Snapshots #314: A Top Ten Carrie Songs

The late, great Carrie Fisher introduces our Top Ten Carrie songs. Yesterday's image of Sissy Spacek would have been an extra clue for anyone who remembers her break-out performance.

Let's Carrie on with the songs...

10. How I wish we were still together.

Don't get me started on Brexit.

Europe - Carrie

Don't dance with your hands in your pockets, Joey.

9. One's highest degree of enemy.

A doctorate is the highest degree you can get a university. 

This week's Number One was the Peter Pan of Pop. 

Peter Pan's enemy was Captain Hook.

Dr. Hook - Carry Me, Carrie

8. A river runs through it.

Rivers run through valleys.

Frankie Valli - Carrie (I Would Marry You)

I presume this was a few years after he carried her books from school.

7. Daddy sang bass.

Her Daddy was Johnny Cash. 

Roseanne Cash - Carrie

A lullaby for her third daughter, Carrie.

6. Hunter, Wood, Valance.

Holly Hunter, Hollywood, Holly Valance...

The Hollies - Carrie Anne

5. Don't you cry for me.

No, it's not Argentina.

Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me...

Although Ms. Ungerleider no longer records under that name, since she delved into the controversial history of the old deep south song. 

Oh Susanna - Carrie Lee

4. Shuddering river goddess.

Styx was both a goddess of the underworld and a river into it. It translates as "shuddering".

Styx - Carrie Anne

3. What's up? Is a pompom useful to find the answer in?

What's up, doc?

Is a pompom useful?

Doc Pomus - Work, Little Carrie

2. Jeans, vests, fun!

Anagram!

Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

1. Never grew up. 

It's the Peter Pan of Pop!

Cliff Richard - Carrie

Another song that reminds me of my childhood. Thanks, Tel.

Carrie yourself back here next Saturday for more of the same...
