Snapshots #231: A Top Ten Easy Songs


Yesterday's quiz was far too easy.

But I'd have got away with it, if it wasn't for you pesky kids...


10. A giro pal got confused in the early 70s.

"A giro pal" was an anagram for this Canadian rocker from the 70s...

Pagliaro - Lovin' You Ain't Easy 

9. Stupid stuff.

Senseless Things - Easy To Smile

8. Like Captain Kirk, or Jeff's Dad.

Captain Kirk sailed the stars. Jeff Buckley's dad recorded the song these guys were named after.

Starsailor - Silence Is Easy

7. The pipes are calling for just schoolboy(s).

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling... for Just William.

Danny Williams - Dancin' Easy

(That's Martini!)

6. Here, he has no name.

Where The Streets Have No Name? (No, I'm not linking to that.)

The Streets - It Was Supposed To Be So Easy

5. RR: organist, on a beach. 

"RR: organist" was an anagram... of the guy pictured, on a beach. Normally he'd play the drums.

Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy

4. Plays middleman for John, Eddy and Amy... with Sally. 

John Grant, Eddy Grant and Amy Grant meet Sally MacLennane, with help from a Go-Between.

Grant McLennan - Easy Come, Easy Go

3. Found in dirt and talons, lord and titans, Ronald and tits.

Three anagrams for...

Linda Ronstadt - It's So Easy

2. Part Blues Run The Game, part Funkin' For Jamaica.

Blues Run The Game was written, and originally recorded by, Jackson Frank.

Tom Browne was Funkin' For Jamaica.

Jackson Browne - Take It Easy

(Because The Eagles cover version would have been TOO easy!)

1. I favoured Spectrums.

I had a Spectrum 48K. Rather than one of these...



Take it easy for the rest of Sunday morning. You deserve it.

More Snapshots next week...
