Sounds Familiar - a new game

Postby Frank_Chickens » Wed Feb 02, 2005 5:02 am

In the same vein as Name That Tune, I decided to put together a new game along the same line.

There are 25 song snatches totalling up to 100, that's 2 points for the title and two points for the artist. Generally they're fairly easy with a few tricky ones thrown in to test your musical knowledge. There's a two second break in between each song to give you time to pause the track and write down your answer. When you're finished listening and writing, email me your answers (the address is on the form). Please include your screen name.

I will send an answer sheet to everyone who sends me their response and please, don't post your answers here! If you don't receive a reply within a day then your email didn't reach me and will have to be
re-sent.

The game will end on February 9th at 11pm GMT


Listen, play and enjoy! [8D]

Hey: if I take the ones I know from Fritz's game and add them to the ones I know here, I have a total of 100 pts. Unfortunately, at about 50 pts. per game, I am sucking canal water in BOTH contests.

Damn you Frank Chickens!!! [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

There's a reason why I host the Name That Tune games, not play them. Jeez I suck at this! [:0]

I think I know 10 of them, but a few more "sound familiar". I will mull over them for a bit longer before conceding defeat. [:I]

I feel like I'm playing the unauthorized version of "Name That Tune" with this game. [:)]

Like fritzb, I think I got 10 correct so far, and as for the others, all I can say is I hope you have a lot of space for making the stumpers available to us, Fra
