Name That Tune

**USAManUtd13** · 11-28-2007, 10:47 AM

As the title suggests: you get to play name that tune!

I participated in this at another forum a while back and thought I'd go ahead and give it a shot on this one. Go ahead and download the files and PM me your guesses. Most are in MP3 or WMA format and are typically the first 5 or so seconds of the song (sometimes a bit shorter or longer, sometimes somewhere other than the beginning). I'll let this run for about a week or two and then give the results. After that, if someone else wants to give it a shot, feel free. Also, if there's a big interest, I'll try to do it more regularly.

Here's the first set. The first zip folder has 7 songs in it and the second has 4. Good Luck!

2 things:

1) C'mon people! Give this a shot...it's fun, I swear!
2) Why is this in "Arts and Media"?

i'll try it later on, i've just been puttin gmajor time at work recently

**USAManUtd13** · 12-07-2007, 12:32 AM

So, we've got one contestant so far and they've done quite admirably. Hopefully someone can put their attempts to the test and make this a contest

**funkdoctorspock** · 12-07-2007, 12:34 AM

I'll give it a go shortly. Appreciated that you started this up...

----

EDIT: First time listening to these... I only know 3 out of 11 songs... this is tough.

**USAManUtd13** · 12-19-2007, 02:18 AM

Well, I've been away for awhile and figured that when I came back, I'd have at least a couple new responses...guess not.

Fuckdoctor, just go ahead and PM your guesses; PM whatever you can get. If it's any help to anyone, most of these songs are from the 60's/70's

I'll do this once more to see if I get a better response.

**randy420** · 12-23-2007, 08:36 PM

I'll do this sometime soon, within the next week or so..

p.s. I can name that tune in 97 notes.

p.p.s. i hope this helps

**USAManUtd13** · 12-24-2007, 10:53 AM

EDIT: That didn't work...

**USAManUtd13** · 01-13-2008, 01:51 PM

This is a shameless bump, but I've noticed a surge of new members...maybe this'll get off and running this time around

**USAManUtd13** · 01-26-2008, 12:26 PM

A complete failure, it would seem!

I figured GocartMozart might want to see how he fared, though:

1) Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
2) U2 - Even Better than the Real Thing
3) The Police - Message in a Bottle
4) Grateful Dead - Friend of the Devil
5) Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe
6) The Eagles - Desperado
7) Clapton - Tears in Heaven
8) CCR - Lodi
9) Sublime - Santeria
10) The Doors - Riders on the Storm
11) Clapton - Cocaine

If you had had competition, GM, here's how you'd have scored (2 points for artist and title, 1 for either of the two):

1) 2
2) 0
3) 2
4) 0
5) 2
6) 0
7) 1.5 (You guessed the right artist and gave me two titles. One of which was correct)
8) 1
9) 1
10) 1
11) 2

12.5/22...not too shabby, congratulations!
