From: barrett@astro.cs.umass.edu (Daniel Barrett) Newsgroups: rec.music.progressive,alt.music.progressive Subject: Dan's first "music INSTRUMENTAL fragment" quiz - Yow! Date: 17 May 1995 16:54:11 GMT I'm intrigued by these "Song Fragment Quizzes" that have been posted recently, so I've decided to do one for progressive rock. The only problem is that so much great prog rock is instrumental - no vocals. Well, I've gotten around THAT problem, as you'll see below. Each of the following fragments represents an instrumental portion of a well-known prog tune. MAIL your guesses to barrett@cs.umass.edu! All posted responses will be publically ridiculed! Contest ends on Wednesday May 24! Void where permitted! YOW!!!! Here are some examples first: Q: "Bummm, Bummm, Bummm, ba DUMMMM....... (doodly doodly)" [repeat] A: Genesis, "Misunderstanding" Q: "Boopity boopity boooo... doot doot doot DOO-doooooo.... Boopity boopity boooo... doot doot doodle-doooooooo...." A: ELP, high synthesizer solo near the end of "Karn Evil 9, First Impression" (Note: a comma means "pause," and dashes mean quicker notes strung together. Capital letters indicate louder notes.) Now here is the quiz -- good luck!! 1. "Bummmmmmmmmmmmmm.... bidaLING! Dooo, doodly-doo, doo.... 2. "NER, NER, NER, na NER, na NER, NER-na-NER!" [repeat immediately] 3. "BA na na NOOO, BA na na NOOO, BA na BA-da-doo, BA na... BA na..." 4. "BUM, bum, bummm, ba DUMMM!!!! BUM, ba-DUM, BA da DUM! Bum BUMMMMM, da BUMMM, ba DUM!" 5. "Boom Boom BAP! Boom Boom BAP! Boom Boom BAP! Boom Boom BAP!" 6. "[rest] doo, DOOOooo..., do-DO-do-do-do-DOOOoooooooer, Doo, doo, DOO..., do-DO-do-do-do DOO." 7. "HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.............. HUMMMMMMMM..., BA-na-na-na-BUP-ba..." [repeat] 8. "GRRRR, da-da-da-GRRRR... da-GRRRR... da-da-da-GRR-da-GRRRR.... (wheeeer)" 9. "BA-na-na-na, na, na, na, na, na-na, BA-na-na, BA-na-na" 10. "BUM, ba-da-DA-da, ba DUMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (eerie sound effects)" Dan //////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ | Dan Barrett -- Computer Science Dept, University of MA, Amherst, MA 01003 | | http://zoo.cs.umass.edu/~barrett/public.html -- barrett@cs.umass.edu | \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/////////////////////////////////////
