Hi everyone, Happy Christmas! I was playing a certain Christmas song intro on the Friday Zoom call and that got me smiling and thinking I would put up this little bit of amusement for you. So if you want to play along, this is a Classic Christmas Song Intro game.
The Soundcloud file below features 10 brief intros of Christmas songs. (Except one song is actually an outro.) For each song you have to name:
1) The Song (1 point)
2) The artist name (1 point)
3) The year of release, or one year either side (1 point)
So that's
three possible points per song and a max of
30 points for the whole game.
The very rough recording by me (ipad inbuilt mic held up to a loudspeaker!
) features 10 songs with a few seconds silent gap between each of them. You can stop the track if you need more time, but you shouldn't replay anything more than twice max. No more than FIVE MINUTES to complete. No Googling or other internet assistance permitted.
I will also post another thread called Christmas Intros Game - Answers. So you can check out your score.
If you want to, in THIS thread, you could let us know how many points out of thirty you got, or you could just say you took part without revealing your score.
If more than one person publishes their score we'll be able to see who is the
forum's biggest Christmas Song Nerd. Or else the
forum's Biggest Christmas liar! Although I am sure nobody would cheat, as what's the point!?
It is just a bit of fun anyway, most of the songs are easy to get, or at least not very hard. Getting the year right would be the hardest thing.
Anyhow, good luck and here is the file link!
