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

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

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.

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

Indeed, "rocker doing mandolin" fits the case.

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

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.

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.

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

The Mammals - Infinity Medley

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Fourteen

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".

Re: Name That Tune, Game Fourteen

Scraps — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:44:59 -0000

Neither the Dixie Chicks nor Steve Earle.

Is the puzzle song is either something by the Dixie CHICKS

or COPPERHEAD Road by Steve Earle.

???

"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.

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Fourteen

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Fourteen

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.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Fourteen

"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.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Fourteen

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.
