Snapshots #365 - A Top Ten Songs About Metals

If anyone wants to take me to task that Metal Mickey isn't holding a camera in the above image (as is customary for this feature), I have but one retort: he has an in-built camera, of course!

Here are ten songs featuring precious, and not-so-precious, metals. 

 

10. Spotted in a thirty centimetre X-ray.

Yhirty centimetre X-ray.

T-Rex - Think Zinc

9. Nine carat or less.

That's pretty low quality gold.

Lowgold - Mercury

8. In later years, he would go live with the rabbits.

In a Hutch.

David Soul - Silver Lady

7. Enjoys Welsh foxglove with her muffins.

Welsh foxglove is Ffion. Martha had her Muffins.

Martha Ffion - Lead Balloon

6. Never had a daily show.

Jon Stewart was the host of the Daily Show. Not John Stewart.

John Stewart - Gold 

I know many of you would have preferred Spandau Ballet, but that would have been too easy.

5. Could be a gutted diva. 

"A gutted diva" was an anagram...

David Guetta - Titanium

4. Shrunken heads.

Small Faces - Tin Soldier

3. Introducing...

Prelude - Platinum Blonde

2. Everything gets confused when a twit perishes.

"Twit perishes" was another anagram.

White Stripes - Aluminum

I think you're missing the second i there, Jack.

1.  Red lynx cat meets naughty dog. 

A red lynx would be a bobcat. Marley was a naughty dog in Marley & Me... with a sad end.

(This was actually a photo of Bob and a couple of the future Wailers in their first band, The Teenagers. But you try to find a photo of Bob Marley that isn't instantly recognisable!)

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Iron Lion Zion

Snapshots will be back next Saturday. I'm not taking the Mickey!
