MikeJ has put together a special Labor Day "Name That Tune" for us. He gave me the 20 clips, but not the answers, so I'm going to play too, as soon as I figure out how to hide comments from myself... hopefully within the next hour so...
Stay tuned!

I dare you to despise bureaucracy and all its lies
If you can’t get it to work, email your answers and I suspect most people will accept your promise to not read the thread.
i’ve figured out how to hide them from myself, now i’m trying to figure out if i can make WP hide the comment text when it sends me comment notifications.
if i can’t do that, i’ll have to disable comment notifications completely. and that would suck. i love my comment notifications.
When the time comes for hinting, you’ll need to get a spouse or workmate to copy and paste the text of the thread and email it to me to get scores and to know what needs hinting. But we’ll burn that cross when we bridge it.
hmmm… yeah, that could be tricky. it’s set up now so nobody can see anything but their own comments.
maybe i could get it to write the comments rot13’d or something then i could copy the thread, send it to you, then turn off the rot13 ?
or maybe just do hints for all of them ?
ah… here’s how i can handle this:
i’ll create a ‘user’ account for you (MikeJ), and then i’ll tweak my “semi-private comments” plugin to always show you the comments on that post.
watch your inbox.
New guest poster! ok-cleek has gone big time.
not sure what privileges a ‘user’ account has on WP. i suspect it’s just a spam-filter proof login. though if it turns out you can post, MikeJ, feel free ! :)
Are the answers still visible to everyone?
Standings so far:
Cleek: 22 (10 title and artist, 2 artist only)
Platosearwax: 14 (7 correct, including two that I thought were on the tougher end of the spectrum.)
Cris: 10 (4 complete, 2 artist only)
Hints tomorrow.
Still visible.
crap.
sorry about that.
they looked fine to me…
should be fixed now.
should we call it, or did everyone avert their eyes ?
I averted mine. As my score indicates.
i didn’t see anything (obviously).
Some hints for the songs nobody has guessed even thew artist:
04 Sleepwear for invisible rabbit
12 Recent victim of lack of health insurance
13 OMG! WTF? _ _ _ _
15 Tired, but not English
18 The only people allowed certain jackets in the 80s
Once you’ve got the artist, merely perusing a list of songs by that artist should help you with the song, if you keep the theme in mind.
And I don’t think you’ve got the whole comment hiding thing worked out. I can’t see rae’s comment on spider mom, or anything in the name that tune thread.
both should be fixed now.
FY,WPDocumentation
Last chance!
I’ll have the final results soon.
