Exceptional post: Test yourself in a music quiz! :)

Hey! A friend of mine just shared an amusing quiz link with me and I believe it's worth spreading :-)

An interesting test asks you to guess well-known songs from different eras only after hearing first second of each one. It's fun and serious at the same time; you can choose between 70's, 80's, 90's and recent hits.

My reasons to believe I'm 90's kind, received confirmation - this is the decade, I personally earned most points in :)

Good luck!

Start the test of 90's here!

#245 Die Toten Hosen - Tage wie diese

-Why?

I have heard this song in many public events lately (especially related to football public viewings). All the Germans were singing along; I wanted to join, but couldn't mumble a word. And how do you find a song from almighty Internet, if you can only croon a short melody of refrain (and no lyrics)?

I happened to see a night movie about political history of Germany tonight by Bundestag. During the Berlin Wall collapse part, they played t h i s(!) song again. By leaps and bounds, I grabbed my smartphone out of pocket and managed to record a short clip. Being so fulfilled after doing this - now i can f***ing find you, song!, cause you are recorded with lyrics and melody! :D Later, replaying the video in my phone again, I heard almost nothing, but wind that has been recorded...oh prank. I established to understand only "Kein Ende in Sicht" and won the searches at long last!

An Tagen wie diesen, wünscht man sich Unendlichkeit

An Tagen wie diesen, haben wir noch ewig Zeit

In dieser Nacht der Nächte, die uns so viel verspricht

Erleben wir das Beste, kein Ende ist in Sicht

#240 Sondre Lerche - Bad Law

-Why?

This would be sooo enjoyable song, if there wasn't such a weird ...musical roar (I just invented new term now!) for 3 times during the tune. Feels like the author went to toilet in between, then returned to writing/editing the piece and forgot what was done before. :P

-What?

Sondre Lerche - Bad Law

#238 Bush - Letting the Cables Sleep (Nightmares on Wax Remix)

-Why?

One of those few times, when I consider remix being better than original. Pure rhythms hand in hand with a sad melody. For good measure, are the lyrics meaningful for me at the moment. Definitely a tune to repeat.

"and isn't it comforting
to know what your pilot thinks

to know you're still there when I put it down
to know that the world outside is cruel and is beautiful"

#225 Mari Pokinen - Puudutus

-Why?

The world's largest Song and Dance Festival taking place in my home country this weekend. It may sound too patriotic and bla, but considering our population (which is 1,3 mln) there's 33 000 singers and 7000 dancers, nothing big really...(?)

"Puudutus" - "Touch" is a song, that will ring both in Song and Dance Festival.
