Title: Mystery Song Contest - Week No. 1
Post by: Chris on May 28, 2006, 07:57:31 PM
This post (http://www.geekforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=3664) by Dark Shade sparked the idea of having a Mystery Song Contest in which each week there are five new 10-second song clips entered into the contest.

Each sound clip obviously has no name attached to it - that's your job to find out using your infinate wisdom. Furthermore, each clip doesn't contain any significant lyrics that could be Googled. Oops. And if it wasn't already hard enough, each sound clips has been recorded in reverse. Actually, just kidding about that reverse part. That would be pretty messed up if they were.

Here are this week's entires:

Song 1 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song1.mp3) - Difficulty: Easy

Song 2 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song2.mp3) - Difficulty: Moderate

Song 3 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song3.mp3) - Difficulty: Hard

Song 4 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song4.mp3) - Difficulty: Hard, but sounds familar to me!

Song 5 (http://www.gotthegeek.com/mystery_song/05-26-2006/song5.mp3) - Difficulty: Hard

Respond with the correct artist and song title. Who ever responds with the most correct answers will win an autographed picture of Bobby Dogerson (http://www.geekforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=1611)!

Yes, you got it. I'm surprised someone was able to get that one that quick. For any of you going, "Man, I think I know where that song is from!" It's from the beginning of the movie "Hackers" when they move to the city.

Accually I think its Hallowed Be Thy Name. But its been a long time since I heard Mariner so it might be that.

Unless I'm hallucinating (possible), it's also on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack.

It *is* on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack, but I know it because I hear it almost every Saturday at the dance club I frequent.

It is Hallowed Be Thy Name. Though this song clip did not come from an Iron Maiden song.  :-o

Well, I knew it was Iron Maiden, and it's quite hard to differentiate between solos so I just guessed. :P

It's a bummer I missed the contest. But I do really like GZA's "Feel Like An Empty." I haven't know their music long, but that song is just completely awesome to listen to. I'm sure some of you guys liekt his track too.

Feel Like An Enemy by Genius/GZA
