Jabonator's Trololololololopalooza - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Thought it was time for the creator of this game to run one after it picking some wind beneath its wings. Happy to see people enjoying the format.

So, send me a list of songs, one for each category. I will then rate them to my preference, etc, you know the drill.

1. Song pre-1950s.
2. Song with great lyrics
3. A Vocal YouTube cover
4. Singing competition performance
5. Finnish song
6. Song I'd enjoy playing with an acoustic guitar
7. Your favorite song atm
8. Great live performance
9. Great song from a band's debut album
10. A rap/vocal duo song

GO!

3. What's a vocal cover?
5. In Finnish (welp) or just by a Finnish band/artist?

Vocal cover, meaning a cover of a song with vocals, no instrumental covers (wouldn't want people trying to kiss my ass and submit my piano covers). Finnish song just needs to be by a Finnish band/artist.

Alright, seems like I should have an edge in the Finnish category. Architecture in Helsinki it is.

You created this horribly named game? Only you have the power to rename it!

i did not recognize a single musician on the finland music wiki page (nightwish doesn't count)...also checked a website that listed like the top 10 most famous people from finland and I'd never heard of any of them.

This country sounds really depressing

In the first one I ran I said I couldn't come up with a good name and just put something there. I also told people to come up with a good name. Nobody did.

And domer, Finland is depressing. Think we rank pretty high in the suicide rates.

I listened to some Finnish music as a teenager. Finnish music confirmed does't age well.

When are you thinking about revealing, Jabo?

Will probably take a while. Most likely I'll close entries at some point when I have enough entries next week, start thinking about the scoring and then announce the reveal. I have school work next week though, so you have plenty of time to submit your entry.

Just some further clarification on Q3 - I'm guessing you mean an amateur cover?

Also the titles are misusing the word troll in the same way that 12 year olds troll their teachers. All past and current game mods may report their ops for name changes and all future game mods could name their game accordingly.

Note: Mods of trololopoolza games. This post is not evidence that you have sucessfully trolled me but #YOLO #SWAG and you're jelly of my idea.

Credit to gder for using Goat as the name of a similar game.

||.||.|| BOB is a solid song, but by rap/vocal duo, I meant a song that is a duo of a rapper and a singer. So please fix your entry on that part.

Thought I'd post it here so others wouldn't make the same mistake.

I assume classical music is against the spirit of Q1?

Nope, anything pre-1950s is fine.
