thought about it. No, but you are very slightly warm.

What are three songs that have never been in my kitchen?

by **Flack** » Tue Nov 01, 2016 5:29 pm

They're all songs that were mentioned in one of Paul's books.

Are they 3 songs destined to be on Robb's list?

One radio station used to play a game titled "My Three Songs" (playing the theme from "My Three Sons), in which they picked three songs and asked people to name what was the thing, idea or concept that related to all three.

For example, what do "Start Me Up," by The Rolling Stones, "I Melt With You," by Modern English, and "Anticipation" by Carly Simon have in common? They've all been used to sell a product (Start Me Up for Microsoft Windows; I Melt With You for Burger King's Whopper; Anticipation for Heinz Ketchup.)

So, for this example, what is in common with the songs
* "If I Were a Rich Man," from the play/movie "Fiddler On The Roof"
* "I'll Be," by Edwin McCain
* "Love Shack," by the B-52s

So anyway, yes or no questions and let's see if anyone can get it.
