Posted October 20, 2024Oct 20 Back by popular demand, here is your second edition of Song Pictionary this quiz season! If you played last time then I'm sure you will be familiar with the rules but here's a quick recap: The idea is pretty simple - I've used AI to generate twenty images and all you have to do is guess the artist and the title from the image. The image contains a visual clue to both the artist and the title of the song, and it's very much a case of "say what you see". It's 1 point for a correct artist and 1 point for a correct song title. All the songs are reasonably well-known hits from across all decades - but unlike last time I haven't given you the decade as a clue, although I think in general the clues are easier this time around. I will say that the songs in this batch are on average much more recent than last time. I've only included one each from the 60s and 70s decades. (Only two of them didn't make the top 10, and six of them are UK number ones). As always, there are some bonus points also available to act as tie-breakers: * 2 points for correctly identifying the most correctly guessed clue * 2 points for correctly identifying the least correctly guessed clue * 2 points for correctly identifying what percentage of players will correctly guess all 20 clues (nearest wins) HOWEVER - unlike previously, these points will only act as tie-breakers in the case where people are tied on points. Here are some examples with answers, to give you an idea of what you're looking for. The answer I'm looking for here is Guns'n'Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door The answer here is The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun This one is The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army Here is a link to the results of the previous edition in case it helps give you an idea of the kind of thing I'm looking for: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=274906 Note: featuring artists are not included in the clue, there is only one which has a featuring artist but in this case, the picture only contains the main artist and the song title. If I feel that an answer vaguely fits the clue even though it's not the one I'm looking for, I may award half points. To enter, please PM me with your answers by 23:59 on Sunday 27th October. Results to follow on either the Monday or the Tuesday. Here are your clues: The numbering is 1-20 going from left to right along each row.

October 20, 2024Oct 20 Exciting! Looking forward to losing all my free time this week as I spend hours working these out!
October 20, 2024Oct 20 Can recognise maybe 10 after five minutes of looking, will have a think about the rest! 3 is very funny, love it!
October 20, 2024Oct 20 Author Just to let you know, I have changed one of the images (number 9) as I wasn't totally happy with it.
October 21, 2024Oct 21 Just to let you know, I have changed one of the images (number 9) as I wasn't totally happy with it. Is it the same song or have you chosen a different song to replace it as it's quite clear what it is now but that's not what I put before when I saw a red car.
October 21, 2024Oct 21 It's 1 point for a correct artist and 1 point for a correct song title. As always, there are some bonus points also available to act as tie-breakers: * 2 points for correctly identifying the most correctly guessed clue * 2 points for correctly identifying the least correctly guessed clue * 2 points for correctly identifying what percentage of players will correctly guess all 20 clues (nearest wins) HOWEVER - unlike previously, these points will only act as tie-breakers in the case where people are tied on points. Would it be better to say 4 points for a correct artist, 4 points for a correct song title, and 1 point for each of the bonus questions? Then, even if someone gets all 3 of the bonuses, they wouldn't overtake anyone who got more points on the main quiz.
October 21, 2024Oct 21 I thought 9 was pretty clear before, the first one I got. But think I've got the replacement too.
October 21, 2024Oct 21 Author Is it the same song or have you chosen a different song to replace it as it's quite clear what it is now but that's not what I put before when I saw a red car. Different song

October 21, 2024Oct 21 Certainly struggling on the last one. There's one other that seems quite difficult. :thinking:
October 21, 2024Oct 21 Submitted! Some very good and very funny ones, some very easy, a couple very hard. One honestly could be two different songs/artists, so I took a punt on the one I think works best with the image. No idea on the bonuses, so another shot in the dark with those!
October 21, 2024Oct 21 I'm finding this one miles harder than the first edition :( will need another go at it tomorrow with fresh eyes and mind
October 22, 2024Oct 22 Whew I’m finding this one tougher perhaps it’s lack of dates. Will have a think and submit sometime this week
October 22, 2024Oct 22 ^same, kinda helps knowing the decade, just to confirm or when in doubt between 2 answers
October 22, 2024Oct 22 Author If people are really struggling later in the week, I may consider adding the decades.
October 22, 2024Oct 22 A couple of other came to me while I was in bed last night thinking about these haha. Doing OK so far, a fair few still to get though!
October 22, 2024Oct 22 Ultimately, in order for anyone to succeed at this, you need to get inside the head of Mangø and work out how he comes up with his ideas and then you notice patterns emerging. ;)
