DISQUS

Scraps · 1 year ago

1. Very famous band.

2. Yes, the 24 regular songs all have mammals. What do mammals have in common?

3. The very first guess at the puzzle song heard something in the clip -- which at that point was only one note -- that was perceptive and true. The song and musician guessed were not close, but the reason for the guess was correct.

Elaine · 1 year ago

Is the reason for the guess "mandolin?" "Rocker doing mandolin turn?" something like that?

Scraps · 1 year ago

Indeed, "rocker doing mandolin" fits the case.

Joy · 1 year ago

Is it a Led Zeppelin tune? (Wracking my brain, here...)

Scraps · 1 year ago

Generally I prefer full guesses, a song and an artist, because verifying a band without a song can just start people guessing every song by the band that fits the criteria.

But since this game started two days ago: No, it's not a Led Zeppelin song.

Joy · 1 year ago

Sorry about that! But thanks for the hint; now I can stop listening to Zeppelin... :-)

Scraps · 1 year ago

Not a problem!

#24 - America, "Horse with No Name"

btw, Scraps, I just recently connected that you were the guy doing Seventies Song Survival. Sorry that "biggest hits" collection wasn't.

Love this game, too. Thanks for puttin' it up.

MC_Snocap · 1 year ago

Uh - redundant guesses.

Scraps · 1 year ago

I won't count those guesses against your total. I've just posted an update, so you've got three more guesses.

Scraps · 1 year ago

Thanks! Yeah, I was having fun with that till I realized just how many songs were missing, which took away a lot of the point. I'm still figuring a way to maybe resurrect it.

Scraps · 1 year ago

(13 and 23 from last week: Cover Girls, "We Can't Go Wrong", and Aaron Hall, "I Miss You")

drcastrato · 1 year ago

I think I'm wrong again, but the puzzle song should be something like, "At the Zoo" by Simon and Garfunkel

Scraps · 1 year ago

Not "At the Zoo" by Simon and Garfunkel.

Rankoutsider · 1 year ago

11. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Mickey's Monkey

Scraps · 1 year ago

Ooh, nice guess, but not The Mammals, "Lay Down Yr Mountain"

Scraps · 1 year ago

I did nearly use "Mickey's Monkey" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and it's a good guess, but incorrect.

Chris · 1 year ago

11 - Monkey Time by Major Lance

Scraps · 1 year ago

"Monkey Time" by Major Lance is correct.

Puzzle Song

MatthewBolin · 1 year ago

2. Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs
3. Patti Page - (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?
17. Paul Anka - Puppy Love

Scraps · 1 year ago

I have also uploaded a slightly longer clip for the puzzle song.

Scraps · 1 year ago

correct:
Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs
Patti Page - Doggie in the Window
Paul Anka - Puppy Love

MichaelFortes · 1 year ago

I'll take a stab at 14... is it "Joe The Lion" by David Bowie?

Scraps · 1 year ago

"Joe the Lion" by David Bowie is correct.

Two songs left -- 7 and 20 -- plus the puzzle song.

Rankoutsider · 1 year ago

20 Would be "The Horse" by Cliff Nobles and Company. Was beaten out by Hugh Maskela's "Grazing in the Grass". I should have recognized the drum break.

Scraps · 1 year ago

"The Horse" by Cliff Nobles & Co. is correct. I thought if I included any part of the melody it would be guessed instantly, and even so the drum break is very recognizable, yeah.

Rankoutsider · 1 year ago

You could have clipped a very small horn part. I would have guessed something by Cake before the theme came out. Would have worked for "The Lonely Bull" also.

Scraps · 1 year ago

I didn't even think of "The Lonely Bull".

Scraps · 1 year ago

Another hint for number 7: if I used a vocal, it would be a dead giveaway.

becky · 1 year ago

"Release the Bats" by The Birthday Party

Scraps · 1 year ago

"Release the Bats" by the Birthday Party is correct.

The only thing left is the Puzzle Song. I think the slightly longer clip I posted is guessable, but if it's unguessed by tomorrow afternoon I'll post a longer clip.

M. · 1 year ago

Is the puzzle song is either something by the Dixie CHICKS

or COPPERHEAD Road by Steve Earle.

???

Scraps · 1 year ago

Neither the Dixie Chicks nor Steve Earle.

Scraps · 1 year ago

One of the earlier guesses of the puzzle song correctly identified something the 24 regular songs have in common, a something that is not shared by the Dixie Chicks or "Copperhead Road".

Scraps · 1 year ago

I've put up a longer clip of the puzzle song.

Marko · 1 year ago

The Mammals - Infinity Medley

Scraps · 1 year ago

It's not a song by the Mammals. This band is famous.

I think I own this puzzle song. Only wish that helped me in any way to identify it. I think I need to start listening to my albums again.

nhmehta · 1 year ago

Been bugging me for awhile. It's "Hairshirt" by R.E.M.

Scraps · 1 year ago

Yes! It is "Hairshirt" by R.E.M. Congratulations nhmehta! I believe if you drop a note to jefito at popdose dot come, he'll have a prize for you.

Whew! Didn't expect that to last so long. Thank you everyone for playing!
