Name That Tune... Episode 2
03.24.05 (7:27 pm)   [edit]
Does anyone else remember [url=http://www.curtalliaume.com/n...]Name That Tune? [/url] I remember being completely fascinated by that show as a kid ~ and especially by that rare breed of musical nerd who could [i]name that tune[/i] in an absurdly small amount of notes. (I remember it always seemed as though my mom knew the correct answer long before the contestants did. She was my [url=]name that tune[/url] hero).

Anyway, I have to admit that I was a bit surprised by how few people knew the three clips from my recent foray into the wild and wacky world musical identification quiz shows. But my hat goes off to both [url=http://shadowmusic.tblog.com]Shadowmusic[/url] and Aqualung for hitting all three nails squarely on the head. Sometimes, I forget that *my* taste in music leans a bit more towards the obscure, and I think I may have lost sight of that fact when I claimed those three 80's clips were easy. Of course, the correct answers were:

a. "If You Leave" by OMD
b. "I Want You Now" by Depeche Mode
c. "Woman's Work" by Kate Bush

That said, I thought we might try playing again. But this time, I've changed things up a bit. I've divided the clips up by difficulty and I've even provided one clue. Eventually, of course, the newness of all of this will likely wear thin, but until then, I'm having a giggle putting all this together. I hope you'll play along.

Ok. I've got artists for the first two after listening to the first tracks, no hints:

Jack Johnson, Led Zeppelin.

I'm lost on the third, still.

No, those are just the only ones I'd tried at that point. Heh.

I am now officially a loser.

I got the obvious Led Zeppelin 'Friends'

I got the Beatles 'Here comes the sun'

I heard some Floyd, perhaps.

I know the song 'They' but... ? Gem maybe...

the last song bothers me because it seems so familiar, but I can't place it. You see... I'm a loser baby, so why don'tcha kill meeeee...

I am stumped.

The "hints" were a very clever addition!

Track 4 was the trickiest for me for some reason, 'til I checked your hint.

All of this reminds me of the WKRP episode with the "Name the Song" contest:

No way. You're fabulous. But I challenge you to listen to the first one again. YOU KNOW IT. We've even TALKED ABOUT IT. :)

I *had* to add hints lest you win them all, silly. :)

I *love* being compared to WKRP! :) How fantastic! I'll let you decide which on-air personality I am.

My guesses (as usual, abbreviated and encoded with "A" when I mean "B", "B" when I mean "C", etc. so as not to ruin it for all):

(1) C:II
(2) A:GBSR
(3) KY:E
(4) A:SFZ
(5) I:S
(6) R:KXL


And regarding your question about which on-air WKRP personality you are... hmm... Johnny Fever? Venus Flytrap? No, without a doubt, it's gotta be Bailey Quarters. :-)

Oh my stars... you make me laugh. Oh, how you make me laugh.

As long as I'm not Les Nessman I think I'm ok. :)

To quote Mr. Carlson:
