Survive The Song Intros

[Kol]

Welcome to Survive the song intros

This time, I will be presenting audio files with song intros, you will have to name the songs.

Depending on how many play, I will limit eliminations to a max of 2 per round. I will take into account your scores in previous rounds to break ties.

You all start with 4 tokens which you can use at any point. 

Year: This token will give you the year of ONE song that you are stuck on.

Artist: This token will give you the artist of ONE song you are stuck on 

Piggyback: This token lets you copy the answer of ONE song of another player (You can choose the player)

Assassin: This token can win you all the remaining tokens from another player, if you play it in a round on a particular player and they get eliminated, you earn their tokens.


The preliminary round will be posted today and will run until Sunday evening.
No one will be eliminated in this round, your scores will count towards tie breakers if needed later. You cannot use any tokens in this round.

As usual, no Google, Shazam, or other methods of help and please PM your answers. Chat away on this thread though please don't say too much about your particular answers.

Good luck everyone and have fun

Oooh a heardle game I'm usually good at these

[nothing]

That was very hit and miss for me, not expecting to make it very far!

[RSOAPS]

I like the lady who announces the numbers, hope she sticks around for the whole competition

[ari101]

[Jluv]

Half way through it @Kol . Will get answers in tomorrow..

[ari101]

I've chanced what I can think of 🤞🤞🤞😅😆

[aaronjennings]

Thanks for the invite, but considering how badly I did in the lyrics game, and since I only know three of these, I think I'd be better off giving this one a miss and leave the pros to it

[Mam of 4]

My extremely bad guesswork is in .

[jp liz v1]

Oh nice I'll play

[E.N.]

I'm in, but intros are a real weakness of mine. I recognise them instantly, but I'm so bad at placing the actual song

I notice it when I go to gigs. It can be a band I love, starting a song I love and the crowd will go crazy. Ten seconds later I'll work it what it is 🙈

[Kol]

We have 9 players so far and liz said she would pm me also.

I'm happy to leave it an extra day if the weekend is not a great time for ppl to get an entry in.

Shout if you want to play but wont get time today.

From those so far, one song in particular is proving difficult and I thought it was quite an iconic intro. 6 from 9 didnt know it.

[davetherave]

I'll fire an entry in in a few minutes, how hard can it be??

[jp liz v1]

Sorry will listen now

This !!

Plus it's so annoying when you know you know it but just can't bring it to mind ggrrr!

Number ten I'm talking about you in particular.

Has to be the second song, I'm surprised three people even know it!

Everyone knows the second song, including you, you just don't know you know it yet

I probably know the name of it but there's a distinct whiff of 80's hair metal off it which means I've likely never listened to it

[Kol]

11 players now, we will press ahead with the reveal tonight.

Another hour to enter

[Declan A Walsh]

Sorry - I was not looking here until this evening. I won't be able to give it my full attention so I will have to give it a miss. Thanks for remembering me @Kol
