The thread inspired by a contagious gameshow...

I (or anyone else who wants to join) plays a tune with any instrument they know how to play, puts it online by some means, and links it here and people have to try to guess what song it is.

Unlike Name Those Lyrics, you cannot easily cheat (GOOGLE) in this thread.

But be fair, make it a tune that's at least semi-known, not some riff you made up yourself.

Yes, I know this thread is going to be very short-lived, but hey, I was bored.

I'm going to start you off with a very easy one!  If you can't name it:  1. You shouldn't be on this message board, or 2: I really really suck at playing guitar.

<h3>Name That Tune!</h3>

Thanks to slimmy and CGEF et al for the guitar tabs that came in handy for this one (There's a hint!)

I know because Travis sent it to me before he made the thread.  So I won't spoil it for everyone.  Because it's really really hard.   ;)

wow. that's hard. i really can't tell what the tune is from.    ;)

but i think this thread is discriminating. what do you want me to do, play a tune on the drums? woo.
and i'm not good enough at bass to play something there. plus i have no microphone.
you see, once again, it's totally unfair.
like everything you do, d_t.  ;)

That was easy.

You could hum a tune if you can't play an instrument - obviously not without a microphone though... I have a microphone but no webspace (and no pressing desire to get any!).

I could sing (into) the mic Travis let me borrow, but I'm a little self conscience with my singing. 

I really wish I could play acoustic guitar.

My suggestion would be to use a snatch of a popular MP3 song, maybe the intro.

That's what I'd do.  Otherwise I'm with Spiffy.

And Mel, there are several willing hosters who could host a file for you.

Is it the Happy Birthday song? Did you know Michael Jackson had the rights to that at one point?

I'm with Spiff here too. I only know how to play drums, and even if I did manage to play a coherant tune, there would only be like 3 PEELers invloved (me, melllvar and the spiff). Plus I can't get my PC mic downstairs.

I thought about making the thread "Name that beat" where I post a drum chart and see if ANYONE can work out what it is...
EDIT: When I was down at the dotmusic forums I made a game where I took a snatch from a song like you hear on the radio, but made it either REALLY short, or put loads of white noise over the top. Twas funny for a while. May do that again... if I do, they wont be rock songs though. It will all be ultra cheesy pop!

I would host it for you MelBee if I have to upload it just like a picture.  I wouldn't mind.  I don't have much on my netfirms account.  I'm sure someone will tell me if that's not how you upload it so have at it, by all means.

Thank you for your webspacey offers, but I too am a bit concerned I would sound like an idiot. *comes over all shy*

Cupcake can host files for you, so can I, I have many many accounts, but your complete file has to be UNDER 230KBs, otherwise it won't work, unless [-mArc-] is willing to let me take up a few megs of the people.peelified account.

To get files to me, e-mail me at nelsonemjay@yahoo.com or find me on a messenger (Yahoo!  AIM  MSN) Or get me in the chatroom:

Server: irc.irchat.tv
Channel: #futuramachat
Java

If you want to hum something, go ahead, I'd like to stay away from lyrics though...

I'll make more tunes, to keep the thread alive if nobody else can participate, but she won't last long cap'n.

It may be real easy, but unless I hear it, I won't be guessing it in a million years.

Here's another!

Before you listen to this... I'll tell you that the guitar I'm using is very very cheap, and has very very dull strings.  Strings that rattle annoyingly on the frets when you get close to the belly of the guitar.  So this one won't sound right as it's low on the fret board.

Another to come soon.

OK, it was All The Small Things by Blink 182...

Someone else next!   :p

EDIT: And Travis' was Linkin Park - In The End, I think. Sure sounded like it.

If you followed the thread, you would realise that I was taking the piss. I'm still bitter about the Santa Claws thing by the way. If bart gets the coolest avatar ever in the history of the world, surely I should get the prize in this competition  :p
