The Return of...Video Name That Tune - Results

[Frau_Blucher]

It's been a long time - just about two years - so I figured it's high time to revive the Video Name That Tune Contest. The embedded video contains clips from 25 new wave acts. This will be a contest to see who can name the most Artists and Songs in these clips. The rules:

1) Watch the video
2) <font color="red">[b]Do Not Post the Answers in This Thread[/b]</font>
3) Make a note of the Artist and Song for each clip
4) <font color="red">[b]Do Not Post the Answers in This Thread[/b]</font>
5) Email me your answers through the NWO emailer function <a href="http://nwoutpost.com/forum/pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=80">in my profile</a>
6) <font color="red">[b]Do Not Post the Answers in This Thread[/b]</font>
7) The game is on a 75 point basis - 1pt for each Artist and 2pts for each Song
<font color="red">[b]Do Not Post the Answers in This Thread[/b]</font>
9) The game will expire on Friday August 15th at 11pm EST

I'll email you back the answers upon submission. After the game closes, I'll tally up the scores, provide some statistics, and declare a Champion NWO Video NTT Champion. That person will then be awarded the undying respect and awe of the fellow board members.

Thanks for doing this Blir. Even though I suck at these, I enjoy participating in the contest. At the very least I find songs that I missed out on way back then. I'm just not clear on one thing. Are we supposed to post the answers in this thread?

[Frau_Blucher]

Hey, thanks for playing Jefe. I remember now that you were one of the regulars...as well as Cubby, BigBri, Brambo, Abs...you guys comin'?!

I'll field this question, Blir[:p]


Thanks for putting this together--as always I look forward to it.

you know that feeling when you study all night for the test and then you get there to take it and you just look at the questions like they were written in some foreign language and you haven't got a clue?

7:14 of my life wasted.
I was sure of less than 10%

Unbelievable. Thanks a lot Blir.

One question, where did you get the Apart From The Crowd video?

That last clip is a duesie ain't it? Represents everything that was bad about new wave - cracks me up.

PS. Sorry about the 4th to the last clip...the YouTube upload seems to have munged the sound somehow.

[genxfiles]

I think I have about 80 percent on initial viewing.

That clip of ******** performing ***** ***** was freakin' AWESOME! Good stuff!

...<watches again and takes notes>

Carry on

Wow, I suck at this. I've only seen two of these videos. If I get half of these I'd be lucky. [B)]

[genxfiles]

I am forced to revise my previous estimate. As it turns out, I only thought I knew some of them. This is gonna take some in-depth analysis. As of the second viewing, however, I have about 14 of 24, with 6 "Maybes".

Awesome, Blir!
I only watched the first few moments and I am up for the challenge. I'll look at them in more detail this weekend.
By the way, the first is one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for that!

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Thanks for killing the second half of my workday, there, Blir.

[BigBri]

This needs a bump.

This is cool, I will be submitting my answers relatively soon.

[b]THE UPDATE POST:[/b]

Hi gang, pretty good initial participation. We've now got over a dozen entries, some I-should-have-totally-known-that's, and still a fairly undaunting [b]36.9 average[/b]. All Bands and Songs have been answered at least once...EXCEPT #25. Who will accept this challenge?

Thanks for the participation.
