Name That Tune, Game Twenty-Six

Friday, August 8th, 2008 by Scraps

Hey everybody, and I mean everybody. Welcome to the twenty-sixth ganglia-gobbling week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Stop and smell the rules:

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.
  • 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).

    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, just a theme: The 29 regular song clips have something in common that points toward 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

    27. clip 27

    29. clip 29

    And the Puzzle Song:

    Name That Tune, Game Twenty-Five

    Friday, July 25th, 2008 by Scraps

    Hey everybody and everybody else. Welcome to the twenty-fifth knuckle-gnawing week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Rules, rules, always rules:

    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.
  • 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 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). Once again, we’re doing an acrostic game: This time, the first letter of the name of the SONG for the first 22 clips spells out 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:

    Name That Tune, Game Twenty-Four

    Friday, July 18th, 2008 by Scraps

    Hey everybody and everysoul. Welcome to the twenty-fourth brow-furrowing week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Try not to resent the Rules:

    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.
  • The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates, but may still be guessed if you have used up your regular three guesses.

    I have uploaded twenty-four 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 24).

    Name That Tune, Game Twenty-Two

    Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 by Scraps

    Hey everybody and environs. Welcome to the twenty-second claw-clicking week of Name That Tune at Popdose. What if there were no rules? Then we’d have to delete the boilerplate:

    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. 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-five 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, maybe even everybody else).

    There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 25). No acrostic this time. The first twenty-four 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:

    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

    20. clip 20
    21. clip 21
    22. clip 22
    23. clip 23
    24. clip 24

    Name That Tune, Game Nineteen

    Friday, June 6th, 2008 by Scraps

    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:

    1. clip 1
    2. clip 2
    3. clip 3
    4. clip 4
    5. clip 5
    6. clip 6

    21. clip 21
    22. clip 22
    23. clip 23
    24. clip 24
    25. clip 24

    And the Puzzle Song:

    Name That Tune, Game Fifteen

    Friday, May 2nd, 2008 by Scraps

    Hey everybody. Welcome to the fifteenth eyebrow-raising week of Name That Tune at Popdose. Rules? What rules? These rules:

    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.
  • The Puzzle clip 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. 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 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, damn them).

    There are two parts to this game. The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 26). Once again, we’re doing an acrostic game: This time, the first letter of the name of the SONG for the first 25 clips spells out 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.

    Name That Tune, Game Twelve

    Friday, April 4th, 2008 by Scraps

    Hey everybody. Welcome to the twelfth scalp-tingling week of Name That Tune at Popdose. I hear you clamoring for rules, and I just happen to have a few:

    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.
  • The Puzzle clip may only be guessed once between updates.

The first is guessing the songs themselves. The second part is guessing the puzzle song (clip 25). Once again, we’re doing an acrostic game: The first letter of the name of the artist of the first 24 songs spells out 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:

    Name That Tune, Game Seven

    Friday, February 22nd, 2008 by Scraps

    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
