The Rolling Stones Name-that-tune-Riddle.
"Uuhuh, yea, but what's it about?"
- Well, by using your immeasurable depth of your Stones-knowledge
simply identify the names of the songs
and which albums they are from, after you have downloaded and heard
the little sound-files I placed under the riddle-links
in the table below. ( Use the 'Mail-to:'-links under the riddles -
they already have the right Subject-lines.) These little sound-bits
are wav-files (see below for more info) and I took
care to keep them very small. This was done for three
reasons:
- I don't want to be chased all my lifetime by career-driven
Stones-lawyers because I violated some copyright of those songs
in question.
- Small files should be easy to download, even if there's
much traffic on the net.
- Last, but not least: those riddles should not be too
easy to solve!
- Requirements:
- You should have a wav-able computer, i.e. the
software in order to listen to those bits and pieces,
- a speaker attached, or
- - and I would recommend this - a headphone-outlet. A head- or
earphone would make it easier to slove the riddles, because you
can hear details much clearer.
-
If you know the answers at the first go - congratulations! You
really are an expert!
-
If you don't, put the blame on me, because I really tried to make
it hard to slove.
For your information:
I selected short, funny, remarkable, strange, characteristic,
weired little oddities, sounds, voices from the off, crashed notes,
slipped beats, or other animals of this kind, to make it more fun.
The files are (8-bit PCM WAV-files, MONO, with a sample-rate of 11025.
Feel free to suggest any improvements or corrections.

"Where ... have I heard this ?"
1. Riddle !
(1:36 Sec.)
- More a Sound
than a part of a song. But this is IMHO a very characteristic
sound for the whole track. I'm sure, this did not accidentally
find it's way on the album.

Same as riddle #1
(1:87 Sec.)
- but a little longer
(21 KB, 1:87 Sec.) and together with some amplification at the
end perhaps a little easier to guess. If Riddle #1 was too difficult,
try again here before you give up.

It's blues-time, people! The first one is easy - should be
recognized immediately.The second

is from the same source. Example No. 3 (64 KB, 2:96 Sec.) comes
deep from within, one of my cherished, favorite Stones-bits!
(11.3) (64 KB, 2:96 Sec., Stereo). Listen, it just rollllls!!

Uuuh, this is one of the wellknown older tracks - but the bit
you'll hear is not played by one of the Stones. There

alike (12.2) (55 KB, 2:54 Sec., Stereo) but ...
