Hey everybody. Welcome to the eleventh hair-pulling week of Name That Tune at Popdose. You know what I like at the start of a game? A set of clear rules.

The Rules (subject to modification in future games):

Hey everybody. Get your eardrums (and hammers and stirrups) ready for the tenth brow-bunching week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Rules are the order of the day! And here they are:

Hey everybody. Welcome to the ninth ear-boggling week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Because everybody loves rules, let’s do the rules first:

Hey everybody. Welcome to the eighth week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Let’s get the rules out of the way first:

Hey everybody. Welcome to the sixth game of Name That Tune at Popdose. Let’s start with the rules:

The Rules (subject to modification in future games):

• Maximum three guesses between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play.
• Clip 21 may only be guessed once between updates.
• 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.

For those new to the game, here’s how it works: 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, from the 1920s to the present. 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 main twenty songs. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 21). This time there’s no acrostic — no real puzzle, in fact — song 21 is just harder (I think) than the others. All the songs share something in common that will quickly become obvious, and the thing they have in common is truer of song 21 than any of the others. In addition, the order of the first twenty songs points toward song 21 (just not in a spelling way this time).

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
4. clip 4
5. clip 5

Hey everybody. Welcome to the fifth week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Since we’ve had a little bit of trouble with this, let’s put the rules up front:

The Rules (subject to modification in future games):

Hey everybody. Welcome to the fourth week of Name That Tune at Popdose. First, I want to thank David for running last week’s superb game. This week’s game can’t possibly be as cool, but it will try.

For those new to the game, here’s how it works: I have uploaded twenty-one very brief song clips. Most of the songs are well known; none of them are obscure, though there are a couple that may be less well known than songs in past games. The clips are drawn from a variety of styles and decades, from the 1960s to the present. 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 21). There’s no acrostic this time — the songs don’t spell anything — but the songs do all have something in common that should help with guessing the puzzle song. (And 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 ungessed after a day, I’ll upload longer clips.
