Guess The Song Experiment

kuksul08 · 11-13-2012, 10:51 PM

I find it funny how I can hear 1 second or less of any part of a song, usually on the radio, and know what song it is. It really takes a very small % of the song for you to recognize and remember the entire thing. Kind of amazing.

I made this little sample to test it out using pretty common songs. See how many you can identify. I'm guessing it won't be too hard. The samples are repeated so you can get a second listen.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

1. AC/DC - Back in Black
2.
3. I want to say something by Journey or Boston? I know the song, just can't place it.
4.
5.
6.
7. Gonna take a wild guess and say The Cure - Lovesong?
8. dammit I know this one but I can't name it, this is gonna bug me
9. Eagles - Hotel California
10. Outkast (dunno song name)

Ooh I missed this! Do another one!

kuksul08 · 11-14-2012, 09:52 PM

Nice job ac_2007, finished it off. I tried it on a couple coworkers, they got quite a few, but of course it depends on what kind of music you listen to. I will have to stick to popular songs.

Yeah, I chose mostly pop since most people have heard the songs and it wouldn't be TOO difficult. What do you listen to?
