That's right, it's back!
For those new to Unexpected Song, last year' in our 2nd Birthday Bash I introduced a game that needed to be played over YouTube. It was composed of two inner games, or rounds, or whatever you want to call them; the first half was all about Anthony. The second had clips from various popular musicals.
This year' is the Year' of the Ant ((why couldn't the ant have rushed to Buddha?)) and the game has only half the clips to decipher this time as it did last time. 6 clips, with a possibility of hitting 36 points - or is there?
The Object
Okay, here's the deal: The following links ((or at least the links that will be inserted once YouTube stops being the git that it is and lets me open the videos to the public! - added!)) lead to six clips that I have painstakingly chosen, created and uploaded for this year'. What you need to do is to listen carefully to them and see if you can work out the titles of the track that Warlow ((and co.; yeah, you know I couldn't miss the opportunity to add another duet)) is singing. Then, once you think you've figured that out, you need to tell me where I got it from! ((No points for saying Limewire or some crap like that; I do have the authentic copies of these.)) This could either be an album or a show, you never know until you work it out.
The problem with the latter point is that it carries the possibility of having more than one answer. As you know, Warlow has a few tracks that reappear across various places, so the objective to this is to work out where these particular tracks could have come from precisely. If what you hear has indeed been one of his repeated tracks, and you then list off all the albums or shows where that particular recording could have come from, you will gain an extra point per correct extra album / show title.
I forgot to mention that every correct basic answer is 3 points. If there's half points to be issued in it like last year' ((though I don't know if it'll happen ... we'll just have to see)) then a half point is 1.5. As I said before, the basic high score is 36 points, and then there's the possibility of extra points from the extra albums / shows.
If you're feeling really confident, though, you can tell me who composed that particular song and for what musical or show. That will be an extra 2 points per correct answer. Of course this means I'm going to have to pull my finger out and actually do a bit of research to see if you're right, but hey, I need another challenge to save me from TAFE.
Don't tell me anything more other than these factors; the point system needs a limit after all.
And finally, once you have figured all of this out, send me a PM with all of your answers like this:
Game One: (Title of track) / (Origin of track)
Game Two: (Title of track) / (Origin of track)
Game Three: (Title of track) / (Origin of track)
Game Four: (Title of track) / (Origin of track)
Game Five: (Title of track) / (Origin of track)
Game Six: (Title of track) / (Origin of track)
In fact, it might be easier for you to copy and paste this code into your PM first before filling in the blanks:
A note for Guests
To all of the guests visiting and posting in the site during the month of April 2009, please be advised that though you can watch the clips and make your guess by sending me your answers to my YouTube PM, you will not be eligible to win the prize.
The Prize
We've got a special treat lined up for the winning Warlovian this year'; it's not finished yet and I'll wait a little longer before revealing what it is, but you can rest assured that it is a one-of-a-kind prize ((and if you sell it on e-Bay I will be REALLY mad)). For 2nd and 3rd place contestants, I'm not sure what we can do just yet, but hopefully we'll be able to think of something a little later on.
EDIT: It's ready! The first prize winner will receive this fabulous pendant painstakingly created by Jennifer O'Rourke and completely one-of-a-kind. It's of an autumn leaf design ((I can't remember the actual name, sorry!)) with WARLOVIAN etched into it.
I know it's a bit hard to see the the writing at the moment but trust me, it's GORGEOUS.
Final Note
Since YouTube was being such a git, I will extend this game until the 2nd of May before closing it. And if, during the time between when you listen to the clips and when the game actually ends, you want to make some alterations and resubmit your previous answers, you may do so, but please be warned that I will not accept any more PMs for the game beyond midnight of the 2nd.
Okay, here are the clips; have fun!

The single appeared on the ARIA Singles Chart in 1998.
Grease has never won a Tony.
POINTS: 12
Game Two: What Kind of Fool am I (3) / The Main event DVD chapter 8 (doesn’t appear on the CD) (3), or possibly ripped from youtube where neh posted it*.
Originally from the musical Stop the World – I Want to get Off (2) by Leslie Bricusse (2) and Anthony Newley (2), which opened in the Queen’s Theater on the West End in 1961.
The full orchestration of Stop the World has one French horn part, and both of the two percussion parts require finger cymbals.
POINTS: 12
* No no, I've got the DVD and the full audio from the DVD. I don't know how to rip audio from YouTube ((I wish I did!)).
Game Three: Anthem (3) / Center Stage (3) (1990) track 7, Best of Act 1 (1) (1996) track 12.
Originally from the musical Chess (2) with lyrics by Tim Rice (2) and music by Bjorn Uleavus (2) and Benny Andersson (2) (aka “the guys from ABBA”). The song is sung by the character Anatoly in the musical.
Tim Rice originally approached Andrew Lloyd Webber to write the score, before the shows producer introduced him to Benny and Bjorn. Chess was a financial flop on both Broadway and the West End. The Broadway production lost $6 million dollars and closed after only 68 performances.
POINTS: 15
Game Four: L.O.V.E. (3) / Back in the Swing (3) (1993) track 12
Written by Bert Kaempfert (2) and Milt Gabler (2) for Nat King Cole's (2) 1965 album L-O-V-E (the last album released before Cole’s death that same year).
Bert Kaempfert provided the Beatles with their first commercial recording contract in 1961, hiring them to play backing instrumentals on an album he was producing.
POINTS: 12
Game Five: Hello Little Girl (3) / On the Boards (3) (1992) track 12
Originally from the musical Into the Woods (2) with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim (2) and book by James Lapine (2) (which was inspired by child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim's 1976 book, The Uses of Enchantment)
The orchestra that provided the backing tracks for this album (Victorian Philharmonic – conducted by Brian Stacey) had 4 trumpets, 5 trombones and 5 french horns – which is technically not a full orchestral horn section, they were one short.
The female vocalist on this track apparently doesn’t exist as she isn’t credited anywhere – including in the cd’s accompanying booklet.
POINTS: 12
Game Six: The World Has Gone Insane (3) / The Complete Work: Jekyll & Hyde – the gothic musical thriller (3) (1994) track 26 (or CD 2, track 6)
Originally from the musical Jekyll and Hyde (2) with music by Frank Wildhorn (2) and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse (2) – although the song didn’t appear in the original Broadway production, it has been put back into the US tour production, with a slightly different arrangement (heaps of electric guitar)

Congratulations, you won the game and the pendant! A PM will be heading your way shortly about retrieving your prize!
Thank you to everyone who played this year' and thank you again to Jennifer O'Rourke for donating her time, effort and beautiful pendant. I hope you all enjoyed this year's game and celebrations!
