Yeah, those are among the tracks that gave folks the most trouble. [:p]

I'll be posting the complete results tomorrow (for those who chickened out on sending me their responses). I post a few of those mystery songs too - I don't have the free disk spa

Well if you need a specific deadline for you to get in gear, let's say Friday March 26 at 4PM Eastern. [;)]

That will give me time to finish tabulating the responses and post the results Friday evening.

It was great fun and I was a bit surprised more people didn't play too. The mp3s were like a great prize just for playing. Can't wait for the next Name that Tune game. Thanks again fritzb!
