Fifth Stanza of Riddle

[inatimate1]

The last part is a tricky one
So play it carefully:
Explode, the strongest wind
No sea legs here, a song by D.D.E.

The last two lines seems to be split into four separate parts, the song by D.D.E. I think might be E6. Explode suggests maybe TNT, but I'm stuck on the other two parts. 
Not sure if the two lines previously are just a feeder into the last part, but "play it carefully" seems a bit of an odd comment, it kind of suggests some sort of musical connotation to me.

Im seeing the elements: Explode=fire wind=wind no sea legs=earth. Not sure about the song. Maybe something to do with water??

Just posting this here from a comment made by Monica C. on the FB Page (I asked and she didn't mind)....but it keeps things organized...

"There is a song called Sea Legs by the band The Shins."

[charlie32]

Interesting stuff. From what I have read, the strongest wind would be an EF5. E6 could make sense in that context I suppose.

What if dde isn't the band but the songwriter?

[baby]

Dark Desert Eagles? The tribute band?
Dunno. But it is the only band/artist I could make a connection to.

[TxTH]

Don't forget one of the top bands of my time - Earth, Wind, and Fire.

I think I'm onto something here: Explode = C4, Strongest Wind = F5, No Sea Legs = C6 (Get it? Seasick! lol), Song by DDE = E6. This has to at least be on the right track. "Play it carefully" could refer to music, (chords or tabs) but also (and more likely considering my google results) refer to chess, however, C4-F5-C6-E6 is an impossible sequence because F5, C6, and E6 are all opening moves from the same side of the board. Looking at the chessboard alone, connecting the "dots" in the above order, I came up with a figure that looks a bit like an "S" but other than that, I'm stuck. Thoughts, anyone?

working on the music angle of your C4,F5,C6, E6.  The distances between the keys.  Note the keys progress from left to right

how did you arrive at E6?

if you play those first three notes (C4 F5 C6) on a piano (or any other instrument) they sound very much like the opening to 'Fanfare for the common man' . Written by Aaron Copeland but most people would be familiar with the version by Emerson Lake Palmer.  Probably not helpful to us as they dont appear to relate to DDE

With a fourth note it might be possible to identify a song written by or performed by D.D.E whoever they are,  the only reference to a band called D.D.E is a Norwegian band who have their own youtube channel

[elysethecat]

The Norwegian band D.D.E. has a song, E6. Their version refers to the main highway in Norway, but it fits with the rest of the alphanumeric theme.

[squirejames88]

I like this alphanumeric line, especially the C4 for explode. I was drawing complete blanks on that one.

Thanks,  was searching but didnt find it.

so now we have C4 F5 C6 E6

I found a neat bit of software on the net where you can enter the notes of a tune and it will pop out a list of matching songs
www.melodycatcher.com

Unfortunate it uses java plugins so you will have to use internet explorer and add a security exception for that site to use it.



It will only search for polyphonic music or ring tones but I would assume that the author of the hunt is expecting us to use something like this being its all based on the interwebs.


This is a list of songs created if I search for tunes that start with the four note C4 F5 C6 E6 (about 40 of them)
www.melodycatcher.com/search.php?s=48596064&data=000000000

Here the list if you search for that note sequence anywhere in a song (about 400 of them)
www.melodycatcher.com/search.php?s=48596064&anywhere=t&data=000000001

I'm hoping the webite isnt using cookies to store all that, I'm buggered if I am going to cut/paste 400+ results
Looking through the list of titles I didnt see anything that referred to 'careful' or 'playing it' or 'Slow'
Although Kenny Rogers - The Gambler is in the list and could possibly be an answer
Possibly the HUNGARIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

[squirejames88]

I think a lot of these answers on the piano tunes are great, but I have to point out a small but important error.
If you go from middle c to f to the next c to e you may get a lot of these tunes, but c4 to f5 is a jump of 10 whole notes,
which I don't think a lot of these aforementioned tunes are taking into account.

There's possibly an error, maybe some octave shifting as ringtones are limited in range.  Yes there's a big range in tones,  but that's not uncommon.  Many songs have that Including the National anthem in the USA

I posted the links in the hopes that others will also search for a matching tune,  by what ever means they find.
Theres plenty of apps out there that will try identify the song by sound,  but I dont have a microphone on my computer,  I would appreciate if someone who does tries that.  I'm guessing that will give more accurate results

With regards to what the song actually is  Im working on the theory that the 3 pieces of the key are actually the 3 parts of a web address.  WWW.ABC.UK etc
With that in mind  a national anthem would make a whole heap of sense as it would give the country code .uk  .ie .hu etc
