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:
- clip 1
- clip 2
- clip 3
- clip 4
- clip 5
- clip 6
- clip 7
- clip 8
- clip 9
- clip 10

As usual, we suggest subscribing to the comments on the post to more easily follow the progress of the game. Remember, MAXIMUM OF THREE GUESSES between updates of the list. Have fun, and good luck!
