I think I could get 8/10 in the same game, possibly perfect if the game master left the rockabilly covers out.

I missed “Boys” and “Get Back.” Did better than I thought I would!
I was right there with him until Back in the USSR/Dear Prudence. That was impressive that he could tell which part of the song break it was from, though I would have considered the entire plane sound effect part of USSR. It’s really only the fairly arbitrary cuts for CD that made it part of Dear Prudence and the fact that the first few notes are overlayed.

Ah, first second clip. Would have been even more impressed if it was a one-second clip from anywhere in the song.
(This is still fairly impressive.)

That’s pretty impressive.
He’s a talented dude. Have seen White Stripes and Jack White solo live a couple times and was also impressed in that regard. Really love all of his solo work and the Raconteurs.

I got more than half of those but I couldn’t get them as fast as him, I would have to think for 20 seconds or so.

They should have asked Jack Black. He may not be right but his responses would be funnier.

Back in the days when television was something that had channels you could flip through, I had the odd talent of being able to identify movies in the time it took for the channel to flip past – maybe 1/4 of a second.
I couldn’t do it every time, to be sure, but I had a decent batting average. The weird part was that I could often identify films in this manner that I had never actually seen – just a glimpse of an actor and a context was enough for me to put it together.

Jack White’s birth name was John Anthony Gillis. I wonder if he changed it because he fancied sharing the name of one of the Beatle’s best known albums. It certainly rolls off the tongue better than Jack Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Revolution 9 would be the challenge.
What’s so great about that? I got them all right…
I believe he misidentified “Run For Your Life” as “I’m Looking Through You”.
