[Floogeldy]

E F# G A
B A G A
B A G A
G F# G F# E

This is not a vocal melody.

B-)

[Floogeldy]

1. Burp!

Heh heh.

B-)

[Tsiyu]

2. i'm gettin a Moody Bluesish vibe

on the little Alvarez

But it's too late to be up playing guitar.

[Floogeldy]

3. You've got the correct country and genre

Don't give up! You might be on to something. :)

[Seabiscuit]

4. Hmmm... everyone seems to be stumped.

Are you sure you have the notes right?

It sounds familiar - but it reminds me of classical music, not popular music. Hmmmm...

You may not be "passing the baton" tonight.

[Floogeldy]

9. I just checked the notes

I got them right.

[Seabiscuit]

16. Mozart: Rondo A La Turk

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Hi, my dear Floogeldy!

Of course, being a musician, you can read (and obviously write) music! Alas, I can do neither, so I cannot tell what this melody is! I will have to wait until someone has mercy on me and tells me what it is...

:cry:

[Floogeldy]

7. Hi Sweetie!

I apologize for excluding non-musicians.

You are the greatest, musician or no, Peg.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. You are too sweet, my dear Floogeldy!

NO NEED FOR APOLOGIES! Your words touch my heart...


:blush:

[Floogeldy]

13. Ahhhh . . .

:loveya:

[mark414]

6. is it a Yes song?

[Floogeldy]

8. You tell me, Vice President.

;) Heh.

B-)

[mark414]

10. shh

the plans aren't complete yet

soon sir, soon

[Floogeldy]

11. Hint: Play it over and over

Repeat.

[Tsiyu]

14. Fast or slow?

Us rhythm guitarist need a tempo...

[Floogeldy]

15. About medium

Pause a second between the lines.

B-)

[Swamp Rat]

17. Yes

Roundabout

[Tsiyu]

22. Dammit

I thought of that one too. If you're right, drats!!!!...I don't get the rice O Roni!

[Swamp Rat]

27. I'll share mine, but it's jambalaya, not Condosleeza Roni.

I hope you like alligator and Cayenne pepper. :D

[Tsiyu]

33. Well of course you'd prefer Zatarain's?

( did I spell it right?)

These silly contests are the ONLY way they can get RiceOROni into New Orleans!

But I'd much rather nosh on Alligator. Definitely....if I can throw some kimchi on it.....

[Floogeldy]

23. DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! SWAMP RAT!

You nailed it big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:toast: :thumbsup: :woohoo:

YOU ARE GOOD, SWAMP RAT! THANKS.

[Tsiyu]

24. Swamp Rat is a musical genius

Showoff!

:loveya: and congratulations. Enjoy all that San Francisco Treat!

[Floogeldy]

26. He's good, all right!

:headbang:

[Swamp Rat]

29. Party on dude!

:headbang:

[Swamp Rat]

28. You're TOO kind!

See post #27 for a New Orleans treat. :)

[Floogeldy]

25. Anybody need an explanation?

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching
Down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees
The rim of the land
The eagle’s dancing wings create as weather
Spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more
Than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers
By in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a million years

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ’n’ out
I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ’n’ out

[Seabiscuit]

18. One more time: Mozart: Rondo A La Turk

But the first line and the last one aren't quite right.

S/B:

A C

B A G A

B A G A

B A G F# E

[Floogeldy]

20. I don't think I know any Mozart tunes

See the above post re country and genre. :)

[Seabiscuit]

30. This is weird.

I've never heard of Yes's "Roundabout" but my wife has, and sung it for me. Then I recognized the song, but the tune she's been singing to the words you posted (which sounds very familiar to me) don't begin to resemble the notes you posted. She says it's a very long song, so perhaps we're missing the part of it that you posted.

Anyway, the second, third and fourth lines are a virtual copy of passages from Mozart's Rondo A La Turk.

Oh, well.

Congrats to Swamp Rat!

[Floogeldy]

31. Your turn! Baton is passed.

But, dude, I can't believe you haven't heard Roundabout.

Please, no classical.

Try to stick with very popular musical licks and melodies, I beg.

B-)

[Seabiscuit]

34. Sorry I missed this last night - we had to put the baby to bed...

and then we crashed as well.

Yes, I've heard "Roundabout" numerous times, just not in a long time, and didn't remember the name.

Agreed, no classical. Just popular music.

I'll be back - I just got up and have a busy day - but I'll post #4 by early evening.

[Floogeldy]

36. Kewl

[Swamp Rat]

32. Think 'tutti' and 'coda' and you'll find the spot... close to the end.

:)

Now, if there was a way to spell out Wagner's "Tristan Chord" in a contentious forum... :D

[Seabiscuit]

35. Well, since I don't have the CD, I'll have to try to find the song on the

'net. The resemblance to Mozart threw me for a loop. :)

Congrats again, Swamp Rat, on winning this round!

[Tsiyu]

19. The words "tired of waiting for you"

keep popping up.

So tired
Tired of waiting
tired of waioting for you=u u

that would be perhaps the Kink's version, not Green day's

[Floogeldy]

21. Great Kinks song!

But not this one. :)

B-)
