Remember This?

Catherine Boger

Each clip is of a famous song at the moment in its recording where it quotes another famous song.

Two song titles must be generated for each audio clip played.

The Quote-er and Quote-ee are listed next to one another. If "debut/starting" position is mentioned first, the quoted song is first. If a later position is mentioned first, the quoting song title (i.e., title of the actual recording heard) is listed first.

"Debut position" indicates the position of the letter taken from the title of the quoted song; "later" or "peak position" indicates the position of the letter taken from the quoting song title.
