Posted November 19, 20213 yr Hi all Here is my NMTB quiz. :music: There are 25 clips, all mashed together, for you to identify. Please PM me your answers, listing the artist and title for each of Numbers 1 to 25. All the songs are Top 40 hits and all seven decades from the 1960s to the 2020s are represented! To make it a bit more interesting, the quiz has not one but two themes running through it. Here is how it works: - 11 of the songs follow Theme A but not Theme B - 11 of the songs follow Theme B but not Theme A - 1 of the songs follows both Theme A and Theme B - 2 of the songs are red herrings which follow neither theme – however one of them complements Theme A in some way and the other complements Theme B in some way Also please guess which will be the most and the least correctly identified clips. You can give me a number from 1 to 25 for this even if you don’t know it yourself. Obviously Shazam or anything like that is not allowed, but internet research to find songs that might fit the themes is fine. Here are the clips. Apologies that the quality is not great but hopefully it’s all listenable. Scoring 2 points for each artist (please do include all OCC credits) 2 points for each title Bonuses 1) Which will be the most correctly answered clip? (2) 2) Which will be the least correctly answered clip? (2) 3) What is Theme A? (3) 4) What is Theme B? (3) 5) Which clip follows both themes? (3) 6) Which 2 clips are the red herrings? (4) 7) How do the red herrings relate to Themes A and B respectively? (3) Total 120 Good luck! :banana: Participants (17): chrissmith276 Dobbo Mangø *dandy King Rollo paulgilb Doctor Blind Mack Ansel Riser LewisGT jimwatts danvember Jade rio309 StoneDragon PeteFromLeeds Edited December 1, 20213 yr by JulianT
November 22, 20213 yr Got about half of them on first listen and a good few more that I definitely recognise and just need to work out. Hopefully the themes will jump out at me once I get a few more.
November 23, 20213 yr Author Would be interested to hear how people are doing with the themes - happy to give a little clue if I’ve made it too hard.
November 23, 20213 yr Got maybe 20 of these so far and I *think* I have an idea of one of the themes, not sure about the other...
November 24, 20213 yr Yeah I think I've got one of the themes though it might not be *exactly* what you're looking for. Haven't got the other one though.
November 24, 20213 yr Would be interested to hear how people are doing with the themes - happy to give a little clue if I’ve made it too hard. Clue would be helpful I think - I have tried to look at different stats for the songs I have (which is most of them) and not seeing any groupings!
November 24, 20213 yr Author I see the themes have stumped three league champions! :D They’re quite simple though. One of them relates to the artists it covers, and the other relates to the titles it covers.
November 24, 20213 yr Well I think I have one of them nailed but no clue on the other one or red herrings etc!
November 24, 20213 yr With six answers so far I think I'm a way off getting either of the themes! I'd like to hope getting them might help me work out what on earth the rest of the songs are though...
November 25, 20213 yr Author With six answers so far I think I'm a way off getting either of the themes! I'd like to hope getting them might help me work out what on earth the rest of the songs are though... Sorry there aren’t very many recent ones in this one so probably not up your street! The themes are both relatively rare features, hence the range of eras.
November 25, 20213 yr Author I presume we don't need to list all the songs that fit each theme? Nope, just what’s asked for in the questions. :)
November 25, 20213 yr #16 is really tough - I can't imagine anyone knowing it unless they bought the album as it's a part that wasn't present on the single!
November 25, 20213 yr #16 is really tough - I can't imagine anyone knowing it unless they bought the album as it's a part that wasn't present on the single! That's one of the few I'm struggling with. I definitely recognise it though so I know I've heard it. I'm hoping it will come to me!
November 25, 20213 yr Author #16 is really tough - I can't imagine anyone knowing it unless they bought the album as it's a part that wasn't present on the single! Oh sorry about that! I confess I wasn’t familiar with that intro existing myself but just assumed it was the definitive version as it’s what’s on Spotify!
November 25, 20213 yr That's okay - I have no problem with clues I can get that will be more difficult for others!!!! :lol:
November 25, 20213 yr #16 is really tough - I can't imagine anyone knowing it unless they bought the album as it's a part that wasn't present on the single! That's the final one that I got! Was doing my head in but then had an epiphany!
November 25, 20213 yr Have to say that I can't fathom the second theme at all. I'm very confident on one theme and the red herring for it.
November 25, 20213 yr I now have two themes that seem to fit, with one song that applies to both and two songs which don't apply to either - although any relations those two have to my themes are on the tenuous side! There are still 5 songs I haven't got, so I could be on completely the wrong track :lol:
