Name That Tune, August 2013

Postby rsgonzalez » Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:02 pm

I know I said I'd never post one of these again, but I appear to be a terrible liar. Besides, I missed doing these, and zill's recent game reminded me of that. So I present to you, Name That Tune, The All Non-Canadian Edition!*

Rules: Twenty songs, with one point for correct song and one point for correct artist, for a total of 40 possible points. Send me your answers with the "Email poster" button or at rsgonzalez(at)gmail.com. [b]Please do not post any answers here![/b]

I'll let this run for three weeks. The deadline is Monday, August 26 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Good luck, and enjoy!

Wow, I did surprisingly well for a non-Canadian version. Just a couple more to go.

I am actually surprised that there was a couple really monster hits there that was hard not the spot right away.....but then again quite a few turned out to be a total mystery to me.

Nice balance between the worn out classics and the many obscure gems in the end. [:D]

Ha, more like a wide gulf between big hits and obscure tracks, as it turns out :)

So far, 5 people have played, with the top score being 18 points. Nine of the songs haven't been guessed correctly yet. In other words, plenty of room at the top!

I only counted 8 that were recognizable. 0:14-0:30, 1:40-2:00, 2:00-2:18, 2:18-2:40, 3:48-4:05, 4:05-4:19, 5:20-5:32, 5:48-6:05. I wonder which obscure one that you guessed right.

I wouldn't call a single song in this game Italo Disco ;p

KYYX4ever is in the lead, but there's a week to go and a lot of songs still haven't been guessed yet!

I'm diving in. And if anyone questions (Schwenko [;)]), I have every one of these songs.

Just to test the waters, were most of you guys alive at the time of the original releases of these? I don't think I'd have a chance.

If it helps, I was alive at the time of release for 17 of these songs, though they all came out before I started kindergarten.
