Does anyone have a confirmed answer yet?

I've got the same as all the above, but it's not working!!!! Crying or Very sad

Except for number 10 - it could be either of the above suggested answers, but I tried the Lion Sleeps Tonight and it didn't work

I tried The Fast Food Song by the Fast Food Rockers for No.10.

A Weiner Wrap, A Weiner Wrap could be interpreted as A Pizza Hut, A Pizza Hut??

Still doesn't work though!![/list]

FOUND SOMETHING

Ok guys i've found something from the card. If you visit hesh records http://www.heshrecords.com/page1.html, at the bottom of the page it says 'the music explains everything' as a quote from a band member. Now if you search the barcode number on the card (807297079319) it will find nothing but it will say that the number 807297 is a manufacturer number which links to a cd called 'Rize and Fall' by 'PASCAL F.E.O.S.'. Upon further research into this particular CD i found that the the artist PASCAL made the album to
Quote:
show the music like it is, illustrating its power and passion and just let it speak for itself
. Whether or not this is a valid link between the two i don't know... but 'the music explains everything' and 'just let the music speak for itself' seem to be too much of a coincidence especially when you include the fact that the card gives you the manufacturer number which leads to a CD when it could have lead anywhere. It could just be me looking too much into it though. Just a thought

They are a genuine group apparently so D don't think that is gonna get us anywhere.

On http://www.heshrecords.com there is an intro tune that plays that I thought could contain some clues but there is no vocal content to it.

This truely is a hard one. Slightly off topic but has anyone done the Logical Fallacies card? I am really stuck on it

Re: No. 10, (assuming it's correct) you may have to type:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh) - which I'm pretty sure is the full title of the song.

I've been stumped by this one too. I have a feeling that mind candy have a typo on at least one of the songs, just like in #114 - Taking the Biscuit.

I did some digging on the last clue and i found some interesting info:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
'the lion sleeps tonight' was originally called 'wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)'. so now we have some variations:
1. The Lion Sleeps Tonight
2. The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)
3. Wimoweh
4. Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)

Also i reckon that 'oh pretty woman', may be only correct as 'pretty woman'. that's only a hunch, but certainly not one im willing to waste an attempt on!

2 purple haze
3 can't stand losing you
4 oh pretty woman
5 brimful of asha
6 white flag
7 addicted to love
8 never gonna give you up
9 deck the halls
10 the lion sleeps tonight

Well, I'd missed out the oh in number 4, so I guess that was why I didn't get it right. Sometimes I wish you could get a message that pops up and says "you have 4 out of 5 answers correct" - that'd make my life a lot easier!

Hmmm ... I've just tried the same list as above and didn't get it, even reproduced word for word ... what gives!

Note that 6 could also be wait and bleed by tori amos, same lyric

Slap a [SOLVED] on this one.

Number four required a " , " after the first word.

I'm disappointed that they didn't include some of my favourites 'Bald Headed Woman' by the BeeGees, 'Beaver Woah' (Do they know its Christmastime?) by BandAid and 'Beelzeebub has a devil for a sideboard'.
