    Stolen from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14768. Everything works the same way, except the posts must pertain to music. Whether it be the history of music or types of music, anything works as long as music is involved. First question [should] be an easy one:

    This song was the first of its kind to be produced. There is a loud guitar opening followed by yelling from a man who talks about an amusement park ride that is well-known in Britain. A visual hint:

    It has something to do with the Beatles? :laughing:

    "Stinkfist" by Tool? Or possibly "Eulogy"?

    nope... the song was written in the early 60s... another clue: the musician's surname is Crocettti though he changed it to a stage name

    :wink:


    ah what the heck, a third clue: the name of the song is also the name of a city in the United States

    I hope you don't mind Mimir, but I have just a great little musical quiz question...

    In what Beatles song does John Lennon shout "****ing ell!" at exactly 2:58?

    Hm, would this be one of their later songs? It seems so, they never said things like that in their earlier songs. Oh, and I should make a guess:

    I Am The Walrus

    Bad guess, but there's so much going on in that song I figured it would be worth mentioning.

    Yep, it's Hey Jude.

    Seleucid: you really have to listen for it, but it's there. Apparently John Lennon missed a chord or something and said "****ing 'ell!" in the middle of the recording, and they left it.

    Earlier today I went next to the speaker and set the iPod to play at 2:55. As it played I heard the faint sound of John's cussing, and, I must say, that is an interesting find. There are probably a few other minuscule things in their songs I should listen for, but that'll be next time. As for the current question, I have no clue.
