Lyrical Leanings - The Inaugural Game

tusk · 2019-07-15 14:10:28

Thanks to the wonderful 'tayto lover' for sponsoring this game. There's a fantastic thread over on AH where you write out some lyrics that should give a song away, and people like it if they know what it is. If you haven't checked it out, you're missing out!…

I presume we should include the title of the song in the PM we send you? Although if it’s not obvious we’re probably already on a losing entry.

Only requirement is the lyric. That's all that will be posted.

I guess the title could be handy for the final reveal of player/song combos

I might change my line to another in the same song, are we allowed to PM another?

Yep, fire away. You can change as many times to as many different songs as you want

My understanding is that we are. We know the lyrics, therefore we give them a vote.

Yep, you can like yours. I've said that on the thread no to clear it up. Should have been more explicit on the OP. Soz.

A few went down a similar road to me.

Yeah I think for future games, we need to encourage finding unique answers. Something like reduced or split points for duplicates. Will gather feedback once it's over too

You can like it if you recognise the song. You don't need to know the specific title or the artist

I think I might try running one of these but may restrict it to songs from a certain year. Any other criteria ?

Btw, I really like the title “lyrical leanings”

haha it was the first thing that came to my mind so i'm not partial to it, but majority rules!

I'm gonna ask for feedback once it's over so you could get some idears there.

One thing I'd suggest is defining the term '1 line' quite solidly. Like a max number of words, or until the first punctuation mark. It's difficult because some are quite a bit longer than others.
