Greetings Rocksmith fans!
Today’s a bit different as we know all five singles headed to Rocksmith 2014 next week. While we aren’t sure if the release will be referred to as Yacht Rock Singles we are gonna call it that anyway!
It all started with a rather lengthy clue posted earlier today by @DanAmrich
Rotated and translated from QuickScript we ended up with:
O’Malley’s was the only watering hole in this sleepy little town. And down the hall I saw her sipping a concoction of pineapple coconut and rum.
I knew the curve of her face. I knew her smile in an instant. Oh it’s you she said icily. She only smile when she lied. I can only stay a little while, I said, ignoring her disapproval. But the way you’ve been treating my friends the sheriff and his buddies, she asked in mock surprise. You’re better off not listening to their advice with their samurai swords. It’s gone too far, Missus Perkins, I said abruptly. And you don’t have to tell me why the gossip gets to flying.
She glanced beyond me as if looking for a way out. “Sometimes I may forget what I’m doing, Missus Perkins, but I don’t forget what I want.” “Don’t say that”, she mumbled. I saw her hand tremble and decided to hold it. “I know it’s hard for you to say the things we both know”, I ventured. “Your love set me free.” She grabbed me like a hungry octopus.
Which referred to five different songs that each person on the forum figured out in less than four hours!
Yacht Rock Singles
- Rupert Holmes – Escape
- Doobie Brothers – China Grove
- Toto – Hold the Line
- Hall & Oates – Kiss on my List
- Michael McDonald – I Keep Forgettin’
On a personal note, Hold The Line has been a song I have been hoping to see on either Guitar Hero or Rock Band for years now. Extremely happy to see my dream come true yet again, thanks UbisoftSF!
Now this is variety! What songs are you grabbing next week? All five? None? Let us know!
Man these videos make me wish it was the seventies when people actually lived and not spent their time inventing a total dbag reality of whining and over analyzing everything.
Tina Morgan is prove that most women have bad musical tastes.
so many things wrong with this post 🙄
Agreed, can you stop with the sexist comments Mike? Never mind the fact that there’s a large chance that “Tina” isn’t even a real person.
Are you sure she’s not a real person? She’s an ignorant troll if I’ve seen one. I’m not sexist BTW. I just only use slurs to people who deserve it. Once again, I’m not a sexist.
Critics gonna criticize. Don’t let it bug ya.
That doubleneck in the Toto video…!
China Grove… awesome!!!
I am on board with this grab-bag of randomness.
More TOTO would be welcome.
Boooooring.
I’m in for 4/5. Not sure about McDonald.
Heh,heh vid above. . . Is that Han Solo ing? I see he found work after episode VI.
Great set, right up there with surf songs a few weeks back. I love that the developers have something for everyone. Dare I say it: some Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash… it doesn’t have to be “Rock”. Even Segovia.
All three of these guys are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so… And I’m in total agreement would love to see all three of those artists in the game.
Awesome! Seems to be a more bassy DLC. I wonder when they will actually release a real Rock-n-Roll DLC (meaning more like Elvis, not AC/DC)? It’s just weird we never had any….
Its not in the way that you told me…
Oh yeah. Buying the pack for that for sure.
I’ll be getting China Grove, Hold the line and maybe the michael McDonald one, it sounds like it’s got a good bassline… I’ll wait until the vids come out for that one. Interesting selection, pretty cool.
Now can we finally get that Admiral Cloudesly Shovell pack I’ve been wanting? What do you mean who the hell is that? 😀
Now this is fun. Im totally “on board” with classic songs with a theme. Awesome week.
Its been a while since my last purchase but sounds like its a full pack for me this time 😎
All of these songs are a little before my time, but can someone say truly classic!!!! I will take a few days of work to get some of these songs down.
Great Songs Rocksmith!!!!
Great pack. Just in time for my birthday on Wednesday. Thanks Ubi!
Well, I know all of these. I’ll probably buy all of these. I’ll get the Keyboard Expansion to make these songs really shine.
Oh wait, there is no Keyboard Expansion Pack.
Hell yeah!!!! These songs will be a lot of fun can’t wait till Tuesday. Is that a bass and guitar combo in the toto video? I didn’t know those existed
I hope this is a pack.
Reminded me that I should request some Moody Blues.
Moodey Blues… Yeah…
Forever Autumn
Nights in White Satin
Your Wildest Dreams
Looks good to me. Not my favourite Hall and Oats track, and I hadn’t heard that Michael McDonald song before (that I can remember), but it feels good to be able to put some money down for a change.
Looking forward to learning ‘Hold the Line’.
Hold the line and i keep forgettin are definates for me.
Really, though? “Escape”? I’d much rather hear an earlier song written by Rupert Holmes and performed by a band called The Buoys, that being “Timothy”. Anyone remember that? Trapped in a mine? Hints of cannibalism? Anyone?
THANK YOU for knowing about “Timothy.” The only song about cannibalism that ever cracked the top 40 (#17 in 1971).
He also wrote the stage musical “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and took home a bunch of awards for that.
can’t be yacht rock without Duran Duran…
Loving that half strat half P bass in the Toto clip.
Sweet pack, 2 of them are kinda odd though…
Not exactly the dlc I was hoping for but I’m a sucker for these corny oldies.
