Title: Can You Guess the Songs
Post by: Strangeluv on November 09, 2008, 06:31:41 pm
I don't know how well this will fare but I didn't see any harm in trying.

I've made and uploaded a sound file with 5-second snippets of 20 songs. Most of these snippets do not have the respective song's lyrics in them (except for the ones that are near-unintelligible or vocalizations). This is to prevent cheating by Googling lyrics. The point is to simply name the 20 songs in order as they appear on the track.

The winner is the person who gets all right or the most right by the end of a one-week period. Uh, there's really no prize or anything. It's just for fun. The winner could make a sound file or his song with his choice of 10 - 20 songs and so on. But I think we should only put songs that are, for the least, mildly popular, that the slightly-above-average listener would know. They should also try the hardest not to contain lyrics, to avoid cheating. You can even have themed rounds be genre or artist (e.g. emo, West coast rap, Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, etc.)

The one I made is fairly easy: http://www.zshare.net/download/5111158823478e74/
It isn't themed, though.

So go. How many songs can you guess?

It would be cool to give hints too, so here's some:


Also, put your answers in hide tags, I guess.

lets try..


I have to admit I'm really surprised no one got 20 yet. It's the easiest apart from 5 imo. 14 and 18 sound familiar too. I get the feeling I have heard most of these but I just don't know the artists/songs because I don't really listen to them.

I'm more surprised no one got 16 so far, actually. 14 is pretty easy and the snippet I used is the only piece of music from that song that I thought would be most unrecognizable.
