try combining those words with other 2-4 word things
istanbul was constantinople
here's a recipe although it's dependent on delete first character which is probably not desirable
"t" + "m"?
According to the "Infinite 2-Letter Alphabets" google sheet it's this.
Also using the element English works fine, you don't need English Name.
Here's a bunch of album names too, the ones I was able to get:
And some other TMBG related stuff too:
I got more, granted "Kiss Me, Son Of God" is missing the comma.
Getting TMBG from the other way around
For R, you can sub D, T, Acronym, Boxes, Outbox, Horror Movie, Mail Order Audrey, and I'm sure some other things. Actually, The Beatles works too.
Nice recipe simplification!
There are a few more routes, around 20 steps each. Interested?
A few more songs, some of which have sane lineages
I'm good since I already have the element.
Here's all the Here Comes Science songs I could find:
From searching the Discord server, seems like MarbleSphere got the first discovery for that Davy Crockett song.
"I dont't want the world, I just want your half."
I spent my time getting the word Your Soul just to get "Birdhouse in your soul" from combining Birdhouse and In.
I GOT FACTORY SHOWROOM!!! let me see if i can trace the lineage
tracing any further back would be a huge pain in the ass
Factory is a pretty basic word to get, there's a very easy guide for 'alphabet' [here](#1214815916957761586 message), and I'm sure there are lineages for Delete The Number Zero, Prepend Hashtag, and Put This In Quotation Marks floating around
Here's a quick lineage for "000". guides for "0"-"9", 'alphabet', and "alphabet" can be found in the relevant thread
a faster, semantic lineage for Factory Showroom by @ancient spindle #1226511876733669436 message
From Dugongue and Muril2k10, Factory Showroom in 32 (includes They Might Be Giants in 18): #1226511876733669436 message
Close enough?
AND IT WAS SO CLOSE TOO
Now playing: Severe Tire Damage
im 4 songs out from getting all of the songs on Flood. does anyone have lineages for Lucky Ball & Chain, Someone Keeps Moving My Chair, Hot Cha, or Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love?
I already have an element just called "sapphire bullets", but I want the full song title dammit!
here's a lineage for Theme From Flood. Prereqs are "alphabet", 'alphabet', Put This In Quotation Marks, Delete The Number 0, and "0". And of course the 2 letter combos seen in the lineage but those can be gotten via this spreadsheet
"alphabet"
"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j"
26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26,26 / 26
"aa",✔,"ba",✔,"ca",✔,"da",✔,"ea",✔,"fa",✔,"ga",✔,"ha",✔,"ia",✔,"ja"
"ab",✔,"bb",✔,"cb",✔,"db",✔,"eb",✔,"fb",✔,"gb",✔,"hb",✔,"ib",✔,"jb"
"ac",✔,"bc",✔,"cc",✔,"dc",✔,"ec"
We Want A Rock (prereqs are same as Theme From Flood, as well as "000" which is shown in the lineage for Theme From Flood
Lucky Ball & Chain
Women & Men (prereqs are the same as WWAR, except for the addition of With Spacing and Ampersand, both of which I'm sure are easy to find by scouring the server/infinibrowser... or you might just already have)
i wish there were an easy automatic way to make lineages like this but there isn't afaik
SURPRISE. i also spelled out road movie to berlin. like an ANIMAL.
i tried semantic lineages trust me
thank you!
Nice revival though
you mean to tell me it was that simple this entire time.
the one semantic combination i didn't try.
