Name That Tune, March 2009

[rsgonzalez]

OK, great show! Ten people sent in answers (well, 11, actually -- more on that in a minute). The average score was an impressive 26.9 points. All of the songs were guessed by at least one person, except #7. First, the breakdown:

01. Madness - Baggy Trousers (8 got the artist; 6 got the song)
02. Scandal - Goodbye To You (7 got the artist; 7 got the song)
03. The Vapors - News At Ten (3 got the artist; 3 got the song)
04. The Knack - My Sharona (10 got the artist; 10 got the song)
05. The Waitressess - Square Pegs (3 got the artist; 2 got the song)
06. The Romantics - What I Like About You (10 got the artist; 10 got the song)
07. Code Blue - Whisper/Touch (0 got the artist; 0 got the song)
08. Simple Minds - Up On The Catwalk (7 got the artist; 7 got the song)
09. Animotion - I Engineer (4 got the artist; 4 got the song)
10. B-Movie - Nowhere Girl (9 got the artist; 10 got the song)
11. Pseudo Echo - Listening (5 got the artist; 5 got the song)
12. Alphaville - Forever Young (10 got the artist; 10 got the song)
13. Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (9 got the artist; 9 got the song)
14. Real Life - Send Me An Angel (9 got the artist; 9 got the song)
15. The Cure - Let's Go To Bed (10 got the artist; 10 got the song)
16. The Cars - Bye Bye Love (8 got the artist; 6 got the song)
17. The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays (10 got the artist; 10 got the song)
18. Pretenders - Tattooed Love Boys (8 got the artist; 7 got the song)
19. The Comsat Angels - Independence Day (6 got the artist; 6 got the song)
20. Swell Maps - Let's Build A Car (1 got the artist; 1 got the song)

No surprise on #7 and #20, really, though I thought more people would get #3. The Vapors were a great band; if you like The Jam even a little, definitely check them out. I was gonna throw their even more obscure (and even more better) song "Bunkers" into the next one, but not anymore

And without further ado:

3rd place -- [b]Marie3[/b] with 30 points (apologies to NuWaveRx; I told him he tied for 3rd, but looking back at his answers, he picked the wrong Cars song)

2nd place -- [b]MikeP[/b] with 31 points

1st place -- [b]Jim2[/b] cleaning up with 36 points!

Honorary "1.5th place" goes to glokstadt, who got 32 points but turned in the answers 45 minutes late.

Thanks again for playing, everyone! I'll probably make another in a few months.
