Description: I will post a link to a zipped-file containing 5 song-clips of 2-10 seconds in length. Of the 5 songs there will almost always be 1-60s era, 1-70s era, 1-80s era and 1-90s/00s (era) song. The 5th song will be either 50s-era, an instrumental or a theme song.
Point scale: 0.5 pts. -> title correct, interpreter incorrect 1 pt. -> title correct, interpreter correct 1 pt. -> If you are the only one who got at least the title right. 2 pts. -> If you are the only one who got title and interpeter right and all other guesses are totally incorrect.
Batch Bonus: 0.5 pts. -> all titles correct 1 pt. -> all titles and all interpreters correct
Winner is the player, who has the most points after Round 100.
I'm willing to extend this an additional 8 hours if anyone else is interested in playing. So far 3 persons have guessed, making for little competition all around.... Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
1. Booker T. & the MG's: "Green Onions" (Nim, Omega, TSN) 2. The Four Tops: "Reach Out I'll Be There" (Cartmaniac, Nim, TSN) 3. Lenny Kravitz: "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" {Cartmaniac} 4. Bob Marley & the Wailers: "I Shot the Sheriff" (Nim, TSN) 5. Paul Simon: "You Can Call Me Al" (Cartmaniac, Nim, Phoenix)

I promise this one is easier Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, that explains why I recognized almost all of those. I don't know why I couldn't come up w/ the names, though.
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
There is no happy medium....
Its either all or nothing with you people....
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
31) The Doors - "Light My Fire" - (TSN, The Tom) 32) Harold Faltermeyer - "Axel F/Beverly Hills Cop Theme" - /TSN\ (Phoenix, Spike, The Tom) 33) Bill Haley And His Comets - "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" - {The Tom} 34) Stampeders - "Sweet City Woman" - {TSN} 35) Three Doors Down - "Kryptonite" - (TSN, The Tom)
() = 1 point /\ = 1.5 points {} = 2 points
..and once again, 26-30 & 36-40 are (still) corrupted again (hell if I know why), so I'm skipping them for now, so on to: http://www2.gvsu.edu/~albaitia/41-45.zip for Batch 7...
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
What? Would you prefer nursery rhymes?
41.) 5th Dimension - "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" - {Spike} 42.) Supertramp - "The Logical Song" - 43.) Weezer - "Hash Pipe" - 44.) (Paul McCartney &) Wings - "Listen to What the Man Said" - 45.) Eddie Cochran - "Summertime Blues" -
Does it help that I would have gotten three of them if I had ever listened to them?
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
They are all rather common songs you hear on the radio...can't say half of what Spike was playing ever made it across the pond.

Okay...uploading takes waaay too long to do on a 56k so I came to my old univerisity (where i seem to still have the webspace I am using) and I can transfer the songs from disk to the webfolder directly without uploading anything.
The problem is that everytime I take stuff from my computer to the disk to the schools computer a proportionally large number of the zip files are corrupted....
Anyway I think we are only halfway through the game, I dont have the answers to the last one up yet...though I do recall that it did have a certain 'sci-fi' theme to it.
I will post the answers to the last one when I get home.
[Edit] I do know that these were right...
29. Smash Mouth - "Walkin' on the Sun" {TSN} 30. Golden Earring - "Twilight Zone" (TSN, Cartmaniac)
Batch 12 is a mismatch of songs salvaged from 2 of the corrupted zips I had:
26) David Bowie - "Ziggy Stardust" - 27) Shocking Blue - "Venus" - 28) John Williams - Theme From "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" - 29) Smashmouth - "Walking On The Sun" - {TSN} 30) Golden Earring - "Twilight Zone" - (TSN, Cartmaniac)
36) Shakira - "Wherever, Whenever" - 37) Nancy Sinatra - "These Boots Are Made For Walking" - {Spike} 38) Frank Sinatra - Theme From "New York New York" - 39) Annie Lennox - "Walking on Broken Glass" - 40) BJ Thomas - "Hooked On A Feeling" - {TSN}
Okay, well, if I'm the only one playing now, I think it's about time to stop...
Posted by Cartmaniac (Member # 256) on :
You're not, but you are the only one who gets these Simons right, apparently...
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I don't think Simon would ever listen to something mainstream enough to have topped the charts.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Hey! I have recognized most, if not all, of these titles once the answers have been given, though I haven't been playing along.
Horrifyingly elitest statement for which anyone should feel justified in punching me in the face:
I wouldn't be caught dead with the majority of them in my MP3 folder, is all.
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
This, by no means is any indication of my mp3 collection. Personally, my collection is 60s music, with some 70s spillover (about 6000 mp3s, largely of old [local] Michigan/Chicago/Ohio bands). Perhaps not much better by your opinions, but I don't care, I'm a 60s child at heart.
Anyway, I was trying to diversify the songs a little because a fair number of Spikes songs were things I've never really heard on this side of the pond, as the radio is my primary source of auditary-knowledge. Knowing I could have easily done the same thing, I tried to post something mainstream in hopes of it being something midstream. Oh well.
Anywho, I declare this game a flop and might as well call it off.
The last selection was:
Alice Cooper - "Poison" Climax Blues Band - "Couldn't Get It Right" Roy Orbison - "Pretty Woman" - {Spike} Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Under The Bridge" Gary Glitter - "Rock & Roll, Part II" (aka the "Hey" song you heard at sporting events performed by the kiddie pr0n culprit)
