Name that tune... (in Contests)


AdminG Beee June 13 2007 8:22 AM EDT

Cash from my admin char to the person who can guess the name of the song that's got my toes tapping from my iPod this afternoon.

$50k if you get it from the first two words alone with the prize reducing by $10k after every further word you're given as a hint.
Guess as many times as you want, but only once between my updates.
PS. There is no connection between me, my music or Johnnywas but I warn you now he'll get it after the first word (he always does) if you don't - so be quick !

Name of the song please.

Lyrics:
So just ...

tis a little vague, I must say. :)

QBJohnnywas June 13 2007 8:53 AM EDT

ok, lets see if my magic powers are working....no I'm not picking up any signals.....

So, first try will be Michael Jackson 'Leave Me Alone'.

Simply because the thought of you sitting there listening to Jacko just made me laugh

"Simply because the thought of you sitting there listening to Jacko just made me laugh"

is quite funny, actually. :)

Flamey, haven't you seen this type of contest run before. If I'm anything other than vague then it's over before it's started. I seriously considered not letting Johnny play, but given the money is from my admin char I didn't think that would be fair :)

As for Jacko I actually have several of his songs on my iPod :p

And no - you're wrong this time Johnny.

Next word has reduced the pot to $40k:

Lyrics:
So just call ...

Phrede June 13 2007 9:12 AM EDT

if this was'nt the first two/three words I would guess - "You've got a friend"

QBJohnnywas June 13 2007 9:20 AM EDT

Lean On Me - Bill Withers

Tezmac June 13 2007 9:20 AM EDT

"Lean on Me" ?

AdminG Beee June 13 2007 9:29 AM EDT

Booo, money goes to Johnny. I guess I'll need to wait until he's out on a smoke break before I try again... Well done Johnny, and nice try (so close) Tez.

Thanks G, I'll split that as Tez was just a hair away from posting first!

Lol, sorry; I can't resist name that tune contests....I'm going for a cig break right now....so you've got about fifteen minutes!

Tezmac June 13 2007 9:35 AM EDT
