Hey everybody, welcome to the thirtieth cerebrum-soothing week of Name That Tune at Popdose. To celebrate Game 30, we’ve got thirty clips. It’s a nice easy week, and the rules? well, they’re still a bit hard-assed:
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.
- The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates, but may still be guessed if you have used up your regular 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 thirty 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, and you can’t hold it against them). There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 30). No acrostic this time. This week, the first 29 clips all have something in common that points to the identity of the Puzzle Song. I think they’re somewhat easier this week, which is why there are more songs; still, 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:
