Explanation: I'll post a link to a zip-file which contains 5 short music clips (2-15 seconds). You have 24 hours to send your guesses (interpreter and song title) to me, either via private message or email. Only one guess per clip is allowed. If the music file is the theme of a TV show, it'll be enough to state the name of the show.
Point scheme: 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.
Man, I don't know ANY of these, before OR after the guesses. There should be a new contest with only movie soundtracks/scores and classical music

Ok, let's change the rules a little bit. I've uploaded a zip-file with 5 clips. You have 24 hours to download it and send your guesses to me, either via PM or email. Don't post them here.

Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by interpretor?
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
Yeah, because one of those in the new batch could have any arbitrary "artist/composer" to it...or in the sake of the one in question, would it just be treated the same as say...a theme song?
Posted by Phoenix (Member # 966) on :
One of them has at least 3 names, which doesn't help matters either.
Posted by Spike (Member # 322) on :
I guess this is all about 37, isn't it?
Just send me the title of the ditty.

Buh, I'm falling behind the curve bigtime, so what have YOU got to complain about, Vogeychops? *sulks* 8(
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
No, it's just that my train of thought went along the lines of "Hmm, this sounds familiar. . . but then this kind of synth beat was used in lots of 80's tracks, for instance Kim Wilde's Kids in America, which this isn't. . ." 8)
