Just saw this. I'm actually trying to make all of them about equivalently hard, making shorter clips or clips from hard-to-guess parts of the song for more famous songs, and making more obvious clips for more obscure songs, etc. Most of the time when I've had some idea that clips are particularly easy or hard, I've been wrong.

I think it would be very interesting if Scraps told us which clips he thought would be the easy ones and which would be the hard ones to guess while setting up the game.

YES, it is "Lake of Fire" by the Meat Puppets! Nicely done!

I believe if you drop a note to Jefito at popdose dot com, he will have a prize for you.

Thanks everybody for playing!

Wild guess on the Puzzle song: I'm going for “KC” meaning Kurt Cobain, so a song from Nirvana Unplugged. Is it the Meat Puppets' “Lake of Fire”?

“The Girl with the Sun in Her Head” is correct.

All that's left is the puzzle song.
