Actually, my holiday contests used to all be music-based. I've done the "identify short music clips" thing, and I've also done a couple of rounds of "album covers with all the identifying information removed with Photoshop". The similar book covers contest and then the game pieces contest were efforts to allow some other people to win (since a couple of real music geeks on my friends list kept dominating it every time). :) I haven't tried to do song clips that everybody knows but nobody knows the name to, though. That might be kind of fun. :)
Sadly, since I'm in a total freeze on personal spending right now, there shall be no contest this holiday season, but I think once I get the new computer that I'm saving for, that's one thing that I'll want to do right away, since I miss the contests.
Weirdly, I actually did know about that particular song! One of my friends has a big obsession with that bit of trivia because the name is so inapproriate to what we think of as the fundamentally goofy tone of the song.
