Sounds Christmas-y.
Perhaps the glowing ember is from one of their Christmas specials.

Since we are approaching the holiday season, this is a good and reasonable guess, WJ7!
However, as you have deduced from game #5 and previous ones, "I see something..." could be based literally on a detail from a picture or album art, or be something that is sparked in our minds by the lyrics of a song, which opens up the possibilities. The present game is of the latter type.
Clue #2:
I see smoke and ash piling up in a tray

How about "Merry Christmas Darling".
The song speaks of logs on the fire ... and thus the imagery of glowing embers, smoke, hmm - no ash piling up in a tray.
So probably not right, but maybe it's a way to eliminate things.

It's not "Merry Christmas Darling", but you are getting warmer in the proper way to interpret the clues.
Clue #3:
I see a habit that many people consider to be a "vice" that one tries hard to get rid of...

Yes, the answer is the imagery conveyed by the lyrics "... put on my shoes and LIGHT A CIGARETTE..." from "Honolulu City Nights." The Carpenters did an outstanding cover of the original by Keola and Kapono Beamer. I don't know if Karen smoked or drank much --- if any --- in real ife, but these lyrics and the phrase "... and we talked about some old times and we drank ourselves some beers ... " from "Still Crazy After All These Years" provide striking visual contrasts against the wholesome image that was typically associated with Karen. Beaner, you were the first the guess the answer correctly, so it's back in your court! |

Beaner, you were the first the guess the answer correctly, so it's back in your court! I do know this much Karen did not smoke at all. I remember hearing her say that she doesn't do anything which could alter her singing voice which includes smoking. I really doubt she even drank liquor as liquor dries out the vocal chords. If she did drink it had to be very little. I think she didn't smoke or drink not because she wanted to maintain the "good girl" image... because we all know Karen wasn't really interested in keeping that image whatsoever. I think she was so obsessed with keeping her voice as pure as possible that she went to lengths to keep it that way. Hey, Beaner... looking forward to Game #7  |
