Name That Tune, Game Seven

Scraps February 22, 2008 71

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

The Rules (subject to modification in future games):

  • MAXIMUM THREE GUESSES between updates of the list, to give everyone a chance to play.
  • Clip 23 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-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 first 22 songs are related to each other in a way that gives a clue 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 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
    6. clip 6
    7. clip 7
    8. clip 8

    18. clip 18
    19. clip 19
    20. clip 20
    21. clip 21
    22. clip 22

    And the Puzzle Song:

      18 is Fleetwood Mac, for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's “Dreams.”

    • http://www.deselbybowen.com/parlando/ Scraps

      Correct:
      “Dreams”
      “Here, There and Everywhere”

      To be clear, jackfear — I admit it's not obvious, and I should figure out a way to make it clearer — when I say “three guesses between updates of the list”, an update of the list means me reposting the whole list with the correct guesses so far — which I am about to do — not just my answering the guesses as they go.

    • Eric

      “Hooked on a Feeling” is correct.

    • http://jackfear.blogspot.com Jack Feerick

      Apologies. I thought that might be the case, but I wasn't sure; guess I should have erred on the side of caution.

      Sorry, everyone.

    • http://www.deselbybowen.com/parlando/ Scraps

      Not a big deal!

      The puzzle song is not.

    • http://gapersblog.typepad.com/gapers_blog/ ken

      21. Might be Thunderclap Newman?

      23. Definitely from Exile In Guyville (can't mistake that Brad Wood production) but the songs escapes me.

      And for the record, I just saw this now and without looking got 1,2,4,7,10,18,19,22.

    • http://www.deselbybowen.com/parlando/ Scraps

      Not Thunderclap Newman.

    • Eric

      23. Strange Loop – Liz Phair

    • http://gapersblog.typepad.com/gapers_blog/ ken

      Yup, that's it Eric. Damn you. I get an assist though, right?

    • Eric

      You should. The song had a familiar sound but I couldn't quite place it until your comment about Exile in Guyville.

    • http://www.deselbybowen.com/parlando/ Scraps

      It is “Strange Loop”! Congratulations, Eric! (I don't know whether Ken gets an assist because I don't know whether Eric needed it.)

      One more song — 21 — by a hugely popular solo artist, who was in two moderately successful bands before that. This is the second of those two bands.

    • http://www.deselbybowen.com/parlando/ Scraps

      Ah, I see Ken does get an assist. Thanks for narrowing it down!
