Hey everybody, and all your horses. Welcome to the nineteenth cane-pounding week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Rules, rules, rules, every week rules! And the same boring ones, too:
The Rules (subject to modification in future games):
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. (I am in Seattle visiting my family this weekend, so updates may be a little more widely interspersed than usual.)
The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates. You may guess the puzzle song if you have already made your three regular 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 entirely 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, some will drive you crazy, and a few others you won’t know at all (and why should you?).
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. The first twenty-five songs have something in common that points 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 persistently unguessed, I’ll offer clues of dubious help.
And here are the clips:
