Guess the Song Challege

Guess the Song Challenge - a fun game to do with friends, your kids,  or even your partner.



What's happening, readers! I hope y'all are doing good during this odd time. Things finally seem to be looking up for most of us but many parents are still having to struggle with entertaining their kids at home during this lockdown.

Well, today, I found something fun that I wanted to share with everyone. Check out Guess the Song Challenges on Youtube.

Guess the Song Challenges

I stumbled onto these challenges by chance today when I was looking up some songs from my youth, you know back when music was still good, and seeing how many songs my daughter knew.



I'm proud to say I've raised her well enough that she correctly identified Korn, Green Day, and Nirvana! Among many others.

So with these challenges, you listen to a short clip and then you have a certain amount of time to guess the song to get a point. Get double points if you guess the singer and song title. Single point for just the artist.

Pick Your Tastes

I loved checking out the 80's, 90's, and 2000's challenges. I got most of them right. There were a few I didn't know but I'll forgive myself because they weren't very good songs. LOL.

If you have children who enjoy modern pop music, challenge them to a game of Guess that Song or What are the Lyrics? 

My children and I had a blast singing and dancing around our living room. They got plenty of exercise. I got to show them GOOD music. And everyone actually got along! Shocking, to say the least.

Got younger kids? There are plenty of Disney editions of Guess that Song. My kid stomped my butt in one but I redeemed myself the second round.

Make It Competitive

If you want a fun twist to this game, make it a drinking game. Adults only, of course. For every song you don't know, you have to take a shot. Or perhaps a sip of beer since some of these lists have a lot of songs on them. 

You'd be wasted after the first video if you don't know your stuff. 

I've linked to a few of my favorites and I'm thinking about making a few of my own if I ever get the time. Keep dreaming, I know. 

Be sure to check out my YouTube channel if you don't already subscribe. I haven't got much on there yet but I link to all the videos I include in this blog, as well as fun songs I love to listen to. 

Hopefully, in a few days, I'll have a few videos uploaded of my kids participating in the Guess that Song Challenges. 

Chat with Me

Know a fun challenge I might enjoy? Share it in the comments. Or tag me in social media. I love getting fan mail and interacting with my readers. Don't be shy. You can even share your own Guess that Song Challenge with me.

Mardi Gras and Frank Foster - My Favorite Time of Year

Frank Foster
King of Country Music Frank Foster
Hey everyone! How have you been? I know it's been forever since I've posted and I promise I will get better at posting more often. It's one of my New Year's resolutions for 2020. Have you set any resolutions for yourself? I've decided to focus on being happy and expanding my own blogs rather than focusing so much on writing for other people. Of course, spending more time with my kids and boyfriend is another resolution but who doesn't make that one for their families?

Big things are coming so y'all need to be sure and check in often. If you're not already, you should be following me on social media. I've got two more blogs in the works so y'all can get your fill of me for all types of topics - animals, motherhood, relationships, music. I've got it all.

It's slow going at the moment and I'm a random poster but that will be changing soon too. I'm about to blow it up!

Mardi Gras 2020

So I know you're not here to hear me ramble about resolutions. You're here to talk about our very serious addiction: music. And music is exactly what has inspired me to jump onto here and shout to the world how excited I am. It's my favorite time of year - Mardi Gras. And Frank's back!

As a music lover, Mardi Gras is a blast for me. You get to watch all the cool floats go by. You get to dance to music. You get to catch beads. And for those of you who like to party, it's the perfect time to par-tay. My children have been begging to go to a parade for the last few years so I think it's time to take them down to the Coast for a visit.
Throw me something mister

Come February 21st, we hope to be southbound in time to be screaming "Throw me something mister" at the parade Saturday morning in Biloxi. We're all pretty excited so fingers crossed that things go right so we can take a Mardi Gras vacation.


As much as I love Mardi Gras, it doesn't compare to how excited I am for March 20, 2020. My all-time favorite artist, Frank Foster, is coming back to Memphis and yours truly will be at the show, for the third year straight. Folks, if you enjoy country music, I cannot stress enough the urgency with which you should check out Frank.


As the new King of the South, Frank reminds fans of what country music is supposed to be about. You might not have heard of him because he's an independent artist who's found tons of success from his loyal followers. But you rarely hear his music on the radio. Why not? Because he paved his own way in the music industry by opening his own record label, Lone Chief Records.


He's been on the billboard charts and yet most people haven't heard of him. Like seriously, why the hell not? We're all Blue Collar Boys (and girls). I mean, I'm cool with things as they are because his shows are the best around because they're smaller. You get more interaction with him. And let me tell you folks, this man knows how to put on a show!

The band is freaking awesome and knows how to get your feet moving. Frank stays full of energy and interacts with the crowd. You're guaranteed to have a damn good time. I'm happy to say I'm one of Frank's Biggest Fans (yep, it's a song!). And let's not forget the rest of the fans of FF Nation. We come from all around and congregate together to share our love of the best country star in existence today. Even Hank Williams loves him. Just last year, I was at a Frank and Hank show in Tupelo, Mississippi.

So worth the drive! Everyone knows I'm a music junkie but I'm here today to admit that I'm also a hardcore Frank addict. There is no cure - not that I'm looking for one. I'm happy to travel to another state to get my fix a few times a year. Yeah, my problem is that bad y'all. I'm just a Good Ole Girl. Listen to his music. Come to a concert and see if you don't feel the same!.

Have I convinced you that you want to check out Mr. Frank Foster live? His tickets for the Memphis show are on sale now but you have to hurry if you want to get them before they sell out. And trust me when I say they are going super quick. This isn't a concert you want to miss, folks. Let me know if you're going to be there! I love meeting fans.

And as a word of advice, tickets were cheaper through this link than using StubHub or any other ticket agency. Frank's worth every penny you spend but you'll certainly want to save enough money to bring home some Frank fan wear. I've got a shirt and koozie from every concert I've been to. Even my kids love Frank! Here's their favorite song.

We're a Frank Family around here! My daughter likes to match her dad's support for Frank.

HMU in the comments and let me know what's your favorite Frank Foster song. Until next time, let the good times roll.
