Name That Tune Junior, Round 2 -- winner & answers

Postby rsgonzalez » Mon Sep 08, 2008 12:23 pm

Inspired by Blir's recent awesome Video Name That Tunes, and of course fritzb's numerous Name That Tunes, I thought I'd give this another go.

Rules are simple. One point for correct song, one point for correct artist. Twenty songs total means forty points is the maximum.

If you don't have a lot of time, or you think you're a super know-it-all, then try the HARD version! One second or less per song. No bonus points or anything -- just self-satisfaction :)

Send me your answers with the "Email poster" above. <B>Do not post your answers here!</B>

You've got two weeks. The deadline is Monday, September 22 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Good luck, and enjoy!

That's awesome, rsgonzalez. Count me in!

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

I always wonder if I'm making them too hard. Guess I will lighten up in the future :)

I was disappointed with how many I knew as well, I think I was under 50% I'll send something over this week. (and that was the easy version!)

Well, I can't say that was encouraging. Three entries. Maybe you guys are just burned out after all the Video Name That Tunes?

First place -- <B>Jefe</B> with 25
Second place -- a tie; both <B>KYYX4ever</B> and <B>Brambo</B> got 20

I guess I will try to make future ones a little easier. It can't have been *that* hard, though, if only four songs (4, 12, 15, and 16) went unguessed among four players.

The "hard version" was probably also a bad idea. Admittedly, I threw it in there just so I could isolate the drum fill for song number 5.

Answers!
01. Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi
(I would also have accepted Elton Motello's Jet Boy Jet Girl, heh)
02. XTC - Don't Lose Your Temper
03. Soft Cell - Tainted Love
04. Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Chance
05. The Sisters Of Mercy - Temple Of Love
06. New Musik - A Train On Twisted Tracks
07. Blondie - 11:59
08. Trees - Delta Sleep
09. Gary Numan - Down In The Park
10. Red Rockers - China
11. Men At Work - Overkill
12. "Weird Al" Yankovic - Dare To Be Stupid
13. The Tom Robinson Band - 2-4-6-8 Motorway
14. Josie Cotton - Johnny Are You Queer
15. DEVO - Mecha-Mania Boy
16. Strawberry Switchblade - I Can Feel
17. Wall Of Voodoo - Far Side Of Crazy
18. The Suburbs - Love Is The Law
19. The Stray Cats - (She's) Sexy + 17
20. Indochine - L'Aventurier

The reaso I didn't respond was (1) I only knew 10 songs (1/3/7/8/9/10/11/14/18/19) from the first listen through, and (2) I didn't have the time over the last 2 weeks to really listen to figure out the rest... Still a nice game.

Sorry for not getting around to responding with my list - I did write down what I could ID. Just confirmed from that list that, as expected, I would have been solidly in last place with only 9 songs ID'd (1/3/5/10/11/13/14/17/19). :-(

I do appreciate you posting the files - having some songs in the list you can't ID is part of the fun and can sometimes let you know of bands you missed the first time around and some good tunes!

Later,
Ralph
