Hey mate! I’m doing 2 quizzes next week for charity and I’d like to have a music round where I play the first 10 seconds of a song and people guess it. I need to find songs that people might know without being too obvious, and I can only think of a couple. Do you have any ideas?
I’m about to go on a trip so I only have a brief moment to answer this, I’m sorry, but here are some quick picks without having more context to go on:
fairly obvious:
1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
Ain’t It Fun by Paramore
Raspberry Beret by Prince
Meant to Live by Switchfoot
Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean
Stop by the Spice Girls
Super Bass by Nicki Minaj
I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness
Here It Goes Again by OK Go
Electric Feel by MGMT
less obvious:
Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash
All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo
Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks
Maniac by Conan Gray
Closer by Tegan and Sara
I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc
Disco Man by Remi Wolf
Them Changes by Thundercat
Cocoa Butter Kisses by Chance the Rapper
Swing Life Away by Rise Against.
I tried to not give you anything too obscure, but if these are too obvious or if you have a theme or direction to narrow the field I can think on it more and get back to you in a few days, probably.
edit:
I didn’t think too much about the first 10 seconds part admittedly again due to limited time, so some of these may be better to play 10 seconds a later section of the song if you’re open to that.

Mate these are amazing!! I’d never have thought of any of them thanks so much
Glad to help! I wasn’t kidding when I said I basically always enjoy getting to talk about music 😅
