Years ago, on the Johnny Carson show, he would enable
the audience to come up with the name of a song and then
proceed to allow Doc and the boys the chance at guessing it by playing it. They called it "Stump The Band".
It was quite interesting in that there were some pretty
obscure offerings. 9 times out of 10, the band would come through with flying colours.
Now, I guess it would be easy to do here in this manner if
folks would post a musical clip. That would work.
However, not being that tech-savy, I'd like to try another
route if possible and simply use lyrics...and in that manner
call this "Stump the Audience"
Yes, we may have in fact had something like this previously, but thought I'd try it again to see if it sparked any interest...and besides, Rick is still on vacation and is most likely sitting back watching us chase our tails...(let's not allow him to see us catching the damn things)!
I'll start off with an easy set.
3 songs in a set.
At this point, there is no scoring method unless you want to keep track of it at home... ;D
Very easy to play...from the lyrics listed below...name the song and if you can, name the artist.
Now here's the kicker...if you have to Google it, you don't get
any points.
Are we on the "honour system"?...Yes we are, haven't we always been?...
If you don't know it, say so.
1. "A thumb goes up, a car goes by, It's nearly 1 A.M. and here am I"...
2. "Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way"...
3. "Oh I feel it comin' back again, Like a rollin' thunder chasin the wind, Forces pullin from the centre of the Earth again, I can feel it".
Thanks
