Name That Tune!
One of my favorite TV shows to watch growing up was "Name That Tune" where participants received a clue and then would say how many notes they could name the song in. I was always amazed when they could do it in 2 or 3 notes!
Now, when we are in the car, we often play our own version of name that tune. When a song starts, we guess who the artist is. I'm not very good and am often mocked for my guesses. But I still keep playing, hoping that some day those bits of knowledge will somehow stick in my brain.
So, I thought a little game of Name That Tune would be fun here. Especially since I know the answers and don't have to reveal my lame guesses :)
While there is no prize for having the most points, we all know it's all about being able to say you won! I'll list the first line of a song (or maybe the second one if the song's title is in the first line). Scoring uses the honor system :) One point for the correct song title, one point for the correct artist, and five points if you can guess the theme for the songs for a possible total of 25 points. No fair using Google or any other search engine - brain power only! Most importantly, have fun!
