Mystery Song Contest - Entry III
« on: August 03, 2006, 06:46:26 AM »

Hey everyone! It's been too long since the last contest, so here's one for all of you.

Just like me, the music I listen to is all over the place, so expect a contest as such. The tracks will be easy for some, harder for others. Here goes!

- Song One
- Song Two
- Song Three
- Song Four
- Song Five

You can respond here if you like with answers, just for show and/or to help others out. Whoever has the most correct answers is the winner! There's only five, so it's not a huge one. Good luck everyone! I'll post the answers this coming Monday!

You are correct, sir.

That was an easier one, of course. The rest may cause some difficulty for some of you.

Song 4 sounds like it came from a video game!

Thats because it did..sort of. Invasion of the Gabber Robots I think was the title. It's from the infamous All Your Base flash. http://allyourbase.planettribes.gamespy.com/video1_view.shtml

The second one sounds a bit like "Hell's Bells" (AC/DC) in the first bit, but in the second part it doesn't sound like it at all.

You have the correct title, but who was the artist/band who created it?

Is number two also "Don't Fear the Reaper?" Like a metal version?

Not to drop any hints, major or minor, but no. It's not a Metal version of 'Don't Fear The Reaper', although it's obviously a Metal song.

I'll keep the contest running this week until I see a few more attempts to solve 'em. I had hoped for some activity this weekend, but that's alright. Just give it a try whenever you have the time.

From the sound of the guitars I'd say that no. 2 is The Cult. I flipped through a few songs but it's not in my collection.

Well I'm a little dissapointed at the number of members interested in this thing, but that's alright. I may throw another up sometime in the next little while, so keep checking back.

This contest's answers are as follows:

Song One: Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper

Song Two: Borknagar - Colossus

Song Three: Tenacious D - Double Team

Song Four: The Laziest Men On Mars - Invasion Of The Gabber Robots

Song Five: Muse - Map Of The Problematique

Hope you enjoyed it!
