Yikes after my 2nd guess there were six possibilities for the first letter, and only four guesses remaining. Some luck required to get it at all, let alone on the first try.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

26 - A song with amazing bass playing

Mint Field - Quiero Otoño de Nuevo (Live on KEXP)

One of my favorite songs, by the amazing Mint Field. This live version is less polished, but the bass playing is highlighted and totally fits today's prompt.
