Ladies and gents, Part 2 is Up. You all know the drill.

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 2 points each) and 3 songs in Level 3 (worth 5 points each). If you guess all the songs correctly, you'll get a Completion Bonus - 5 points for Level 1, 5 points for Level 2 and 10 points for Level 3 rounding it off to a not-so-nice 55 points total.

All attempts should be PMed to me by Sunday, 8th March 2009 at 11:00 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.

Scoring system has changed.

Songs have been cut much shorter - but I think they should be quite enough to guess the song.

I remember the days when i had 15-30 second samples. :p

Sent :D Didn't know anything more than easy songs.
 
I sense... 1-3 points. Pathetic of me. And the thing about not knowing the 80s one, but knowing the 50s one when I'm born in '90... Odd...
 
DE, you and me both. The goldie was the only one I had a chance on.
 
Okay, I already Have a firm one (102, which was definitely not made in the 80's btw), so maybe if I have time I'll try harder with the others...

This is my way of asking for a slight extension, to be honest ;)
