"This won't tune!"

Test your sense of pitch. The quiz has 26 midi song clips, each around 10sec long. They come from US children's tunes, US patriotic songs, and Christmas carols. If you did not grow up in the US chances are you will have difficulty just b/c of familiarity w/ the songs. After you hear each, you have to pick whether it was played correctly, or incorrectly. I got 26/26 correct.

I'm glad you tickled by that link! On my first try I got 22 right, on the second, 25, which makes me wonder which one I got wrong!

I knew most of the songs, although there were a couple that were tricky. It's funny how "My Country Tis of Thee" sounds a lot like "God Save The Queen" :-)

That's 'cause they're the same song. ;)

That what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

LOL! I must look them up on Wikipedia now :-)
