Okay, here's how this works. The person who's "it" hums a well-known tune. Other people try to guess the name of it. The first person to do so correctly "wins" and gets to hum the next tune. Happy humming!
48 responses total.
I'll start:
hmmmm hmmmm, hmm hm hm hmm hmm, hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmmmmm,
hmmmm hmmmm, hmm hm hm hmm hmm, hmm hm hm hmm hmm hmmmmmmmm.
Name that tune!
"Feelings"?
Nope, not "Feelings".
As The Snord Turns?
Now now. This is a *real* song. If nobody get it in the next day or two, I'll hum another part of the song for you.
"The Way We Were"?
Not "The Way We Were".
Re: #5 <looks hurt> That is too a real song! How about "All my Snords"?
"Besa Me Mucho"?
I apologize for doubting the reality of Snordly things even for
an instant. However, you're barking up the wrong trio.
Not "All My Snords" or "Besa Me Mucho".
Okay, I'll hum another part of the song:
hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
hm hmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm
hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
hm hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm
"I've Got Tears in My Ears (From Lying on My Back in My Bed When I Cry Over You)"?
Nope, not that one.
Damn, I know this tune. Is it "Mandy"?
Snord's Hope?
Sorry, none of the above. Gosh, and I thought this would be easy.
One Snord to Live?
No, sorry. Hint: This song was sung in a movie.
[md slaps forehead] "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"!
Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me, Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Saw a cute cartoon in the New Yorker a few months ago. Dorothy, the Tim Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion are standing there with the Wizard, and Dorothy is saying: "And please, sir, I'd like a large and devoted following of gay men."
"Over the Rainbow" it is. Excellent. Md's up for the next hum.
<lee gets another rainbow song stuck in her head> Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And what's on the other side?
Because they are nice. Sky.
Okay, here's mine. This song was released in 1967, I think. Hm hm hm hmm hm hm hmm hm hm hmm? Hm hm hmm hm hm hmm hm hm hmmmmmmmm? Hm hm hm hmm hm hm hmm hm hm hmm, Hm hm hmm hm hm hmm hm hm hmmmmmmmm.
The questions in the first 2 lines make me think of "Blowin' in the wind", but I'm not sure if they rhythm's quite right. Come to think of it, the question marks are in the wrong places for "Blowin' in the wind" too. Curses. The rhythm fits the Beatles' "With a little help from my friends". Was that '67? I'm putting my vote in for the 1st verse of "With a little help from my friends"
Right you are, Miles. Your turn. (That one was *way* too easy.)
<lee fails to remember 1967>
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hm hmmmmm! hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hm hmmmmm! hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hm hm hmm hmm hmm hm hm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm! hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hm hmmmmm!
I would walk 500 miles?
Nope. Maybe I should comment that this is a classical tune, not one from popular music. (Not to say that classical music isn't popular, but...ah, whatever)
Beethoven's 9th, 4th mvt?
Pathetique?
Md has it!
Okay, I hope this one isn't too easy: Hmmm hm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmm hm-hm-hmmmm. Hmmm hm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hmmm hm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmm hm-hm-hmmmm, hmmm hm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmmmm, hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmmmmm hm-hm-hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm hmmmmmm, hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmmmm, hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
i don't think i have ever seen anything quite as unusual as this item in my entire life. and listening to myself trying to work this tune out is worrying me...)
to say nothing of what your coworkers think of you!
oh, i gave up on them ages ago. or the other way around... hmm hMm - no, that's not it...
Hint: It was first heard over the closing credits of a well-known movie.
Ah! It's the Double Bass theme from Bela Bartok's Fantasia for String Hextet!
Time of My Life?
