Saturday Snapshots #172 - Top Ten Hurt Songs

 

"Will there be pics of cuddly lickle kitty-kats next Saturday?" Lynchie asked last week.

Not on Saturday, no.

The link this week was pretty easy, I thought. No apologies for featuring REM two weeks running... those are the rules now.

A TOP TEN HURT SONGS

10. Smiley society.

Smiley Culture's Club?

Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

Boy George let himself go a few years back, but he's looking pretty sharp now. 

9. Short record player found in awards ceremony bathroom.

Gramophone, shortened, in the loo at the Emmys.

Gram Parson & Emmylou Harris - Love Hurts

8. Freezing factory.

Icicle Works - Melanie Still Hurts

7. Empty method, end in a bra. 

A method is a way. If it's empty, it's hollow.

Put end in bra and you get Br-end-a.

Brenda Holloway - Every Little Bit Hurts

Or...

Brenda Holloway - Hurt A Little Every Day

Or...

Brenda Holloway - Starting The Hurt All Over Again

Blimey. Brenda had a lot of hurt.

6. Light sleep, vivid dreams.

That would be REM sleep.

REM - Everybody Hurts

5. Smelly Spider-Man.

"Skunk Anansie" is taken from Akan folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier". Or smellier.

Skunk Anansie - Twisted (Everyday Hurts)

4. Grounded since 2003.

The Concorde was grounded in 2003.

I'm crying tears of a rapper...

Flight of the Conchords - Hurt Feelings

3. Anchorman college jump.

Anagram!

John Cougar Mellencamp - Hurts So Good

(Makes those Robert Palmer videos everybody complained about look tame.)

2. Distant Arnold.

Another anagram!

Linda Ronstadt - Hurts So Bad

1. Paycheck not accepted for lengthy manicure.

If Johnny won't use a paycheck for his Nine Inch Nail, I guess he'll have to pay Cash.

Don't hurt too much - Saturday Snapshots will be back to soothe your pain next week... maybe with added cuddly lickle kitty-kats, who can say?
