    I added Pink and Tool. What do you think of Contortionists for the acrobats? I googled and they are a band?

    Funny! I added them all. :) And yes I put Tool in for the sledgehammer. Actually Sledgehammer is a tribute band, but?

    U2 is written "U U" on the wall by the tv's, and yes the gorillas are Gorillaz.

    Someone suggested the Stray Cats and Pet Shop Boys, but I don't see either of those. Where are they, should I add them to the list?

    Hi Curious! I have these that aren't on your latest list:

    Bee Gees
    Blues Brothers
    Tool
    Contortionists
    Pink
    Kylie Minogue

    That would put us over the 74! I think you're right, in that people can find more than was originally intended. ;)

    That was fun...thanks a bunch!

    I'm going to take this to Thanksgiving and give my relatives a test! :)

    No, I think the images can have more than one meaning. Someone else actually posted the Ramones logo. You're right. I think it can be both. Just like the Eagles or Black Crowes also being Byrds. That is kinda the fun of something like this. People see more out of it than was even originally intended. :)

    sex pistols...the queen holding the guns w/ pink dildos.

    also i think there are some bands being used twice...like presidents of the usa and dead kennedys...i guess they are going by the pics of rfk and jfk, only jfk was pres. also the pixies and kylie minagoguesomething...it doesn't really look like tinkerbell and seems kind of an obscure reference...but who knows.

    oh, and the monkees and gorillaz...they are either monkeys or gorillas and they are obviously gorillas

    I tend to agree with you, but it's all fun. I like how everyone comes up with different answers. But, I still don't think we have an answer on the three girls skipping?

    yeah, you're right...and i've been racking my brain about those 3 girls skipping since i saw the thread!

    i can't believe i didn't even notice the dead kennedy one (one of my fav bands) or the yellow man one, a few months ago i saw some old tapes in a store and they had all these yellow man ones that made me laugh

    after hours of thought, the three girls represent Run DMC. Assuming the gals are named D, M, and C respectively.

    ive got nothing
    Have you ideas on how this life ends?

    I would say the surfers are Nada Surf. Think about it. They are walking down the street with surfboards. no water in sight.
