Subject: Ooo La La - A "Non-Word" Audio Quiz - Complete
Written By: RobertK on 05/16/07 at 5:41 pm
In this audio quiz, we are focusing on non-words, the mmmms, oohs, las, ahs, and hmmms that are a part of many pop songs. Listen to the samples from these 40 popular songs and see if you can guess the song title and artist. :) Good luck!
Hint: Song #17 The intro and verses of this song from 2003 were stylistically similar songs by The Cars from the late 1970s.

Hi wildcard. Unfortunately #29 is a not "Sooner or Later". It does have a similar bouncy, pop feel however.

Hiya mooster. I'm glad you enjoyed it! You got 3.5 for that one. Congarts! #14 is a Cranberries song but its not Zombie. Since you are under the limit, feel free to guess the title again.
Then I'll answer the other half of #38. The song is With or Without You.
And that completes your 4. Good job!

Hi Philip Eno!
I prefer to think of them not as "short" but as "subliminal". ;) Seriously though, the shortest samples do make the game challenging. Fortunately, hints are ready for these harder ones. :)
Overall, it's very impressive that so many of these have been answered in less than 24 hours. A lot of good puzzle solvers are on here!
