Well, I already know for sure to have 20 certain points, but whats the point of entering now if you already know someone has 38. [:D]

That's a valid point. If in the future I should do another of these I may refrain from posting the points. However, if one sees that they are 2 points behind the player above, maybe that will motivate them to try and figure out the songs they missed and try to improve their position.

You can add to your score by e-mailing me, since I have not revealed the answers to any players, although Player #4 knows all but that one elusive song.

Times up and the entries are closed.

We had 9 entries and song #16 was only guessed by [b]rewind[/b] and [b]q89747[/b]. Sorry if you were fooled and guessed the B-52's on this parody song from 1981, I couldn't resist using this.

I'm not sure why so few guessed Freur's Riders In The Night. Everyone knows Doot Doot, but not Riders?

This was fun to be on the other side, setting up the songs and not doing the guessing. I ran into some problems on youtube, including an add for Emusic to buy Blotto's I wanna Be A Lifeguard. Thank you to all who participated.

I didn't guess, I knew!

That was fun, thanks Jim2.

But, damn, I missed Freur...and I love that song, just couldn't place it.
