I have not been active for a while, but as I posted in one thread recently: I've got that itch again and I came back to scratch it.

Anyway, I still won't be able to be super active as I once was, but I'll be here more often than I have. So to get back in the swing of things and to introduce myself to those that don't know me, I thought to offer a little contest. I have some extra Estonian 1 krooni coins that commemorate the nation's 90th year of independence. They are uncirculated as I picked them up from the Bank of Estonia's museum shop.

I've uploaded a short clip (2 seconds) of a song to File Dump. The link will bring you to the page where you can download the clip. For me it opens using quick time, but others might have a different player. Anyway I'm guessing this might be an easy one, and if so I'll try and make the next one more tricky. If not, I will lengthen the clip by a second each day (ie ideally 24 hrs from this post, but I cannot guarantee it.) Good luck and hopefully everyone has fun with it! I want the title of the song. First one to post the correct answer wins.

I tested the link a couple of times and it seems that it randomly throws up an advert page. If that happens, close the window and try the link again, it should work. I'll see if I can find a better site that won't randomly redirect to an ad page.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! PM me with address details and I'll get this out to you.


Was this too easy? Too difficult? Did anyone have difficulty with getting the clip play?

[Mark Stilson]

Maybe a little too easy. Even I figured it out first time hearing. Also no problem with the file.

Same here

[Sir Sisu]

Glad to hear that there wasn't trouble with opening the file. Yeah, I kind of guessed that it might be too easy. The trouble is that I don't want to pick such an obscure song that no one will guess or that is so narrow in genre that not everyone will know it. So I'm trying to pick radio hits so that everyone has a chance, but can't be so clear as to make it too easy.

I'll post another one up later today. I'll try and make it harder.

Crap. I need to pay attention to these threads!

[thedeadpoint]

And I agree, too easy! I got it on the first try too.
