MikeJ put together a new Name That Tune, in honor of Labor Day!
You know how it goes: there are twenty song clips below, from twenty different songs, from twenty different artists. Name the song and the artist.
I'm going to play this one, too, since I don't know what the songs are, either.
Rules
- You get 1 point if you name the song.
- You get 1 point if you name the artist.
- Therefore, you get two points if you name both.
- Leave your answers in comments.
- Your answers will be hidden from everyone
but you and me- i can't see your answers on this one, either. - The contest ends on Friday, September 10th, 12:00pm EST (GMT -4). I'll reveal the comments, and the answers, and total up the points, then.
- Maybe MikeJ will provide hints ?
- The person with the most points will win a wonderful prize !
