What Do I Do If I Get This Job?
Jobs & Education0 min ago
The most fiendishly and ridiculously difficult music question ever to grace AB
Seriously - you have to be an utter music nerd to get this one:
In terms of album titles, what do Sade, Elton John and Dire Straits have in common?
It's quite unique.
I heard this question back in the very late eighties and to my knowledge, I believe these are the only three artists this applies to. The only clue you have is that it relates to album titles and songs.
MarkRae/Steve.5 - I will feast on your tears as you struggle, and fail together the answer.

A hamper from Fortnum and Masons is on its way to you (except, of course, that it isn't).
Full answer:
They've all released albums that have titles which refer to lines from hit singles from that album, but don't contain songs with the title:
Sade released an album called 'Diamond Life' which has no song on it called 'Diamond Life, but the phrase is mentioned in the single 'Smooth Operator
Diamond life lover boy
We move in space with minimal waste and maximum joy
Elton John released an album called 'Ice On Fire', which has no song on it called 'Ice On Fire', but is referenced in the single from that album, 'Nikita':
Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
Dire Straits released an album called 'Making Movies' with no song called 'Making Movies' but in the song 'Skateaway' on that album, is the line:
She gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
And a rock n roll dream
She's making movies on location
