Name That Tune Volume 22
Posted: Sun May 08, 2005 4:18 am<font color="Blue"><B>Name That Tune Volume 22 (European Edition)[/b]</font>
Time once again for another edition of the ever popular <B>Name That Tune[/b] game. For this game I have chosen to focus on a piece of the genre often overlooked by us Wavers in the USA, the European New Wave scene. I'm not talking about artists from the UK, which most of us cut our teeth on; I'm talking about artists from the European continent. A few artists from Europe did manage to make the big leap across the water with a hit song or two, but much of what went on over there is still an enigma to most American Wavers. In putting together the tracks for this game, I tried to include many songs that were actually hits in the USA, but frankly I was somewhat dismayed by how few there actually were. Because of this, I suspect that this game will be quite challenging for many of you. Some of these songs I'm sure most folks will know, but I have serious doubts about others. A bunch of these songs aren't even in English! In any event, I hope everyone enjoys this New Wave excursion across the Atlantic (or The Channel for our British friends). [:)]
As with previous games, all of the tracks are the standard single or album versions, except for the very last song (#25), which is an Extended 12" Mix. [8D]
As usual there are a total of 25 songs clips. The game is on a 100 points basis (2 point for artist, 2 point for title). Partial credit will be given for responses that are "close" to correct. There are 2 seconds of silence between song clips. Download your response form below and email it to me for tabulation when you're finished (my email address is on the form). Make sure to put your forum screen names on your answers, so I know who you are. I will send the Answer Sheet to everyone who sends me their responses (if you don't hear from me within 24 hours, I probably didn't get your email). Don't post your responses here!

Good Luck! [:)]
