Name That Tune

Just how many musical references are there in BadLands RPG?
How many can you identify? Now try it with your eyes open!
I can think of a few, just off the top of my head. No doubt there's more. Some might be accidental. Clearly, most are intentional.

The winner will receive an all expense paid trip to beautiful downtown (where do you live again?)
The winner is responsible for all travel cost, housing, meals, hospitalization, tips, bail, bar tab, lodging, .... Don't forget to take your laptop so you play BadLands in our lovely lobby on our free WiFi (a rate of .25 will be applied to all out of town guests).

So hurry now and get your entry in early!

Not like any of you would know but every single one of my chars surnames are a substyle of flamenco. I'll keep my eyes open for other stuff.

Since you guys seem to be stumped, I'll give you a clue.

The boss, Black Sabbath, is named after a British Rock Band, Black Sabbath. His drop, a set of Monk Gloves, are name after a a song by Black Sabbath, "Snow Blind".

After many years of being a worldwide name, they disband and Ozzie Osbourn went solo taking his old music to "new" ears.

How could I forget, the guards in crystal city with their "the devil made me do it" is a song from Golden Earring.

Black Betty. Originally an 18th century folk song has been re-done many times by many artists. Spiderbait and Ram Jam are the most current.

Woah, Black Betty

You are correct! You have just won a new G-String for you and your guitar!

How about a new boss. A Bard / RDD / PM named "Bam ba Lam". Child of Black Betty and Black Sabbath. Maybe a subrace (new?) that get good SR.

I guess all you kiddies never heard of "Tower of Power". I think it was a 70's disco thing, not my thing. I'm more of a Deep Purple / Metalica lady.

Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Power says it was a 70's SOUL thing.

Still, not my first choice in music to relax with. If it's too loud, you're too old.
