Guess the Songs

I've jumbled 36 songs from the 80's together in 30 seconds. Can you guess them all? (By the way, artist and band names aren't essential. Just song titles will be fine.)

Thanks. :D :oops:

In case it helps, I've just uploaded a 2nd copy with numbers indicating how many songs there are and replaced the first.

Hmmm... I recognized only No. 15: Toto's "Africa". They all sound familiar, but the sound bites are all too short for an instant recognition. Then again, that's the whole point of the game, isn't it? :)

Will you ever provide us with the full answer?

These are the only ones I managed to get...

1. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
8. Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
13. Madonna - Cherish
15. Toto - Africa
20. Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

I understand that the point of the game is to make you guess which is why it's not very easy but I feel some are a bit too fast to be fair, not even a second long. Some blend into each other as well which doesn't give you much of a chance to distinguish them apart, if it weren't for the numbers that indicate a new song's started I wouldn't have known when some start and finish. Perhaps make the samples a tad longer, say 2-3 seconds long so that it's a little easier but still hard ;-)

You're right about one of those BUT you called it on the wrong number so I can't tell you which. I will tell you one thing, though, as a clue- there's only 1 Pat Benatar song in the 36 and it's neither of the ones you guessed. Oh, and "Rock with You" is from the 70's.

Yeah, I admit I made it a bit harder on purpose because the songs were so extremely recognizable. Especially #11. Which you can't really hear now because I combed through the entire song looking for one part that I could play for even 1 second without everyone being able to guess it instantly. Basically- I couldn't let people hear it. I realize that now. Also, I clearly made a huge mistake with #24. That literally could be any rock song from the 70's to 1991.

Yes. I was planning on making a video to answer it but that's proving to be shockingly time consuming. Whereas it took me less than an hour to do the first video.

So, I'll just do this:

^^ Thanks for that. I can't believe I failed to pinpoint so many of these, especially in the second half of the video. There's this whole consecutive string of songs starting at No. 15 that I should have recognized instantly, since I've listened to each of them a gazillion times or so (not to mention, some of them are from my favorite artists). Oh, well...
