17 Dick Marx, "Don't Mean Nothing"? (urgh why is that song in my head now? ack.)
18 Squeeze "Up the Junction," possibly?

Rich · 1 year ago

I'm liking MatthewBolin's "Free Your Mind" for 17, as it makes it clear what the last word of the clue is, I think...

drcastrato · 1 year ago

heh heh, "dick marx up the junction"

Jerry · 1 year ago

drcastrato · 1 year ago

yeah but now Jerry is responsible for putting it in all of our heads. ugh

drcastrato · 1 year ago

actually, looks like it was Rich

Jerry · 1 year ago

I'm glad we cleared that up. I'll take the blame for many things, but I wouldn't wish song poisoning by Richard Marx on my worst enemy.

Scraps · 1 year ago

Er, I mean Rich.

Brian Ibbott · 1 year ago

5. Run-Around - Blues Traveler

Puzzle Song (26)

Dr. Corndog · 1 year ago

4. Please Mr. Postman - The Marvelettes
12. Yes We Can Can - The Pointer Sisters

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

#15 - Evenflow by Pearl Jam?

I was thinking Stone Temple Pilots first, but then realized that I was thinking of "Vasoline", which would cause the puzzle to make no sense.

Dr. Corndog · 1 year ago

15. Animal - Pearl Jam

nhmehta · 1 year ago

No song guesses, but the acrostic could be SURPRISING LADS (or LADY) OF FURNITURE.

Eric · 1 year ago

If the earlier guess on #12 is correct, then that wouldn't fit.

Assuming #12 is correct, maybe something like this?

SURPRISINGLY DEAF FURNITURE

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

It is "Animal"! right about 1 minute into the song.

Serves me right for not bothering to listen to the YouTube videos for all of the hits starting with vowels from Pearl Jam's first two albums. Also, doing so would have let me know that "Even Flow" is two words, not one.

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

"Animal" is definitely right.

It's definitely SURPRISINGLY DEAF FURNITURE.

And therefore the song is "I Am, I Said" by Neil Diamond.

Eric · 1 year ago

Nicely done. You know, I thought of that song briefly when I was thinking of furniture related songs, but I didn't make the lyrical connection and dismissed it.

Scraps · 1 year ago

Fast game! And well done, Michael Davies, "I Am I Said" by Neil Diamond is the answer to the puzzle.

I believe if you send an email to jefito at popdose dot com, he will have a prize for you.

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

Game over? but we still haven't gotten all the songs yet.

Since I didn't identify any of the songs correctly, do I really deserve a prize?

(although I did listen to "I Am, I Said" to make sure it had solo acoustic guitar like that)

Scraps · 1 year ago

Whoever identifies the puzzle song correctly gets the prize, and that means you.

The game's still going till we get all the songs, yep. But you've "won" already.

Scraps · 1 year ago

Also all correct:

Please Mr Postman - The Marvelettes
Animal - Pearl Jam
Yes We Can Can - Pointer Sisters

Pat · 1 year ago

#2 - Alan O'Day - Undercover Angel

Scraps · 1 year ago

Undercover Angel - Alan O'Day is correct.

I'm most surprised by 25 not being guessed.

Joy · 1 year ago

14 E Everlovin' - Ricky Nelson

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

19. The Rock & Roll Waltz - Kay Starr

(didn't know there was an actual hit version of this song until now)

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

er, I guess it's just "Rock and Roll Waltz"

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

3. Real, Real, Real - Jesus Jones

Joy · 1 year ago

Oh! by the way, at least for me, the file is missing for #25. :-)

Scraps · 1 year ago

That's weird; 25 is playing fine for me.

Correct:
Rock & Roll Waltz - Kay Starr (which was not just a hit, but a #1 hit)
Real, Real, Real - Jesus Jones

Incorrect:
Everlovin' - Ricky Nelson

Joy · 1 year ago

I got it to work now! Yay! As for my incorrect: dangit!! ;-)

Michael Davies · 1 year ago

I can't even think of a "highly successful cover band". Especially one that sounds like it's from the late 60's.

The Animals? The Rascals? But the song is not ringing a bell.

forwardgirl · 1 year ago

is #25 Easy To Be Hard by 3 Dog Night?

Scraps · 1 year ago

"Easy To Be Hard" by Three Dog Night is correct.

Three to go.

Scraps · 1 year ago

Here are longer clips of the three remaining songs:

longer clip 7

longer clip 10

longer clip 14

Scraps · 1 year ago

Ah, hell, the tags give them away, and I don' see any way to delete the comment.

Well, thanks for playing, everybody!

Joy · 1 year ago

I might be technologically inept, here, but unless all of the remaining songs are called "Longer," I can't figure them out... Where are these 'tags' of which you speak? :-)

Scraps · 1 year ago

That's weird; here in the Disqus threads, I don't see the giveaway tags, but on the Popdose page for the post, the names and titles show up when you click on the link.

forwardgirl · 1 year ago

I'm not seeing the giveaway tags on either page, and #7 is driving me crazy...

forwardgirl · 1 year ago

Hot damn, my brain has had enough of that clip, I think #7 is the Backstreet Boys, but I'm not sure if it's Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely or Shape of my Heart. I'm leaning toward Show Me The Meaning?

Scraps · 1 year ago

You are correct.

Scraps · 1 year ago

That's weird; here in the Disqus threads, I don't see the giveaway tags, but on the Popdose page for the post, the names and titles show up when you click on the link.

Old_Davy · 1 year ago

If the game is still going, then #10 is Go Back by Crabby Appleton

Old_Davy · 1 year ago

Oh, and I also do not see the giveaway tags of which you speak <?>.

Scraps · 1 year ago

"Go Back" is correct.

Next time I screw up I'll just soldier on.
