The dash is needed on that one because that is the YouTube key for this video! (-2GmzyeeXnQ) I think they are always 11 digits. They do not always have special characters in them, but they sometimes do.

I think you are right about the Kinks, but I am sure Alex will chime in about that later, and also provide a new tune. Great song at any rate.

Yes, I do! (Meet me over by the commissary after the show.) But still, no points for that correct response.

You are welcome under the drib critic umbrella anytime,Image, {canadian fish graphic chuckle} and, of course, you are correct! From 1966, that was The Hollies and Bus Stop.

A little bit harder now: Name This Tune!

I understand the rule is to answer with a question so here it is; 'who doesn't want to be a bad sport?'

Answer is me, so I won't jump in for now... (my very mild superpower it seems is tune recognition).

the drib critic name this tune mild superpower challenge

Post: # 1258Post alex - verified canadian »

On the audio clip below there are 25 tunes to be named.

Post the names of all 25 tunes here, in order, and I'll tell you whether you are correct or not. I won't tell you which individual tunes are right or wrong. I will either tell you that you are wrong, but in a polite Canadian manner, or that you have all 25 correct and have won.

Anyone can take the challenge. You are not required to respond in the form of a question, but I would certainly chuckle if you did. You can post as many times as you want. And the first one to get all 25 tunes correct will win some dribnuts branded crap!

Good Luck!

That was Glen Campbell and Wichita Lineman. And he's still on the line.

And now, Name This Tune!


The Mild Superpower Challenge is still available to play. I'll help you with the first one, which is difficult unless you've heard this exact version:
