    22 is "Wonderwall." And once again, "Earth Angel" is nowhere to be found.

    3. I'm Gonna Make You Mine - Lou Christie
    5. Celebrate - 3 Dog Night
    13. White Bird - It's a Beautiful Day
    16. Do You Want to Dance - Bobby Freeman

  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Those are all correct, and I'm going to list them, because the game needs more correct guesses. Thanks for helping out!

    In the future, though, please limit yourself to three guesses between updates of the list (as it says in the rules). Thanks!
  • JonCummings · 1 year ago
    19 is "Wishing You Were Here" by Chicago.
  • Gary Lucy · 1 year ago
    8. Tommy James "Crimson & Clover"
    10. Urge Overkill "Bottle of Fur"
    19. Chicago "Wishing You Were Here"
  • Gary Lucy · 1 year ago
    D'oh,,,jon snuck in w/Chicago while I was composing. So I'll take a mulligan on my 3rd with a longshot...
    11. Foreigner "Headknocker"
  • Jerry · 1 year ago
    I think #10 is Positive Bleeding by Urge Overkill, but I never would've gotten it without Gary Lucy's guess.

    Other than that, I'm stumped. Good clips this week!
  • JonCummings · 1 year ago
    12 is "You Make Lovin' Fun" by Fleetwood Mac. And my wild crack at the Puzzle Song is "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." But if that's true, who's the first artist listed? Stevie?
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Jee Gee, I'm going to assume everyone knows who did "Wonderwall", so I'll give you that one: but in the future, the artist must be guessed too with the song. :-)
  • Jee Gee · 1 year ago
    You're the best, dude.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    correct:
    22 Oasis, Wonderwall
    19 Chicago, Wishing You Were Here
    10 Urge Overkill, Positive Bleeding
    12 Fleetwood Mac, You Make Living Fun

    incorrect:
    Tommy James, Crimson and Clover
    Urge Overkill, Bottle of Fur
    Foreigner, Headknocker
    Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks, Stop Dragging My Heart Around

    (Bad luck, Gary Lucy!)
  • volley · 1 year ago
    #15 Paul McCartney, Hope of deliverance
    #4 Foreigner, Urgent

    Would you please tell us the last songs of Game 19?
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I will do that; let me see if I can track it down from here.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    from game 19:

    4 - The Worst That Could Happen by the Brooklyn Bridge

    6 - Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

    8 - The Past Is a Grotesque Animal by Of Montreal
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    "Hope of Deliverance" and "Urgent" are incorrect.
  • DavidMedsker · 1 year ago
    1. Whirly Girl, Oxo
    4. Rhythm of Love, Yes (not 100% sure on this one)
    6. At My Most Beautiful, REM
  • Jerry · 1 year ago
    What the hell -- is #6 At My Most Beautiful by REM?
  • Jerry · 1 year ago
    Whoops - should've hit "refresh" before I guessed.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Correct:
    "Whirly Girl" by Oxo
    "Rhythm of Love" by Yes (nice guess!)
    "At My Most Beautiful" by R.E.M.
  • DavidMedsker · 1 year ago
    Until I heard Fleetwood Mac and Oasis, I thought you were doing a three-letter band theme here. :)
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Ha!
  • ddsoutherland · 1 year ago

  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I'll give a partial for "Long May You Run", if someone can adjust the artist guess...
  • MatthewBolin · 1 year ago
    Oh, you meant the Stills-Young Band.
    Yeah, that always gets me, because I know it more from Decade than the original album.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Stills-Young Band - "Long May You Run" is correct.

    I'm heading out for the evening, and may not be able to check this till much later. I think there's enough showing here to make some good guesses, though.
  • MatthewBolin · 1 year ago
    Puzzle Song:

    Dennis Wilson - River Song
  • MichaelFortes · 1 year ago
    I'm going to step in for Scraps just to confirm that... YES, you are correct, sir!

    ...which means you get one of the two copies of the new double disc edition of Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue.
  • Ken (Gaper's Blog) · 1 year ago
    # 2 "Sliver" Nirvana
  • EvilNickname · 1 year ago
    Unless I'm very much mistaken, #15 is Guns n' Roses - Look at your game girl, which is a Charles Manson cover, and a hidden track on The Spaghetti Incident.
  • MichaelFortes · 1 year ago
    Both "Sliver" by Nirvana and "Look at Your Game, Girl" by Guns N' Roses are correct.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Thanks, Michael!
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Would anyone care to take a guess at the acrostic, now that the puzzle song -- Dennis Wilson's "River Song" - has been identified? It would help with guessing the rest of the songs.
  • Bediver · 1 year ago

  • Jee Gee · 1 year ago
    8. Everly Brothers-- Devoted to You? 18. The Animals-- Sky Pilot?
  • Jee Gee · 1 year ago
    11. The Raspberries-- "On the Beach." Seven's got to be The Upsetters, but I'm not sure which title track-- "Eastwood Rides Again?" "Super Ape?" Let's go with "Super Ape."
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Correct:
    7 - Upsetters, Super Ape
    8 - Everly Brothers, Devoted to You
    18 - Animals, Sky Pilot

    Incorrect:
    11 - Raspberries, On the Beach

    I really hate to do this, because I'm leaving the last tune and the prize on the table, but here goes.

    11. Rupert Holmes- The Pina Colada Song, and
    20. Howlin' Wolf- Spoonful
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Incorrect:
    11. Rupert Holmes- The Pina Colada Song, and
    20. Howlin' Wolf- Spoonful

    On two of the three remaining, the correct artist has been guessed once.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I am making longer clips for the three remaining tunes.

    I actually thought #20 would be one of the first ones guessed. Go figure.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Okay, longer clips:

    11 - R


    14 - N


    20 - H
  • Bedivere · 1 year ago
