Kwiz - Name that tune
Chad Ochoseis Jul 12 2016 06:00 AM |
It's a slow week baseballwise, so I thought I'd throw a kwiz out there. Someone - Edgy, I think - posted a similar kwiz a few years ago.

2nd: "Who Are You"
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 12 2016 08:23 AM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
1st: "Without You?"
|
Edgy MD Jul 12 2016 10:39 AM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
Well, I was all set to say "Without You," but I didn't get up at 3:23 IN THE MORNING!
|

These are hard. I'd like to think I would have gotten the first two, that LWFS got, but who the hell knows.
|
Edgy MD Jul 12 2016 12:04 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
3rd song: "Peace Train."
|
Chad Ochoseis Jul 12 2016 12:50 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
I really thought this was going to keep youse occupied for a while. I'm particularly blown away that Without You went so fast.
|
cooby Jul 12 2016 12:54 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
Without You has some key words close together :)

Chad Ochoseis Jul 12 2016 01:39 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
I guess having "without" and "you" close together does help. But there aren't any key words in that song that would have gotten me to think "Hey, it's Nilsson". "Sorrow", maybe. The other ones all have a word or two in them that would have flicked a light on in my brain if I were taking the quiz. Or that's what I'd like to think.
|
cooby Jul 12 2016 01:45 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
Sorrow and shows kinda do although they are backward. Admittedly I am noticing this after I know the answer!

Key word: Free-ee-ee-dommm
|
cooby Jul 12 2016 01:51 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
Please do! And now 'Help Me' is so freaking obvious I feel like an idiot
|
Chad Ochoseis Jul 12 2016 02:24 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |

I'm all for it. Breaking down the lyrics is a pain; I created an Excel spreadsheet to do it.
|
cooby Jul 12 2016 02:27 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
Wow I thought you found a website that did it
|
Edgy MD Jul 12 2016 02:27 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
I've heard "Help Me" one million times and I wasn't close to guessing it. I just fixated on "rambler" and "gambler" and could only think of swaggering dude music like Seger and the Allmans and Steve Miller.

|
Chad Ochoseis Jul 12 2016 03:14 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
I saw that and almost instantly thought "Brandy" by Looking Glass. But it doesn't have some key words from that song, such as, say, "Brandy".
|
Edgy MD Jul 12 2016 03:33 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
Are we staying within the decade of the seventies, or can this be from anywhere or anywhen?
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 12 2016 03:50 PM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
This song is from the 1970s.

Works even better if you edit out redundancies. Else, "She Loves You" despite being a collection of very common words, is instantly recognizable from the proliferation of Yeahs.

I don't have any method for coming up with songs. Clue: This one is from the 1980s.

|
Frayed Knot Jul 13 2016 02:08 AM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |

The absence of the word 'Sleep' indicates that this is the Carpenters version as opposed to the earlier Bonnie Bramlett/Leon Russell composition as Karen & Richard altered the lyrics so as to keep to their clean-cut image: ... and I can hardly wait to be with you again

Nice job on "So. Central Rain." I guess I'm still serving. I'm removing capitals and other punctuation, too, except apostrophes. I'm not sure if that's in the spirit of the thing.

Clues: It's a shitty song Batmags probably hates, and I realize now, the lyrics suck. They're basically just words accompanying the brand of shiny 80s pop-funk the band made a brief career of. Too much info?

Chad Ochoseis Jul 15 2016 03:07 AM Re: Kwiz - Name that tune |
For years I tried to figure out what Clapton was saying, figuring that it couldn't possibly be "married to Mabel". Then Al Gore invented the interwebs and I was finally able to look it up and, yeah, married to Mabel.

I would get those particular Dylan references in a second, especially since you are referencing only two albums.
