Name That Tune, Game Thirty-Eight

David Medsker July 27, 2009 61

Good news, everyone! We’re doing Name That Tune again this week, and for purely silly reasons. See, if you look at the game numbers, you’ll see that Cover Me is a game ahead of Name That Tune. So I’m running another NTT so the game numbers are even. Cover Me will be back next week.

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 with the words “OFFICIAL UPDATE.” “Guess” is officially defined as “attempting to identify any one song.” Therefore, one comment that lists three songs counts as 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-five very brief song clips. Please bear in mind that both my record collection and knowledge of music are probably 5% of that of Scraps’, so these quizzes won’t be nearly as comprehensive – or even hit-based – as his were. I will use mostly well-known songs, but I reserve the right to use something obscure if it suits my needs, like it does this week. Live versions and covers are also fair game, though I will stay away from remixes, because that’s just mean.

There is a puzzle this week, and the songs in the game will offer a (painfully obvious) clue as to the puzzle song’s identity.

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
  9. clip 9
  10. clip 10
  11. clip 11
  12. clip 12
  13. clip 13
  14. clip 14
  15. clip 15
  16. clip 16
  17. clip 17
  18. clip 18
  19. clip 19

  21. clip 21
  22. clip 22
  23. clip 23

    Oh, now you're just handing it to me! But I should have recognized it. New Order, “Every Little Counts”.

    And that's a wrap! Name That Tune is taking the week off after Lollapalooza (I'm traveling that day), but will be back on August 17. Cover Me will be back for possibly its final installment next week. See you then!

    #23: Cowboy Mouth, “Everybody Loves Jill”

    Cowboy Mouth is correct. Funny that they're guessed before the other two bands, who are both alt-rock gods.

    Google 'Popdose open letter shit storm,' and you'll find one of them.

    As for the other, again, look at the titles for 9 and 11, and think of a song title that could bridge them together. Oh, and one more thing: I think you are a pig. You should be in a zoo.

    19. Nine Inch Nails “Every Day is Exactly the Same”
