Video Name That Tune 6 - Shameless Edition Results

Postby Frau_Blucher » Wed Jun 07, 2006 7:56 am

This is an unabashedly shameless Video Name That Tune Game that features only two bands. Take a wild-ass guess at which two! There are 25 clips in the linked video below. Any Quicktime-loaded computer should be able to play it - download the latest QT at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ if you have issues playing the MPEG4 file.

Just guess the Artist and Title to each song. The game is on a 100 point basis - 3 points for each Title and, pay attention here, 1 point for the name of the Band that [i]originally[/i] sang the song. Email back the answers after you're done (my email is in the form). Make sure to include your forum name. I'll immediately send back the Score and Answer Sheet and take YouSendIt requests for later posting. <font color="red">[b]Please remember NOT to post your responses here.[/b]</font>

Here's the clip link, [b]right-click (or control-click on Mac) to download - it WON'T play in-line[/b]:
<a href="http://home.comcast.net/~ssirwin/VNTT6.mp4">The VNTT6 Video Sampler</a>

Here's the link for the response form, right-click to download:
<a href="http://home.comcast.net/~ssirwin/VNTT6_Blank.txt">The VNTT6 Blank Form</a>

The game will end fairly quickly on <font color="red">[b]Sunday June 18th at 8PM EDT[/b]</font>.

Oh, crap! I thought this ended on the 8th, so I ignored it. What the hell was I thinking? I'll get in my entry amidst all the homework, cleaning, packing, moving, and setting up house.

Results are in. Fewest players in awhile. Speciality topic I guess - Joy Division & New Order like the regular NTT of awhile back. Some impressive scores too, and not necessarily by any of the usual fanboys/girls ('cept me of course!), none of whom played - talk a better game than walk?! [}:)]

The average was a robust 79.3% and the VNTT6 winners are as follows:

1st - 100% - BigBri - Aced it!
2nd - 96% - Tie to Mathman & SuttonRecords - both snagged on #12.
4th - 92% - Schwenko - great score for most anyone...but I was expecting more! [;)]
5th - 90% - Cubby - right there, not a lot of spread top to bottom

The vidoes are below. I'll take request for any YouSendIts. Thanks to all who played.
