Posted October 6, 2024Oct 6 Afternoon folks! Welcome to my second quiz of the current season, and this one is a fairly simple audio quiz, also known as NEVER MIND THE BUZZJACKS! In the audio clip below you will hear 13 songs, all you have to do is identify the artist and title of each song. However, the twist is that they may not sound the way you remember them ;) some have been sped up, some have been slowed down and some have been played backwards! In fact only two of them have been left intact. They are all UK top 20 hits from across various decades, most of them top 10 hits and three of them are number one hits. There is also something that all the songs have in common. You will receive bonus points if you can work out what this is. I always throw in a couple of low-scoring tie-breaker questions too, these are shown below. Points as follows: * 1 point for correct artist, 1 point for correct title (26 points) * What do all the songs have in common? (8 points, I may award fewer points for part of the connection) * What song will be the most correctly guessed? (2 points) * What song will be the least correctly guessed? (2 points) * What percentage of participants will correctly identify the full connection between the songs for maximum points? (2 points, nearest answer wins) Total points available: 40 To enter, please PM me your answers by 23:59 on Sunday 13th Oct. Good luck! Participants (20): CowTzy Mack.

October 6, 2024Oct 6 I'm never going to get this lol, I think I deserve some start up points for being deaf!!! Love the name of the quiz though. :wub:
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Yeah just gave it a listen, I'm gonna have to sit this one out. With my hearing, I can't identify songs I already know on the radio unless someone tells me they are playing so got no chance with this one. Good luck to everyone I'm falling down the scoreboard here. :cry:
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Aww I wonder if there’s a way to do an adjusted version for spiceboy (not that I can immediately think of one).

October 6, 2024Oct 6 Wow been a long time since we've had a round of NMTB, thanks for resurrecting it Mango! Is there a way of putting time stamps on the Soundcloud stream when the songs change, or was it a deliberate choice to leave it out? Confident I've got at least 8 - no idea what the connection is so far. Edited October 6, 2024Oct 6 by gooddelta
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Have 7 so far. Some really don't seem too difficult at all lol but those I've haven't got might take a long while or may never come lol so will come back to it. Was gonna say about putting down the time stamps thing too as although the first clip is just a very brief intro or appears that way.
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Author I deliberately didn't want to include timestamps. Working out where the songs change is all part of the challenge!
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Someone has got all but 2 of them already?! I've barely got 2! Need to get my ears adjusted to this by listening a few more times
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Aww I wonder if there’s a way to do an adjusted version for spiceboy (not that I can immediately think of one). Sorry, spiceboy. If there's a way I can do a modified version for you then please let me know as I don't want you to miss out! It’s ok I’ll just take the free points instead. :P I’m teasing it’s all good doubt I would have recognised any even if I could hear it properly 😅 Good luck everyone else I’ll watch out for the results.
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Oh Mangø, well we shall have to see what we can do but my brain isn't wired like this with others, I bet Roba will master it all! :lol:
October 6, 2024Oct 6 Author Oh Mangø, well we shall have to see what we can do but my brain isn't wired like this with others, I bet Roba will master it all! :lol: Persevere, I'm willing to bet you'll get more than you think!
October 7, 2024Oct 7 I deliberately didn't want to include timestamps. Working out where the songs change is all part of the challenge! That's fair, I had only counted 12 but now seen where two songs separate that I only spotted when I worked one of them out so it's all good. Edited October 7, 2024Oct 7 by gooddelta
October 7, 2024Oct 7 One of them sounds like an actual original version song from a certain South Africa band :lol:
October 7, 2024Oct 7 Author oops sounds very difficult on 1st listen, impossible task I fear :o I'm sure it will get easier with subsequent listens, many of the songs are very well known!
October 7, 2024Oct 7 I thought quite a lot of them were quite easy, although there’s definitely a few difficult ones to balance it out
October 7, 2024Oct 7 I bet Roba will master it all! :lol: Certainly won't lol. There's a couple tripping me up still. 11 especially sounds like a film soundtrack.
