Poisonous mushroom, deadly: SongPop and other casual music games

Who else plays these? A test of knowledge of overplayed radio songs. Stupid but addictive.

Hmm, I'm curious but I basically won't do anything that pops up with a prompt to install some spamming crap on Facebook...have to get my fix from Sporcle quizzes, which are often pretty fun...some good nerdy stuff in between all the obvious lists.

i'm acceptant that Facebook is spamming crap tbh

There's been a slow steady decline in my commitment to this, unlike the sharp drop-off of Draw Something.

Not sure if it works, but when it asks for permission you can choose to spam to only yourself.

Yeah, but that's still annoying. I haven't played for a while, on the verge of just deleting the app. Mainly because I am inordinately shit at this: I have never been good at intros, I need a fair bit longer to get the contextual cues to synthesise in my brain.

Also, not enough krautrock options.

i got the 'jazz' playlist assuming it'd just give you selections from the head of the track and i was kind of amused to find out it didn't

I played Songpop for awhile but I got bored of it.

songpop is the only facebook app i do, will probably get bored of it eventually

had to jump through a thousand flaming hoops to figure out how to stop spamming everyone's walls with it tho

hate playing against ppl who constantly come at you with like, glee or k-pop playlists. even if i know a decent amount of k-pop, i'll never beat someone who actually has a k-pop playlist

also h8 the scoring, have no idea how it works and why it gives so many points for getting songs in a row when there's only five songs anyway

hate when they throw a complete leftfield wtf is this track as the third one so you miss out on any star bonus thing, basically am never gonna get that fifth star in any genre.

What happens when you do get five stars? I heard they email you all the mp3s in that playlist for free.

I heard there is gonna be a new grammy award for people who get five stars

five stars is a piece of piss

pro tip: on the modern charts hit playlist, wait until yr 10 year-old daughter's answer pops-up and then go with that. then get in first on the 3 or 4 songs you actually know.

i hear they haven't decided yet

xp basically you can win any game where you got the first one right and the other guy got it wrong, just mimic their answers after

The mistakes in this game are bugging me. e.g. under 50's, the Count Basie track that's some kind of modern remix; in video games, the "Street Fighter 5" track.

beyonce's name often missing a letter

eyonce?
Beyonc?
Be once?

nope, hangman style

B_yonce
Beyonc_

that sounds like a pretty easy music quiz tbh

if it were one of the other letters it might take a few seconds

also i assume people play this on their phones and all they have to do is tap the screen? or am i just really slow at moving the cursor with my touchpad

I'm on Songpop as miketd. Hit me up, I'm pathetically obsessed.

I'm afraid I'm over it.

Cos I beat you.

Eurovision and Progressive Rock playlists have got me back into it. Now saving up for Classic Rap.

90s alternative is the only one I'm good at.

Indie rock has this song called "IMpossible" by a band called Figurine that I have never heard of.

i'm curious about indie rock, but i'd feel like a tool pulling it on a random person

Oasis songs are always recognizable in less than half a second.

I'm as dadamt, didn't figure out usernames until today

i stupidly love countering video games with female singers

but rule of thumb anyone who throws glee or christian gospel at you can fuck right off

"Disco" is plagued with dodgy live versions, I find. But you get used to spotting them. And "New Wave" is an oddly elastic category: Paul Young! Murray Head!

what happens when all 5 stars are fully painted?
will my iphone explode?

playing 'classic rap' against a friend's 14 year old sister I just got DMX's 'Party Up (Up in Here)' played to me starting with the line "I JUST GOTTA GET MY DICK SUCKED". :/!

she'll have heard worse.

This works anytime you have a lead!! Makes the game ridiculously easy.

The Indie Rock category is always "Loser," "Creep," "Young Folks," something by Phoenix, and something by the Arcade Fire.

SongPop now bribing me to play with Amazon MP3 credits. Don't know how long that will last but it worked!

MoviePop seems easier than SongPop.

I made the mistake of unlocking Legendary Directors, where half of the movies are directed by Ron Howard. Rage inducing.
