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):
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 1950s 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). The puzzle is a little different this time: Letters in the titles of the songs will spell out a clue to the identity of the puzzle song. For some of the songs, the first letter of the title is part of the clue; for others, it’s the last letter. This is indicated below for each clip. (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:
- clip 1 – last letter
- clip 2 – first letter
- clip 3 – last letter
- clip 4 – first letter
- clip 5 – last letter
- clip 6 – first letter
- clip 7 – first letter
- clip 8 – last letter
- clip 9 – first letter
- clip 10 – first letter
- clip 11 – first letter
- clip 12 – last letter
- clip 13 – last letter
- clip 14 – first letter
- clip 15 – last letter
- clip 16 – first letter
- clip 17 – first letter
- clip 18 – first letter
- clip 19 – first letter
- clip 20 – first letter
And the Puzzle Song:
clip 21
