Welcome, all you Material Girls and Boys to a list of songs about fabrics. Lou Reed graced our opening shot yesterday with his Velvet Underground... and today, we have Brett Anderson from Suede.
Here are twelve songs that fit the theme...
12. Can you a Ford to drive these guys around?
11. Seen in disgusting August.
10. Goes with Marie and a Spanish Bandit.
Donny goes with Marie. A Spanish bandit would be El-Burt Reynolds.
Donnie Elbert - Little Piece Of Leather
9. Pestered by Society.
To pester is to bug. A society might also be a club.
8. Wrote a diary about being a baptist.
Bridget (Jones) wrote a diary. St. John was a baptist.
Bridget St. John - Curious & Woolly
7. Hopefully nobody will think this week's Snapshots features a crap link. Er...
"Crap link. Er" was an anagram...
Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes
6. They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
So said Randy Newman, anyway.
I apologise for that. It's the last thing anyone wants to hear on a Sunday morning.
5. Weller's necklace.
Plain and white.
3. Fresh.
The Bobbies go to Vin-ton.
Amazingly, this is the first time he's appeared here...
Bobby Vinton - Blue Velvet
I listened to some of that White Plains track
