Snapshots Spillover: More Songs About Famous Female Singers (Appendix #1)

Inevitably, this week's Snapshots threw up a plethora of possibilities. Here's a few I couldn't find room for, starting with one about the lady above...


Those of you who are paying attention will realise that I also featured that song on Friday. It merits the double-exposure.

While we're with the girl groups, here's an important question to live your life by...

The Launderettes - What Would Joan Jett Do?

And while we're at CBGBs...

Action Family - Patti Smith

Family Fodder - Debbie Harry

Sarah/Shaun - Debbie Harry

These guys got squeezed out at the last second yesterday... but they had two possible tunes.

Sonic Youth - Hey Joni

Sonic Youth - Madonna, Sean, And Me

And this one got squeezed out because it's... well, not my cup of tea.

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand 

To be honest, I prefer the lady herself...

Barbra Streisand - My Name Is Barbra

This one would have been included had Calexico not made their Snapshots debut a few weeks back...

Calexico - Not Even Stevie Nicks

And here are a few I doubt anyone would have guessed even with the most obvious clues... 

Andrew Johnson - (I'm in Love With) Donna Summer

David Dondero - The Real Tina Turner

Lonelyklown - Like Karen Carpenter

Aura Dione - Shania Twain

Young Cole - Alicia Keys

And I've got enough of these for another post, so that's Wednesday covered. Let's finish today with old Blog favourites Bowling For Soup, and a song about the biggest female pop star in the world right now...
