Do You Know the Names of These Songs?

Tuesday, 30 December 2014, 0:45 BFH Home 14

I covered the screen with some paper and played along. There are 79 famous tunes (at least a dozen I never heard before in my life, but most are very familiar) that often appear in commercials and cartoons and movies.

I was able to name or partially name (some of these are in a foreign language!!! I was very liberal scoring my guesses!) 35 of them. I’m not strong on the opera, but I came through on some of them that were redone by progressive rock bands.

What pissed me off is that I have a few of the tunes in my Spotify but I still didn’t know the name. The first one out of the chute, for instance. It’s from Austin Powers, but I had no clue what it was called.

(There is a part 2. I’m going to go play.)

  2. Are those from the ipod 0bama gave to the Queen?

    You’d have to be pretty weird to be able to name them all.

    I knew a few of them. My dad asked me to lean how to play “Wheels” on the guitar when I was about 13. He even went out and bought an album with “Wheels” on it, but it was the wrong version – he got the Flying Burrito Bros version instead of the Billy Vaughan version. I learned the Chet Atkins version, so wtf.

    Left Bank Two is pretty cool.

  9. Well, that was interesting but I think I’d take exception to the assertion that “everyone knows” these tunes. If you’re a certain age, culture or nationality you’ll know a certain set of them.

    In my case I was familiar with the older pieces and the classical. The younger pop stuff was foreign to me.

    But this was a good effort. I’m saving the link for future reference.
