I may be busy, but there's always time for snapshots (until there isn't)...
Ten clues to ten great songs. Go!
10. Turner & The Equalisers: not too popular on the wireless.
(Insert "nice buns" gag if you so wish.)
9. Catch these guys for a little drink with the king of the gods.
8. Age brings about angina for these visionary majors.
7. Every X-Factor contestant wants to be one - most are unlucky.
6. Ginger's fella takes over the world, gets dazzled by Bruce's torch.
5. Redknapp for Division One, people!
4. Often found in California and Victorian London: antiquated lizards.
2. Tom's hairpiece prefers to walk home.
1. Gizmo's dad plays cards with Kalamazoo.
They're easy when you know the answers!
6. Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light
ReplyDelete8. The Isley Brothers - This Old Heart Of Mine
1. Della And The Dealer - Hoyt Axton
ReplyDelete5. Jam - The Human League
ReplyDeleteRight band, wrong song.
DeleteI'm clueless about Harry Redknapp and football. I'll make a wild guess for no 5: Don't You Want Me
DeleteI'm clueless about football too. It's actually a music reference.
DeleteI know who 3 is but I can't guess the song.
ReplyDeleteAnd the full title of The Isley Brothers song is "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)"
7. Big Star - Thirteen
ReplyDeleteNo.2 Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian at Best.
ReplyDeleteI think No.4 is Bill Callahan of Smog, but someone will have to help out with the song title.
ReplyDeletePossibly his best known song?
DeleteCold blooded old times?
DeleteYes. I still think you know #10.
DeleteI feel I should
DeleteThe coffee shop is hers.
DeleteThat's my inspiration used up.
ReplyDeleteI have none for any of the clues!
DeleteNo. 5 - Is it Louise? Have written about that song over at my place, and relevant to you of course!
ReplyDeleteIs there a famous Louise associated with the clue in any way?
DeleteI was relying on you for #3, Alyson!
DeleteI thought you were referring to Louise Redknapp (was Nurding) of Eternal?
DeleteI was.
DeleteNo. 10 - Technically they are muffins!
ReplyDeleteNot if you're from Yorkshire.
DeleteFair point.
DeleteLate to the party. Without looking at the comments I got no 2 Pedestrian at Best by Courtney Barnett
ReplyDeleteToo late once again, could have got a few without looking at the comments so had my fun at least - now just trying to work out what's missing - and No. 10 looks familiar but unplaceable - maybe I need some wine again this week before I come back ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear even without wine I still get my numbers mixed up, I meant No. 3. He's bugging me.
DeleteC - If you know your Bloom County cartoons (Bloom County being the greatest cartoon strip in the history of cartoon strips) he's known as Dan Fogerburp...(see cartoon below):

Aha, couldn't have done it without you Gram, thanks - this must be a shared point and No. 10 must be Dan Fogelberg and 'Longer'.
DeleteOr No. 3.
DeleteHonestly, you guys are great at music: not too hot on counting.
Yes, I'm off my game this Saturday and wouldn't have got Dan F without that clue either. All these artists whose names I know but don't necessarily know what they look like.
DeleteLate to the party and nothing meaningful to contribute I'm afraid
ReplyDeleteI think you know 10.
DeleteAnd of course, you're all too cool to admit to knowing #9.
ReplyDeleteAre there extra points for working out that the Elvis pic at the top is from the ‘68 film Live a Little, Love a Little. No thought not.
ReplyDeleteIf I gave extra marks for being smarter than the quizmaster, you'd all be winners.
Delete5. Human League - Louise
ReplyDelete7. Big Star - Thirteen
2. Counrtney Barnett - can't think of the song though
