I am making longer clips for the three remaining tunes.

I actually thought #20 would be one of the first ones guessed. Go figure.

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.

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."

Re: Name That Tune, Game Twenty

Jee Gee — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:50:53 -0000

8. Everly Brothers-- Devoted to You? 18. The Animals-- Sky Pilot?

7. U - title track of classic album by famed reggae producer's 1970s studio group

8. E - top ten hit by 1950s duo, covered by puzzle song artist's main group

11. R - puzzle song artist's group inspired this album track by 1970s power pop progenitors

18. A - last u.s top 40 hit by reconstituted version of one of the original 1960s British invasion groups

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.

Thanks, Michael!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Twenty

Both "Sliver" by Nirvana and "Look at Your Game, Girl" by Guns N' Roses are correct.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Twenty

EvilNickname — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:08:35 -0000

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.

# 2 "Sliver" Nirvana

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.
