The C3 Hint Thread: June 28th, 2013 – Twenty Questions Edition
This week, we’re going to mix things up a bit, and go for a “twenty questions” format for a couple (but not all!) of the songs we’ll be releasing this week. I’m sure most of you are familiar with how Twenty Questions as a game works, but for those of you that are not, the gist of it is that you can ask me a series of yes or no questions about a song that I will answer with a truthful yes or no answer, which will give you hints that you can use to try and deduce the the answer. Given the format and nature of this, here are some ground rules for how this will proceed.
- We will only be discussing one song at a time.
- Anyone can ask any number of questions, but you should ask one question PER POST and wait until your question is answered before asking another one.
- I will be answering the questions in the order they are received — you may want to wait until the last question is answered before asking the next one.
- Questions have to be worded in such a way that I can give a “yes”, “no”, or “both yes and no” answer.
- If you ask a question that isn’t worded in that way, but it could be, I reserve the right to re-word it and answer it or ask you to clarify (e.g. “did this song come out in the 80s or 90s”, I may reword to “did this song come out before 1990” and answer yes or no, or ask for clarification as to whether you meant “which of these decades did it come out in” or “did it come out in either of these decades”, reworded if it is the former).
- As soon as we hit twenty answered questions, no more questions will be answered for that song.
- Duplicate questions will not count against the cap.
- You can ask “is the artist x” or “is the song x by artist y” as part of the twenty questions, and I will answer that, but once the questions are depleted, there will be no confirmation or denial regarding your guesses.
- Once all twenty questions have been asked, I will put the list with answers in the OP.
Happy hunting!

(P.S. You can start by asking any question that you feel will help narrow down subsequent questions and allow you to guess/ID the song, but you don’t get any hints to guide that first question.)
Okay, that question is a little too cryptic for me. Ya’ll are makin’ me feel even stupider than I normally feel. Does “include” mean the lyrics or the title?
Okay, that question is a little too cryptic for me. Ya’ll are makin’ me feel even stupider than I normally feel. Does “include” mean the lyrics or the title?Alright, breaking my yes/no answer here to elaborate: I said yes, and made my own assumptions, because quotes would have words, and this song has lyrics (e.g. it’s not instrumental), so, there’s the rationale for a yes answer.
It doesn’t have to do with the lyrical content.
Does the artist/band have any tracks in RB already, customs or official?Yes.
