Name that game.

i'm looking for a music trivia game that has been out of production for at least five years...

Several (seven?) years ago we played a board game that involved singing and/or remembering the lyrics to songs, mostly classic rock. I can't remember the name of the game, but the owner told me at the time that it was out of print. It's not Encore. Does anybody remember such a game?

Here is a giant list of singing games. You can sort by year of publication and page back through it, to get through all the new stuff.

I haven't played hardly any of these, so even with more information I don't think I'd be able to help narrow anything down.

Somehow I think I remember a special edition of Trivial Pursuit that was like this. Instead of regular trivia on the cards, the clues were the first few words of a lyric and you had to remember the rest of the lyric. And each color category was a different decade of songs instead of a different category as with regular Trivial Pursuit. Could that be it?

That sounds a bit like Songburst - it had two editions, 50's and 60's, then 70's and 80's. You had to recall the lyrics to songs based on a clue, and you received records based on how well you did.

Agreed--it does sound a little like Songburst. But like aubilenon says, there are a lot of singing games.

Do you remember anything else about it--maybe what the board looked like, or the playing pieces, for example?
