Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a song from the early '80s
I really didn't know what to call this one; and I don't really know how to introduce it, either. So I guess these vague sentiments will just have to do! The answer to the meta is a song from the early '80s. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=195217#p195217
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

- benchen71 costruttore · 4 mesi faThis meta was partly inspired by the Dire Straits song "Tunnel of Love", which explains why BOAT was clued with the words "low ride". Check out the music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAirINwjaxE.
- lbray53 3s · 4 mesi faLOVED this one. Great graphic in the grid.
- Darth 7:56 · 4 mesi faI went from In the Dark (Billy Squier 1981) to Upside Down (Diana Ross 1980) and Endless Love (Ross/Richie 1980)... until I finally saw the light at the end of the "tunnel"! ....I guess I missed the boat! :D Thanks, Ben. Happy Valentine's "week"!
- Meg 1:53 · 4 mesi faI thought it was a house…… of love….or something like that. Finally figured out how to include attraction. Nice one, Ben.
- Alvibu67 6s · 4 mesi faI thought it was Love Shack by the B-52’s but that was late ‘80s. Great song, too!
- MatthewL 🤓5:56 · 4 mesi faHad to try Opposites Attract first (who doesn't love MC Skat Kat), but then realized where you were going with this once I saw the LOVE and BOAT. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!
- DrTom 3s · 4 mesi faWell I lucked into this because I saw LOVE BOAT and the LOVE BOAT theme came out in the early 80's (late 70's). I saw the "magnetlike" shape and figured it was "attracting" the LO and VE above it - BRILLIANT, but wrong. "Hmmm, what is that Southern Hemisphere trickster up to..." then I saw the other LOVEs making a tunnel...TADA!!! I had some great other ideas (CARDIOVASCULAR ASBESTOS - Hearts on Fire, Frankie AVE/ALON "Fever", MATINEEIDOL ARON "Elvis Presley Burning Love". Luckily I saw the tunnel!!Great construction
- woozy 9:34 · 4 mesi faYep. Never heard of the song. But had to visualize what it is and .....
- ELSavage 🤓9:30 · 4 mesi faI was thinking House of Love (but that's a band formed in 1986), Love Shack (1989), and then the image and BOAT finally suggested Tunnel of Love, but I was dissuaded at first because I was thinking of the Bruce Springsteen song from 1987. Tried it anyway, just in case there was an earlier version I wasn't familiar with - and there was.
- KayW 🤓2:02 · 4 mesi faLOL. I saw the title "Attract", and all the LOVE clinging it to it. And got it stuck in my head that the big black shape was a LOVE MAGNET (a song I never heard of, circa 1979.) Then I saw the BOAT and tried to enter THEME FROM THE LOVE BOAT in as many variations as possible. Then I focused on the 2 long across entries and tried LOVE ON THE RUN and TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN. A whack on the head from Ben helped me see the light at the end of the TUNNEL. Nice one, Ben - thanks for the remedial help!
- DCBilly 3s · 4 mesi faI saw the visual pretty soon after filling the grid. Before solving I was worried that the shape was going to be a video game controller, which would be death for me. But instead it was a tunnel! Of love! With a boat floating through! And I knew the song from my years of spending too much of my spare change on these things called Compact Discs.
- benchen71 costruttore · 4 mesi faI have a large collection of CDs and I still buy them. (And when I can't buy them I burn my own!)
- DrTom 3s · 4 mesi faWell I’ll be darned, Springsteen did Tunnel of Love too.
- hoover 5s · 4 mesi faYeah, that's the one that fills the top of the results when you search for "Tunnel of Love."
- Shaun 13:37 · 4 mesi faNeeded nudge #2 to solve the meta. Fun one thanks.
- Carolyn 7s · 4 mesi faThanks for the nudges!
- Mg305 3s · 4 mesi faTunnel of Love is a Bruce Springsteen hit from 1987. Not the early 80s. Threw me off. I get the Dire Straits song of same name was released in 1980 but that’s a sort of obscure song in comparison and not even close to the Boss’s song in terms of cultural relevance…
- benchen71 costruttore · 4 mesi faYou forget that I am an Australian and the Dire Straits song was huge Downunder. I personally have never heard the Bruce Springsteen one!
- HeadinHome 🤓1:20 · 4 mesi faOkay, well after submitting anything I could find on Billboard top 100 for 1980-1985 containing anything remotely related to LOVE or cars (my guess at the blob), I submitted your shove-nudge, et voilà. Google says it was released 1987 (not “early” 80s - so I think I would have gotten this by my chart-scan method but for that one word in the prompt. Still, this was a creative puzzle and I salute you getting the letters to do that!!
- ajk 6:46 · 4 mesi falol cute. definitely needed all the nudges, and even then took a second to see the LOVEs.
