Welcome to SingTaku, Kotaku Australia’s latest lunchtime game. I hum a song, you try and guess which game that song is from. Easy right? Well it would be easy if I had anything resembling an ear for a tune.
Good luck everyone. You’re definitely going to need it.
You can totally take part in SingTaku and send in your own entries. The rules are simple: you have to use Vine. Upload your SingTaku to Vine and email me with the embed code! Simple!

Ahahaha!
I have no idea what it is but the only thing I can think of is Pure Imagination.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Well, that, and Biker Mice from The Dig.
Going to go with Zelda, OOT…..
It is totally the Song of Storms.
Edit: Argh! No I don’t think it is any more. :O
Well, depending how lacking his ear for a tune is…
something from charlie and the chocolate factory?
These are my exact sentimonies.
His accent is throwing me off 😉
haha yep, I believe the first comment said it also
THE DIG.
Now I should probably listen to it.
Edit: noooooooooo, my work computer can’t play it 🙁
Attack of the Magenta Logo Trio?
Song of Storms from Zelda, OOT
this would be even radder if I had speakers at work…
Edit: gonna guess anyway – Hymn of the Fayth from FFX?
Or access to the player at all…
Try reading his lips.
Is it “The Scarecrow”?
Yessssss.
*Holds Shazam app up close to speakers*
Nope nothing…
try SoundHound :p
Bbbbbiker mice from Mmmmmmaaaaaars!
also is totally going to mess with my attendance 🙁 having to sneakily get the earphones out while working
Holy crap, auto-playing but muted by default? Is this a considerate bit of web media???
Also, I have to take issue with the title, this is more HumTaku
ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH MAGENTA
I’m thinking Song of Storms but it’s in a different key. ARE YOU TRYING TO TRICK US!?
It’s the accent.
According to @freya that is:
“Why are you? Stop listening to Mark humming!”
She’s pretty smart, so I’m going to go with her answer.
You listened too many times and now the song is broken!
Dark Souls (because Mark) :p
I don’t get it. One of the major negative points for SingTaku last time was that a ton of people can’t participate due to sound-at-work.
Ah well, have fun.
😮 What the? It’s a fine line between madness and genius. I know not yet which side the Serrels is on. I have my suspicions, mind, based on previous evidence.
Sounds a bit like the Mass Effect menu music once I got Pure Imagination out of my head (thanks for that Gooky).
My work appears to block the media link which you’ve put there so I can no longer play 🙁
Yoshi’s Island fortress theme (SNES)
Not sure playable media is such a good idea. How bout a game where you post some stock images and we try to guess the name of the game based on them?
I’m with you, I’m not taken by Singtaku at all.
I think your idea is way better – kind of like a visual riddle.
I’m always up for new ideas, maybe we’ll do that one next.
I liked that idea where they posted random walkthrough lines to a Twitter feed.
Burgo’s Catch Phrase-taku
Oh god you mean I have to listen to things now? Nopenopenope.
Definitely pure imagination.
GREAT! The one day I forget my ear phones and you start a singing competition. 😛
absolutely no clue. got me stumped. Not sure if out of tune, or just not enough tune.
Sounds like “Pure Imagintion” By Gene Wilder from the movie WIlly Wonker and the Chocolate factory.
I love how positive people are! Can feel them positive vibes. So cant be song of storms though, goes down on the second part. End of my unhelpful contribution
I’m gonna guess a not so accurate Song of Storms.
As for people being unable to play at work, maybe have Singtaku once a week, then something else for the other days? I dunno.
Secret of Mana, Crystal Forest
the OST to FF-X!
Side note – I have no idea what the tune refers to, but I figure I might as well throw in my favourite musical pieces and see if I get a hit! =D
