That's the one I call Alt 00's ( although it was the original link on the thread before heardledecades00s started their game.)

^ I most certainly wouldn't have got that but I think they have done a switcheroo again, don't recall hearing that.

Nice one Neil, but not what's on the card.
Clue number one, There are 8 numbers used to reach that total!

Further incorrect answers will earn further clues! :-D

Unlikely to be the card answer but...

The 8 numbers could be
100+100+100+50+10+10+10+8=388 or CCCLXXXVIII

Its the sum total in "new pence" of the current coins of the realm :-D

1p +2p +5p +10p +20p +50p +100p + 200p= 388p

Original: Thought I recognised it. Wrong, so wrong.
60's Heardle: Eleven Seconds
70's Heardle: Flop
80's Heardle: Nine seconds.
90's Heardle: No, all I heard was noise.
00's Heardle: No again, just more noise.
Alternative 00's: As above.

A dreadful crop, all a lot of noise, even the eighties one, almost gave up on that with all the horrible clattering.

Original: Complete unknown. At least no drums!
Sixties: Recognised after eight seconds. Need to think of who and what. Got the group but not the title.
Seventies: Seemed familiar after a few seconds. Would never have got it though.
Eighties: Complete flop, though it was
Spoiler: show
David Bowie
Nineties: No idea.
00s: Clueless. Unsurprisingly.
New 00s. Not a hope.
