The picks were obviously a bit too difficult/crafty this time. For the next edition we might ditch the wild-ass guess, and as Tin has suggested, we’ll put in a list of the names of the wormers (and possibly one or two wild cards), and you figure out whose song is whose.
If you can think of a fun variant for Earworms, let’s have it.
The earworms this week were:
1: Panic Room – I Am A Cat ~ Abahachi
2: Cabaret Voltaire – Why Kill Time (When You Can Kill Yourself) ~ Carole
3: Lee Hazlewood – Vem Kan Segla ~ bishbosh
4: The Deathray Davies – Jack Never Crashes ~ Fintan
5: Acid Witch – Metal Movie Marijuana Ma ~ Amylee
6: Black Francis & Joey Santiago – Cover Of The Rolling Stone ~ Treefrogdemon
oOo
RESULTS
ANOTHER CORRECTION:
TREEFROGDEMON IS NOT THE OUTRIGHT WINNER AS I STATED EARLIER
Prize: 500 SPILL POINTS! Each TO
Treefrogdemon, Panthersan, our mysterious ModestMouse, Severin, bluepeter, Beth and Zala who all got one correct.
(Sorry. I blew this one, folks. Can’t add up to 1 apparently.)
FACTOIDS:
Amylee‘s song was the most correctly guessed, although the overwhelming opinion was that it was a Panthersan choice.
Fintan‘s song was the most incorrectly guessed. A big fat zero. Two people even damned his choice by thinking it might be mine!
Great job everyone!
The full results are here: Mystery #2 v3 (All errors etc, etc.)
Which one was the biggest shocker for you?
Forgot to update: mouseymouse is shane.
I’m happy to be miraclemouse and midnightmouse and at a push mousedebate – but MOUSEYMOUSE … that just makes my whisker twitch.
;-⢾
You forgot I called you modestmouse as well. Oh wait!
TFD guessed mine too. (Or does it not count if somebody else has already guessed correctly?)
Ooh. I am sorry, I missed that… hang on.
And missed Tfd off altogether. Updating now. Watch this space. What a prat.
Expecting a ‘listing this week, are we?
Er, no!
Sorry about that, TFD. I completely missed you off, which was particularly annoying as you won.
I did?
You did! Well done. You obviously are very astute. A quality that will come in handy this week!
And to qualify my previous remark: I never expect to get listed. Although I try to keep my dond lists shorter these days, it must be apparent that I think that there are a whole bunch of songs deserving a place on the A list.
So sorry everyone. TFD alerted me to the fact that she had not, in fact, won. I’ve updated again. Total bozo
Ooh, we’re all so honest…
Oh shut up, George Washington
I liked your long dond lists, SR. I was more likely to be on them.
I got teased one too many times, so have been trying to be more circumspect. Nobody likes donding diaorrhea.
I was just shocked that none of them were me after all.
ha! funny that I got Aba and Carole the wrong way round, but I knew the metal had to be Amylee if it wasn’t me.
It was a great track Amy and pot-themed death metal is almost a subgenre on it’s own, you know. A couple of members of my favourite new thrashers Municipal Waste have a side band called Cannabis Corpse who are actually really good.
