    As the title suggests, guess the song from a short audio clip. I'll start (see attached).

    Is this slowed down or is it the actual speed of the song? I recognize this but I can't remember. Any clues?

    You're So Vain by Carly Simon.

    Sounds awfully like it alright


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Sheridan81


    Yes, correct. I'll post another later if no one else fancies it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Sheridan81

    Yeah, I hope there's no way of finding the song's name in the file and you'd tell me if there was of course. :pac: It's a pretty famous solo anyway.

    That’s Eddie Van Halen’s most famous guitar solo, in fairness if your over 50 and a pop music fan you should recognize it in 2 bars! You’ll have to try harder then that to catch the likes of me out!

    OK here's another clip from the same song


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Sheridan81


    I haven't a clue. Is it Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston or someone like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,352 ✭✭✭Ardent

    Something like that, but a bit further back in time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Sheridan81


    I don't think I've heard the song. Is it Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Melanie, Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield or Nancy Sinatra?

    Post the full song and I might have a 50/50 chance. :)

    It's one of those singers. And it's off the Blues Brothers film soundtrack.

    So Think by Aretha

    I've seen that movie so I have heard that song before. I didn't like the movie so quickly forgot about it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Sheridan81


    Is it a well-known song? It better be, otherwise it'll be too hard. :P

    I don't know, is it Smooth by Santana?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^^^^^^^

    no, not santana

    its a well known early 70's song, by a very famous black american singer - who'll never possess a driver's licence ;)
