BananaLee's Music Quiz No.1

[BananaLee]

Ladies and gents, annouuncing the return of the good old music quiz we all know and love, formerly done by Heretic_Cata way back when.

Anyway, the premise is simple; I have for you a whole pile of sound clips from various songs I pick out of my playlist. Each of them has a certain difficulty level associated with it. Get the song right, and you get points.

Now, here's the scoring system: -

There are 10 songs in Level 1 (worth 1 point each), 5 songs in Level 2 (worth 5 points each) and 3 songs in Level 3 (worth 10 points each). If you guess all the songs correctly, you'll get a Completion Bonus - 5 points for Level 1, 10 points for Level 2 and 20 points for Level 3 rounding it off nicely to 100 points total.

All attempts should be PMed to me by Monday, 16th February 2009 at 3:00 a.m. GMT

HINT: If you find some clips rather irritatingly short, try looping them. Most of them are the main hooks of the song.

Good job, guys

 

[Niklas]

As expected I didn't know more than a handful.

 

[BananaLee]

It's alright, you have more than a week to dig them up.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

ZOMG - i'm donwloading.

Go to the signatures thread and post there that you started a new music quiz- more people might see it.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I knew 5 songs. FAIL

 

[BananaLee]

You've got quite a while to guess more songs

What signatures thread? *blink*

 

[Heretic_Cata]

FIRST PLACE

There used to be a more recent thread. But this got bumped a few days ago ...

[Niklas]

How come I'm not up there at 9 points too?

 

[BananaLee]

Because you didn't PM

 

[Niklas]

Very well dear sir, a PM hath been sent to your inbox for your immediate perusal.

 

[BananaLee]

And the scoreboard hath been updated

 

[scherbchen]

15 years ago I would have killed this... now? I merely sob myself to sleep at night.

 

[Icekommander]

Well, I'll just quietly add my name at the bottom of the score board

 

[BananaLee]

15 years ago, a very good proportion of these songs wouldn't have existed..

 

[Icekommander]

Must... resist... urge... to.... google

But I swear I've heard the Inspiration Time one before...


Edit: You will tell us what they are at the end right?

 

[BananaLee]

What if I said no?

 

[Love]

I knew 2 level 1 songs

 

[Izipo]

Allrighty, I may have a clear shot at at least 3 points. So, expect a little PM sometime later.

And thanks for putting this up. It's been a while since we had one.
