It’s back, bitches!

While our beloved Scraps continues to work his way back from the stroke he suffered late last year, Lord Jefito has granted my wish to resurrect Name That Tune because, well, I missed it as much as you guys did. Fret not, Cover Me fans, the album cover quiz will be back next week and every other week going forward.

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.”
  • While IÁ¢€â„¢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.

There is also no puzzle or acrostic this week, but there is a theme.

And here are the clips:

  26. I suggest subscribing to the comments on the post to more easily follow the progress of the game. Remember — please! — NO MORE THAN THREE GUESSES between updates of the list. Have fun!

UPDATE: I have uploaded longer cuts of the still-remaining songs!
