There are loads of song that mention other singers (solo artists) in their titles. I'm sure we'll have a Snapshots or two that will connect some of them in the future. But I had a devil of a time finding songs that mention other bands in the title. Well done if you worked out the connections, although hopefully the extra photos helped... and a late night / early morning guest appearance from Brian to get the ball rolling.
10A. Solo insult from a Princess.
10B. Van Halen
Jonathan Richman - The Velvet Underground
8A. Stubby marsupials.
The Wombats - Let's Dance To Joy Division
7A. Howling procession.
Wolf Parade - Fine Young Cannibals
(Credit where it's due: Ben gave me that one. It's a cool tune though. For a Ben recommendation.)
6A. Dusty MC Oldness.
Anagram!
6B. Daft Punk (Yes, that is what Daft Punk look like under their helmets.)
LCD Sound System - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
5A. He's crackers!
Clearly he's half a man and half a biscuit.
5B. Styx
Half Man Half Biscuit - Styx Gig (Seen by My Mates Coming out of a...)
4A. The True USA.
Anagram!
4B. The Rubettes
Those are some tight pants.
3. Nervous, sad celebrities.
They're stars, but they're blue. And trembling.
3B. Abba
Trembling Blue Stars - Abba On The Jukebox
2A. Four kibbles.
Anagram! (I knew CC would get this one... with a little encouragement.)
2B. Fountains of Wayne
Robbie Fulks - Fountains Of Wayne Hotline
(Robbie Fulks loves FoW, by the way. He's not taking the piss. He genuinely appreciates their skills with a catchy riff. Rightly so.)
"Oh, that Gerald..." always makes me chortle.
1A. Courtney's home!
Excellent, loved the twist.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely inexcusable not to have come up with Trembling Blue Stars. A new low for me on this game. Sure was fun to play though. One of those weeks where I fell asleep watching a movie (French new wave is the perfect sleeping aid) and woke up right when Saturday Snapshots went live. Love when that happens.
ReplyDeleteI did think that one might have been yours, Brian.
