LEVEL 2

Riddle #7: this currently in fashion group with a french name sings about your chances to get their love

 

[Ericj32]

Congrats, @avecigrec . You are the current frontrunner in the standings for most songs guessed correctly so far!

But there's still room for someone to swoop in and LITERALLY change the game, like @Vinyl Junkies, lol.

Who will be this guess thread's dark horse?

 

[Ericj32]

Any guesses as to what the second AOTM clue is? What do all of the Level 2 songs have in common?

If it helps, each person can guess one song, and I will tell you the extent to which I think it does or does not fit with the Level 2 clue.

 

[scotthilk]

My brain absolutely hurts lol

 

[Ericj32]

I promise you guys, the Level 2 clue is not tricky. Just close your eyes and listen to the songs and you should be able to hear it.

HARMONIES

Yes! they all have multiple singers, at times providing beautiful harmonies and often using their voices as musical instruments to make wordless sounds.

logging my official guess....Wilson Phillips' self-titled debut album

LEVEL 3

Riddle #1: an undead version of a song about something similar to rotating dishes

Spoiler: Solution

 

[Hemotep]

 

[Ericj32]

I've never heard this song, but this fits the LEVEL 3 clue very well. I'm kind of stunned. Great song.

 

[Colonel_Angus]

 

[Ericj32]

Never heard this song either. I don't think it really works with the LEVEL 3 clue.

does the recording skip around 2:20? or is it supposed to sound like that?

 

[Colonel_Angus]

I don't think it really works with the LEVEL 3 clue.

And I don’t think your clue really works

Why not just guess the right song? You've already solved for it.

No - that's not the right artist. I meant that I thought @Colonel_Angus 's Figure 1a and 1b indicated that he knew the song and was just taunting me by pretending not to know it.

AHA, YOU FELL FOR MY TRAP AGAIN

 

[Ericj32]

I guess my clue was misleading ....try thinking of "undead" as "not dead" instead of "zombie-related"
