Doc's REVERSED (as Opposed to REVISED) Name the Character Game

[Evil Parsnip]

Ok, this one is a piece of cake and anyone can play.

In this version instead of figuring out the character by the song/music clues I'll provide a character name and you'll figure out a list of 1-5 musical clues which you think describe the character. Then we'll all see if we can figure out your logic. they can be hard or easy but I suspect the real music buffs will have some suprises for all of us..

of course we aren't limited to one musical definition so feel free to do your own list even if someone else has already done it.. then we can all figure it out.

so.. lets start with an example.
Lets say one of Spidy's old foes like the RHINO

where the answers might be..
House of the Rising Sun
Belle and Sabastian
and Phish


and the logic might be...

House of the Rising sun was performed by the Animals
Belle and Sabastian performed if you are feeling Sinister (as in the Sinister Six)
Phish has a song called HORN..

I think thats probably easy enough.. but suggestion on how to fine tune this are always welcome..

in any case.. lets start with a DC Villan..

I present the HARLEQUIN...

and I'll offer the first definition and leave you to figure out the why these four clues might be used to describe her.

Steve Miller
Barbara Streisand
Metalica
Madonna

I sure hope this works.. and have fun!

[stupidman]

The Joker
??? Memories?
Ain't My Bitch? Welcome Home (Sanitarium)? Master of Puppets? Frayed Ends of Sanity?
Material Girl?

[Evil Parsnip]

the joker of course is right....
then...Funny Girl (Barbara Streisand)
metalica - No remorse
Madonna - crazy for you

[Evil Parsnip]

next... the Silver Surfer.... give us some thoughts,,,

[mordo]

Here are 3 clues I came up for the Silver Surfer.

foreigner
joe satriani
b-52's

[Evil Parsnip]

B-52s - Cosmic thing
Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
Foreigner - Long, Long way from home?

How'd I do?

[Evil Parsnip]

Here's mine for the surfer

Beach Boys
Christmas music (a carrol)
Merle Haggard

[mordo]

B-52s - Cosmic thing
Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
Foreigner - Long, Long way from home?

How'd I do?

Bam! Exactly what I had.

Here's mine for the surfer

Beach Boys
Christmas music (a carrol)
Merle Haggard

Christmas music = Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
beach boys = surfin' safari
merle haggard = silver wings?

[Evil Parsnip]

Christmas music = Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
beach boys = surfin' safari
merle haggard = silver wings?

two out of three.. the Merle Haggard is wrong.. you'll get it in just a second..*S*

but good job!!


is this a more interesting or better game? I think it offers more chances for people to participate since a dozen people could all offer their musical thoughts to each character..

[mordo]

Is "Some of Us Fly" the Merle Haggard song?

This is a good game too. I liked the original version, but sometimes I couldn't take the time to really research some of the clues. I guess I'd do badly in a game show where you don't have hardly any time at all to give an answer.

[Evil Parsnip]

Fair enough.. I changed that one too.. take a look at the revised version which has its own thread.

I was actually thinking of "out among the stars"

[Evil Parsnip]

New character.. how about Firestorm...

[Evil Parsnip]

The Clues - for Firestorm

Ryan Adams
Pink
Deep Purple
The Beatles
Blondie
Third Eye Blind

No lyrics just song titles this time.. so bulid me a Firestrom from these clues

[jaeldubyoo]

Firestorm

Ryan Adams: Political Scientist
Pink: Split Personality
Deep Purple: Into the Fire or Burn
The Beatles: Back in the USSR
Blondie: Atomic
Third Eye Blind: Burning Man

[Evil Parsnip]

Not bad.. I was thinking of Come Tegether for the Beatles and Nuclear for Ryan Adams but I thought Political Scientist would work too...

what do you think of this version? I like the fact that anyone can come up with clues and we can all try to figure out the logic...

which do you like better.. Revised or Reversed? I'm gonna keep working at it - I thought this would be a big attraction for corralers...

[marvelguy]

It is a good idea. Kind of like Jeopardy. So, you will be hosting it like Alex Trebek does best?

[jaeldubyoo]

Not bad.. I was thinking of Come Tegether for the Beatles and Nuclear for Ryan Adams but I thought Political Scientist would work too...

The reason I chose the Beatles' Back in the USSR was because a Russian, Mikhail Arkadin, was part of Firestorm for a while and the re were stories taking place in Moscow.

[Evil Parsnip]

and I was thinking of the multiple personalities which were joined .. but either way i think it was a petty good.

[Evil Parsnip]

Ok. sos the next character is...

Luke Cage aka Power Man..

who'd like to volunteer some musical clues??

[Evil Parsnip]

It is a good idea. Kind of like Jeopardy. So, you will be hosting it like Alex Trebek does best?

Exactly.. and anyone who listens to music and reads comics can participate..
