When I was a kid, KHJ radio in Los Angeles would occasionally have a contest where they would mix several songs together and the person that named the most would be declared the winner.
This is a variation on that, let's call it "Wall-Of-Sound Contest."
You will hear about 7 seconds of audio. There are seven five songs (left), all starting at the very beginning. I mix them in a way that each song has a "giveaway" moment. Points can only be scored by being the first person to name any of the songs. Each player should name as many as they can as soon as they can!
3 wrong song titles will result in disqualification!
The scoring goes like this:
First song named, 1 point Second song named: 2 points Third song named: 3 points Fourth song named 5 points Fifth song named: 8 points Sixth song named: 13 points Seventh Song named 21 points
Person with the most points wins!
FIRST CLUE: every song title has the name of a place, such as a city, state, or country in its title.
Additional clues will come when there's just a few songs left, and everyone seems stumped to go further...
As songs are named, I will remove them from the cacaphony, until the audio is thin enough that all songs are perceptible.
Best of luck to everyone![/quote]
Okay, here's a clue to the most obscure song in the 5 song cacaphony.
It starts us off on our trip, halfway across the Northern Hemisphere.
We start where our last "guessed" song left us off: in Southern California.
The next song title has the name of a city in it that is about 140 miles southeast of Southern California. Mostly south, a tad east.
The bandleader/band was prolific, scoring numerous #1 albums and Top 40 INSTRUMENTAL hits, mostly in THE SIXTIES. The bandleader had a #1 hit as a solo artist where he sings.
Because I am restricting the audio to the very beginnings/intros of these songs, this particular song is hard to hear in this mix as it's a simple drum pattern punctuated by a couple honking sounds.
Guess this song and I'll take it out-of-the cacaphony, making the remaining 4 easier to hear.
