Just a bit of fun. I'm playing four rock songs here. What are they? A stick of Brighton Rock might be up for grabs:)
Tie break: What lyrically connects songs 3 & 4?

Ok, I'll give it a shot:

Rockin' Robin
Route 66
Blue Suede Shoes
Rock Around the Clock

I assume the counting is the lyrical connection...

Sorry if I killed the thread too quickly, I just got excited that I actually knew all the answers!

(of course your playing was very nice as I could easily pick out the tunes)

I recognized all of them but could only put the words to a couple. Based on that I was ready to guess the word 'rock', but alas, the other two didn't fit.

Thanks guys.

HaHa, All is forgiven Kingobad although my first reaction was, dammit that was quick given the response to my previous 'mystery melody' postings:)
@Matzen

Below is the link to some great free applications from Seydel.

First is a programme named Melody Recorder. Download the free software from Seydel and plug a mic into your pc. This programme acts as a tuner giving an accurate readout with the cents difference from zero (you can also set the frequency 440,443, etc., according to how your harp is tuned. It will also record a series of single notes you play which can be added one by one to the text bar and saved.

There is also a free tab tool harmonica notation program which is very extensive and handles mutiple tunings and transpositions to chromatic etc., Truly impressive.

You can also download the instruction manuals for both programmes.

LINK TO FREE SYDEL PROGS

It's also worth checking out this guy's excellent site as he explains the programme's available features.

Nr 3 and Nr 4 I know. I don't know what ties them lyrically.

I've heard Nr 1 before, but can't put my finger on it...

Good game, I love blind tests !

and now I can look at what others have guessed...
