***ULTIMATE NAME THAT TUNE CHAMPIONSHIP
***
>From UNTTC Emcee Bill D'Amico:
The results from the
Ultimate Name That Tune Championship are as follows:


The qualifying round ranked the top ten scorers who
went on to participate in the 
"lightning round"
portion of the competition. The top 3 scorers in the
qualifying 
round, each receiving more than 50% of the
total possible points, were Dave 
Murphy, Jeremy
White, and Jeremy Hicks.
 
The grueling final
round featured some particularly obscure songs from the
60s-80s. 
Despite the esoteric nature of the material,
the contestants still managed to name 
an
astonishing 80% of the tunes that were played. 


Highlights included: Brian Hight, decked out in a 70s-era
leisure suit, naming Barry Manilow - "Copacabana," Jethro
Tull - "Locomotive Breath," and Mason Williams -
"Classical Gas"; 
Jeremy Hicks naming Led Zeppelin - "The
Rain Song" and The Who - "Eminence Front"; and

Dave Murphy (the Name-That-Tune King) naming The Tubes
- "Talk to Ya' Later," Quarterflash -
"Find
Another Fool," The Hooters - "All You Zombies" and,
amazingly, the final song, EBN-OZN - "AEIOU (Sometimes
Y)."
 
The top five players each got to take home
two 80s cassettes as their prizes.
 
The top
five players were:
1. Dave Murphy
2. Brian
Hight
3.(tie) Jeremy Hicks
3.(tie) Jeremy White
5. Lisa
Edmonds
 
Congtratulations to all players.
