Fun and Games: Songfacts


Batman

Recommended Posts

In this game, you enter a songfact from songfacts and the person guesses which song it is!

Here are the rules:

You must put the songfact in italics

If the song name or band is mentioned in the songfact, replace it with _____ or ***** (i.e. Led Zeppelin made this song in keith richards back yard - would become - ****** made this in keith richard's back yard)

It can't be a comment, it must be a songfact. (becuase OMG this song is awesome! is a little too vague)

if necessary, you can post 2 songfacts

Here is the first one

****** put together the cash register tape loop that plays throughout the song. It also contains the sounds of tearing paper and bags of coins being thrown into an industrial food-mixing bowl. The intro was recorded by capturing the sounds of an old cash register on tape, and meticulously splicing and cutting the tape in a rhythmic pattern to make the "cash register loop" effect.

Written in French in 1961 this song was translated into English by Rod McKuen in 1964 and recorded by Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio. The Beachboys decided not to release their recording of the song in 1973. In 1974 the English version became a big hit for a singer who previously sang with his wife as a duo. The song went on to sell over 6 million copies worldwide.

nobody appears to be going, so here's mine

The chorus came from a school in Islington, England, and was chosen because it was close to the studio. It was made up of 23 kids between the ages of 13 and 15. They were overdubbed 12 times, making it sound like there were many more kids.

Would this one be "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks?

That's "Another Brick in the Wall" by the Pink Floyds.

The longest Top 10 hit ever & features the longest guitar solo in a Top 10 song. The album this song is featured on was the first time in nearly 20 years that an artist had the top 2 albums on the charts. MTV named the video as the greatest ever, before Kurt Cobain's death, putting Thriller at #2.
