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.

Glad to help! I wasn't kidding when I said I basically always enjoy getting to talk about music 😅

Hey Vespair! Quizzes were a really big success, your suggestions went down a treat. Everyone had a blast and we raised over £300 for charity
