Saturday Snapshots #305: A Top Ten Fairy Tale Songs

Once Upon A Time there was a little quiz called Saturday Snapshots... 

10. Godlike records.

Divine vinyl records...

The Divinyls - Sleeping Beauty

9. Came alive in 1976.

Peter Frampton released Frampton Comes Alive! in 1976. Every household in the USA was forced to buy a copy. It was his... ahem... golden goose...

Peter Frampton - Golden Goose

8. Probably lime flavoured.

Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs

7. Jester hoping for yuletide snow.

Danny Kaye was in The Court Jester... and White Christmas.

Danny Kaye - The Ugly Duckling

What other blogs do you know that will take you from Green Jelly to Danny Kaye in one move?

6. Which service do you require?

999 - Lil' Red Riding Hood

5. Bard's missus gets fried at the gates of Heaven.

Anne (Hathaway) gets crispy at St. Peter's

Crispian St. Peters - The Pied Piper

4. Are you giving me some messed up data, man?

"Data, man" was an anagram.

Adam Ant - Puss In Boots

That video is a thing of true beauty.

3. We rest her habitual sofa rimples inside. 

We rest her habitual sofa rimples inside. 

Esther & Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockafella

When you hear a record you haven't heard in 40 years and you are simultaneously delighted and horrified.

2. Good looking blood.

The Handsome Family - Snow White Diner

That, on the other hand, never grows old.

1. Beyond compare.

Nothing compares to her.

Sinead O'Connor - The Emperor's New Clothes

And we all lived happily ever after.

  2. Not a fairy tale, but when Peter Frampton was in The Herd they had a hit with 'Paradise Lost'. Perhaps one for your Epic Poems Top 10? I'm sure as an English teacher you could rattle one off in no time.
