Name That Tune, February 2011 -- results & answers

[rsgonzalez]

It's the first Name That Tune of 2011! This is my final one with a theme. This time, I'm not telling what it is, and there's no bonus for figuring it out, but maybe it'll help figuring out some of the songs.

Usual scoring -- twenty songs, with one point for correct song and one point for correct artist, for a total of 40 possible points.

One week in, and I've gotten two responses so far. Keep 'em coming!

[rsgonzalez]

There's one week left to go. I've gotten three responses so far, and I'd love to see a bunch more!

Three days left, and I've still only gotten three responses. Is this one really hard or something?

I only knew a handful or so. Didn't want to embarrass myself and send in my answers.[:I]

Last call! The game closes tonight at 11:59 p.m. EST. I've gotten 5 responses so far, and there's plenty of room at the top.

I used to have a 1 hour commute each way, plenty
of time to listen to each track and figure it out
Unfortunately that commute is now under 10 minutes
and I was too lazy to record the tracks so I could
re-listen to the songs I missed. I wish I had seen
this sooner or had more time, or the longer commute
again, or a time machine...

[rsgonzalez]

So I stumble every now and then. This one ended up being harder than I thought, and only six people responded. I'll try to have a better balance next time.

No one took a stab at the theme. All twenty songs are covers.

In third place: schwenko and Brambo tied with 22
Second place: Jefe with 24
First place: Jim2, with his second win, at 26 points!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent in answers. I'm glad people enjoy playing these as much as I do making them.
