Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly TRIAD: only for serious mindbending!

Nope. Each sang a song with a particular commonality in their titles.

Colors? Seems a bit of a weak link. Purple Rain, Big Yellow Taxi, and ??

...Red-headed woman

Did they all have a song called 'River'?

Don't know about "River", but Xben is half-right on the colors. The Joni Mitchell song XBen mentioned is the appropriate one for this Triad, and Prince and the Boss sang songs similar to that in what manner...?

All about colorful cars? Joni Mitchell: Big Yellow Taxi, Bruce Springstien: Pink Cadilliac, Prince: Little Red Corvette

Them's the three! (Would have been even cooler if I could have thought of another one with size, color and car.)

You're up, Quis.

New York
Istanbul
Tokyo

All three are, or have been in the past, the names of both a city and the province / prefecture / state that it exists in

They all used to have different names: New Amsterdam, Constantinople, Edo.

Bevis has the triad I was thinking of.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul (Istanbul)

Istanbul

Yay me! Dammit, now I've got to think of a new one.

OK, possibly quite a simple one this time...

Raven in The Teen Titans cartoon
Bubbles in The Powerpuff Girls
Timmy Turner in Fairly Odd Parents

They're all voiced by Tara Strong

That they are. I could also have included Toot and Princess Clara from Drawn Together, Omi from Xiaolin Showdown, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in The New Batman Adventures, Giggling Girl in the Clerks animated series, Scarlet Witch in X-Men (the recent animated series) and a whole hoard of others. In fact she's in almost every single US animated series (and a few non-animated ones as well) you can name. A very busy lady clearly.

Your go Chaim.

Anne Murray
Celine Dion
Bryan Adams

Yes, they're all Canadian singers. There's something they have in common that other Canadian singers do not.

Have they won Academy Awards for best song?

Nope.

Hint time: In a movie about Canadian Entertainment, these three are the only real-world Canadian Entertainers mentioned by name.

One Canadian athlete was also mentioned.

Are they all in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut? They certainly have a bit of a thing about taking the mick out of Celine Dion (and rightly so) in the TV series.

They are all mentioned in that movie.

And the athlete, of course, was Brian Boitano. The only four real-life Canadians mentioned by name in SP:BLU.

Over to you, Bevis.

Doesn't change the question or answer, but Boitano is American. Brian Orser is the Canadian skating Brian.

Holy cow, you're right. I guess that means that the three people I named were the only real-world Canadians mentioned by name in SP:BLU.

I still haven't seen it despite the fact I love South Park.

OK, new one:

Ruth Taylor
Carol Channing
Marilyn Monroe

All platinum blonde?

(A South Park fan who hasn't seen the movie? You're missing out, big time.)

Nope.
