The YouTube Jukebox Game

Time for a new game. This one may well be suitable for party's or at least bored parties.

The group decide on a theme and anti-theme, such as War and Peace.
The objective is to play music videos linked by some nugget of information until the original theme goes all the way to the new theme. The link can be session musicians, titles, cover versions, other work, previous bands, etc.

Player one goes to YouTube and selects their favourite music video ( original artist if possible ) based on the initial theme ( such as War by Edwin Star ).
Player two must then make the choice of video, but it must be linked. ( such as 25 Miles by Edwin Star ).

So it goes until one player makes it to the theme of Peace. ( such as Give Peace a Chance by Lennon )... this may take some time but will be an interesting musical journey.

1) War by Edwin Star
2) 25 Miles by Edwin Star (same artist)
3) 2000 Miles by The Pretenders (same subject of miles)
4) Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks (Ray Davies relationship with Christie Hynde)
5) Waterloo Sunset by David Bowie (cover version)
6) Fame by David Bowie (same artist)
7) Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon (Lennon co-wrote Fame)

...done! Player One wins.
