Guess the song

[joachimt]

So here's a new game: Guess the song

The rules:
1. Post a sample of a song
2. Other people can guess which song it is
3. Post another sample at least every 12 hours if nobody guessed it yet
4. If there's no new sample within 48 hours, anyone can start with another song
5. If someone answers correctly, that someone may post the next sample to guess

You are free to choose how long the sample should be, but make it possible to guess.
There's no limitation to obscurity, but again... make it possible to guess. ;)
You can either upload a file or put it youtube and post a flash.

Here is a useful site to cut a piece from a MP3: http://mp3cut.net/

Or you can use this easy piece of software:
Free MP3 Cutter

[joachimt]

So here is the first one.

Great idea! Your first sample sounds like it's been sped up though. I presume that was not intentional?

I guess that website sucks or my source MP3 has a flaw. Give me a moment to make a new sample.

[joachimt]

Now I used Free MP3 Cutter. Very easy to use. Very quick.

This sounds right.

I'm glad to see this game went on its way while I was away for the last 6 hours.

No idea what the last song is.

[joachimt]

New sample, Armo?

[Armoreska]

You mean another track? (although if I post a bit of lyrics someone might at least catch the name of the band hmm)

No, my idea was just like "name that movie". Post a different sample from the same song until someone gets it.

[Armoreska]

here's two
that's all that's not very googlable

First one sounds somewhat similar to Zappa's Willie the Pimp, but it isn't, is it?

Scratch that. Still that "US top 5" song, right?

[SkilledLunatic]

Maroon 5 - Animals?

[Armoreska]

wrong genre both times

[joachimt]

But what does "US top 5" mean? Is it currently in the top 5 of the US charts? Wouldn't be so hard to find it out then.

[Armoreska]

Actually that was misinformation. The album was a US Billboard Top 5 hit in year 2000, but the single did not chart at all apparently

Well, if no one knows it, someone else should probably post something else

[funkybusiness]

something off Stankonia? no, production style's wrong. Common? or it could be off Stankonia... I don't know. or it's Ghostface but that album only hit 7. and Common's only hit 5 on the hip hop charts.

actually, Wu Tang had an album in 2000. It might be that. Track? I dunno.

[SkilledLunatic]

You're right funky, the track is "Careful (Click, Click)" from The W album.

[SkilledLunatic]

Next one!

theme song to the Cosby Show?

[Local Hero -- aka MestnyiGeroi]

Next one!

The pop-up window that played the tune for me said the name of the song.

oh, yeah. apparently mp3cut.net doesn't strip the mp3s of their metadata.

[SkilledLunatic]

Hmm? Which browser are you using? I don't understand, I can't see the title anywhere.

[Armoreska]

Yay! I used my mp3tag to remove titles from the first sample
The software MP3 cutter didn't keep the titles, but I found it imprecise

[SkilledLunatic]

I might be young but I sure don't understand much about computers
Exactly how can I fix this problem?
PS: I changed the file title if that's what you all are speaking of (probably not).

In Windows: Right-click on the file and choose "properties". Click on the tab "details". There are tags for songtitle, artist, album, etc... You can remove them there maually.

[Armoreska]

new sample please?

[SkilledLunatic]

OK!!!! New one with all the data removed.
