Hey everybody, welcome to the thirty-second knuckle-popping week of Name That Tune at Popdose. By popular acclaim, here are the rules:

The Rules:

• MAXIMUM THREE GUESSES between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play. An update of the list is when I post the entire list of correct guesses with the words “OFFICIAL UPDATE”.
• The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates, but may still be guessed if you have used up your regular three guesses.
• While I’m not going to be a stickler for spelling and punctuation, you must guess the correct musician and song title to a close approximation.

How the game is played:I have uploaded twenty-six very brief song clips. Most of the songs are well known; none of them are obscure. The clips are drawn from a variety of styles and decades. It’s likely that you’ll find a few of them instantly recognizable, while a few others you won’t know at all (but other people will, and you can’t hold it against them). There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 26). No acrostic this time. This week, the first 25 clips all have something in common that points to the identity of the Puzzle Song. Some songs may go unguessed the first time round. If songs remain unguessed after a day, I’ll provide clues and/or upload longer clips.

And here are the clips:

1. clip 1
2. clip 2
3. clip 3
4. clip 4

Hey everybody, welcome to the thirty-first scalp-scalding week of Name That Tune at Popdose. In these troubled times, a few simple rules can be a great comfort:

The Rules:

• MAXIMUM THREE GUESSES between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play. An update of the list is when I post the entire list of correct guesses.
• The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates, but may still be guessed if you have used up your regular three guesses.
• While I’m not going to be a stickler for spelling and punctuation, you must guess the correct musician and song title to a close approximation.

How the game is played: I have uploaded twenty-one very brief song clips. Most of the songs are well known; none of them are obscure. The clips are drawn from a variety of styles and decades. It’s likely that you’ll find a few of them instantly recognizable, while a few others you won’t know at all (but other people will, and they’ll probably be smug about it, too). There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 21). Once again, we’re doing an acrostic game: This time, the first letter of the name of the ARTIST for the first 20 clips spells out a clue to the identity of the puzzle song. (And of course, if the puzzle song is guessed early, that ought to help nail down the rest of the songs.) Some songs may go unguessed the first time round. If songs remain unguessed after a day, I’ll upload longer clips.

And here are the clips:

Hey everybody, welcome to the thirtieth cerebrum-soothing week of Name That Tune at Popdose. To celebrate Game 30, we’ve got thirty clips. It’s a nice easy week, and the rules? well, they’re still a bit hard-assed:

The Rules:

• MAXIMUM THREE GUESSES between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play. An update of the list is when I post the entire list of correct guesses.
• The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates, but may still be guessed if you have used up your regular three guesses.
• While I’m not going to be a stickler for spelling and punctuation, you must guess the correct musician and song title to a close approximation.

It’s likely that you’ll find a few of them instantly recognizable, while a few others you won’t know at all (but other people will, and you can’t hold it against them). There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 30). No acrostic this time. This week, the first 29 clips all have something in common that points to the identity of the Puzzle Song. I think they’re somewhat easier this week, which is why there are more songs; still, some songs may go unguessed the first time round. If songs remain unguessed after a day, I’ll upload longer clips.

And here are the clips:

Hey everybody, welcome to the twenty-ninth mind-mulching week of Name That Tune at Popdose. We’ve got a few rules, but not too many:

The Rules:

• MAXIMUM THREE GUESSES between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play. An update of the list is when I post the entire list of correct guesses.

There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 25). Once again, we’re doing an acrostic game: This time, the first letter of the name of the SONG for the first 24 clips spells out a clue to the identity of the puzzle song. (And of course, if the puzzle song is guessed early, that ought to help nail down the rest of the songs.) Some songs may go unguessed the first time round.

Hi everyone — Brian Ibbott here from the Coverville radio show/podcast here with the twenty-eighth edition of Name That Tune. Scraps was generous enough to offer me the chance to guest host this week, and I’m honored to do so. I hope that the clips I’m presenting below are able to maintain the quality (and difficulty) that you’ve come to expect form this feature. And while I’ve got your ear, if you like rare and unusual cover versions of songs, you might like my show, which you can find at Coverville.com. And now the rules, which haven’t changed:

The Rules:

• MAXIMUM THREE GUESSES between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play. An update of the list is when I post the entire list of correct guesses.
• The Bonus may only be guessed once between updates, but may still be guessed if you have used up your regular three guesses.
• While I’m not going to be a stickler for spelling and punctuation, you must guess the correct musician and song title to a close approximation.

How the game is played: I have uploaded twenty-three very brief song clips. Most of the songs are well known; none of them are obscure. The clips are drawn from a variety of styles and decades. It’s likely that you’ll find a few of them instantly recognizable, while a few others you won’t know at all (but other people will). There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 23). The second part is guessing the bonus (clip 23). And like last week, we’re looking for the first letter of the SONG TITLE for the first 22 clips. And what is the bonus? You’ll have to determine what the song title initials spell to find out. Some songs may go unguessed the first time round. If songs remain unguessed after a day, I’ll upload longer clips.

And here are the clips:

1. clip 1
2. clip 2
3. clip 3
