Can you guess these Beatles songs in under 1 second?

this video is sponsored by the piano learning app skoove today i thought we'd do a slightly different type of video and a guess the song challenge but the twist with this is number one it will all be beatles songs and two we will only hear a very short snippet of the song so what's gonna happen is in round one we're gonna hear five two second clips of beatles songs round two will hear one second clips and in the final round we'll hear half a second of a beatles song and have to identify it these have been put together by a friend of mine so obviously i have no idea what clips are in there and as you know if you've been watching my videos before i'm you know fairly familiar with most of the beatles back catalogue but um i'm wondering if i'm gonna eat those words when i get none of these right um but yeah let's let's give it a go let's see what happens obviously play along at home and um let me know in the comments how you get on so right let's listen to this i'm really quite scared about this here we go clip number one [Music] that was so short that was only two seconds um the other thing i must mention as well is the rule is we can only hear it twice so that was the first playback and all i got was it was kind of acoustic guitar and a vocal if you've got it already i'm impressed by the way okay i'm gonna use my next one um i'm just i'm really scared about this i feel like we've got acoustic guitar i feel like we've got strings and i feel like we've got paul mccartney's voice so with that in mind i'm going to guess yesterday i'm really nervous about this okay here's the answer yesterday oh thank god [Music] okay my integrity is still standing i've got one right let's move on to the next one so okay i got that one i already know what this is i'll play it one more time for you just in case you missed that okay that's quite simple isn't it it's i am the walrus yeah i think you know there's not many songs that say so um yeah hearing that alone i think was enough okay that's good we've got two so far two out of two let's um let's have number number three really doesn't matter if it's wrong or red um i can hear the song in my head but i i think i listen to one more time i think i know what it's called okay i think it's getting better i think that's what the song is ah so i got that one wrong and what actually happened there is i did recognize the song and i knew it was on sergeant pepper but it wasn't getting better it was fixing a hole which is at least in my head a very similar song but um there we go got one wrong so it's now two out of three and that was a silly mistake to make i knew what the song was should have taken more time okay well let's listen to the next one okay um i don't know what it is it's definitely paul mccartney and it's got like a swing feel to it i feel like it's quite an early beatles song and that's where my weakness is because i'm not as confident with the early beetle songs as i am with the later ones um let's use our second listen i think this is an example where i don't know what the beatles song is i think it's paul mccartney saying something like will return but i don't know what the song is unfortunately if i had to hedge my bets i would say it's something from beatles for sale because that's an album that it just sounds like that era but i should know what this is okay so i wasn't even right with the album it was a taste of honey which was one of the beatles covers off their debut album please please me okay let's let's listen to the next one god this isn't going as well as i thought it would [Music] okay i know what this one is i know what this one is oh this is stressful i'll play it one more time for you guys okay that's dear prudence [Music] so that's the end of the first round of the two second clip so i've managed to get two wrong already which is a bit embarrassing and it's only going to get harder now so let's listen to um some one second clips of beatles songs and see how we got on with that [Music] oh that was really really short it's almost like it's um too quick for the ear to actually latch onto um oh i kind of got a vibe from it but i think it's i think it's going to be something from revolver [Music] ah okay i think i know what it is i think it's here there and everywhere that might be completely wrong but that's what i'm going to go with oh thank god okay that's given me a bit more confidence because when i first heard that one second clip i genuinely thought i was gonna be screwed but let's move on [Music] okay that's that's quite nice that's very recognizable um i'll play it again but i i know what this one is [Music] okay that is something [Music] see that was helpful with that iconic drum fill at the beginning of something that just really did help um identify it um okay i'm on five out of seven so far so not doing too bad um maybe if you're still seven out of seven then i'm very impressed um let's move on okay [Music] okay i know what this one is too um um i'm feeling better about this now okay i'll play with the clip again okay and that's all together now okay cool let's move on to the next one okay we literally just had like one drum hit and a distant guitar thing oh god that's hard um okay i'm gonna really have to concentrate for this next lesson [Music] oh i really don't know um i'm just gonna take a guess because i think it sounds a lot like something did which makes me think it was the same album i'm just gonna say because which was on the same album [Music] okay i was completely wrong it wasn't the same album it was a sergeant pepper and it was lucy in the sky okay that was difficult let's see what the next one's like [Applause] okay i recognize it i'm trying to place what the song is okay let's listen again oh i definitely recognize it but i'm not sure i have enough information to get it i'm going to say one for your life and i'm not sure about that one at all [Music] [Applause] okay i was miles off um yeah that was but that was a real guess that one all i knew was i had guitar and that's pretty much every beatles song ever okay so that's the end of round two um and i've kind of lost track of my score now but i think i'm standing at eight out of ten seven out of ten there'll be something on the screen confirming if i've got that wrong or not but the scary thing is that we're about to go into um the final round which is 0.5 second of of a beautiful song and just before we do that i do want to briefly tell you about today's sponsor which is scoove scuf is an interactive piano learning app that guides you through learning songs and it actually has a dedicated beatles course so if you're into the beatles which i'm guessing you probably are if you're still watching and you're interested in learning some beautiful songs then i do recommend skoova is a great way to get started on the piano right the big boys this is the final round 0.5 seconds of a beatles song that's all we're gonna get um if you're still on 10 out of 10 right now i'm i'm very envious and i have a lot of respect for you um but here we go 0.5 seconds oh we got like one one acoustic guitar note i would have said it's dear prudence but we've already had that um acoustic guitar okay we can i was about to guess but we could listen to it again let's listen to it again there's also a base there so i was going to say blackbird but blackbird's just solo acoustic guitar and there's no bass guitar on it um i'm just going to take a stab i think at norwegian wood let's try norwegian wood [Music] so i got the instruments right i got acoustic guitar and bass guitar um but of course it was julia um which is the other acoustic song on the white album not black bird not norwegian wood i never really had any faith in norwegian wood anyway okay not looking good so far let's let's see how we get on the next one okay crazy drum feel i've got two songs in mind that it could be let's listen to it one more time okay in my mind i'm thinking either birthday or dizzy miss lizzy quite different songs quite different times in the beatles career i'm gonna have to go with one i think it's let's go birthday let's see if let's try that [Music] okay i was completely wrong um it was like one drum hit how am i meant to get that okay this isn't looking good i haven't got a single 0.5 right yet come on okay i feel like i might know this one let's listen again okay so we've got one screeching guitar sort of electric guitar note i think it's a guitar solo from i want you she's so heavy let's find out okay it was let it be um the one excuse i'm going to use for that is that there's actually two versions of the let it be guitar solo on two different versions of letter b i think it was the single version and the album version had different solos and i'm far more familiar with the other solo not the one we just heard um regardless i still got it wrong so i have two more opportunities to get one of these 0.5 second ones right and it's not looking good let's try again [Music] oh god literally just two kick drums okay i think i know what it is let's listen to one more time okay i think it's ringo's drum solo from the abbey road medley my only issue is that medley on on the flip side of abbey road um is technically various different tracks um but i don't know which of those separate tracks is ringo's guitar solo oh ringo's drum solo i think it was on the track called the end but i'm just i know this is like you might consider this cheating but i'm just going to say the abbey wrote medley okay probably still wrong but let's see what happens [Music] okay i got it right and it wasn't i didn't get it right because i cheated because a didn't cheat but b i did actually specify wingo's drum solo and it was ringo's drum solo so i finally got one right on the 0.5 second thing um okay this is the last one last opportunity to get one of these right so um let's see how it goes [Music] oh god okay so there was like an acoustic guitar what sounds like a synthesizer and that does not wrote down quite a lot because there's not that many beatles tracks with synthesizers on them let's listen again [Music] okay i'm gonna say here comes the sun because here comes the sun has acoustic guitar and it has quite a prominent synth line here oh my god so there we go i got 8 out of 15 correct um and i almost got um fixing a hole didn't quite get it but 8 out of 15 so just over half do let me know in the comments what you got on on the score there and also let me know if you enjoyed this format because i'm sure we could do this with other bands and other things um now i think there's actually one more thing left on here i don't actually know what it is um some sort of bonus round i don't actually have any idea what this is so let's find out okay it's one of my songs um i know i think i know what it is i probably should know what it is okay i'm pretty sure that's clap which was off my recent ep [Music] nice well that takes me nicely onto the outro so thank you so much for watching and thank you in particular to all of my patrons who make these videos possible including the names
