No problems this week...
10. Non-stop paintings of the place most of us live in.
Most of us live in a house.
Non-stop paintings would be Endless Art.
A House - Endless Art
Score 1 for George.
9. Betty & Wilma, perhaps? Something tells me none of you will get this.
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
Score 2 for George.
8. Marcos might like some new shoes to teach Thunders how to sound.
Imelda Marcos likes lots of shoes.
Might = May.
Johnny Thunders.
Thunder also goes boom.
Imelda May - Johnny's Got A Boom Boom
Imelda has given up on her distinctive quiffy hairstyle, so isn't as recognisable as she once was.
1 point for Charity Chic.
7. Edwyn's gang gets squeezed by a bunch of traitors.
Edwyn Collins was in a gang called Orange Juice.
Squeeze that and it becomes OJ.
Traitors stab you in the back.
The O'Jays - Backstabbers
1 for Alyson.
6. Legendary African city seems even more ridiculous in the dazzling light of tomorrow.
A legendary African city is Timbuktu.
Make it more ridiculous and it becomes Timbuk 3.
Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)
Score 2 for Alyson.
5. Much excitement over the mystery of a Lost Boy.
The Lost Boys is a film starring (among others) Corey Haim.
Excitement is thrilling.
The Thrills - Whatever Happened To Corey Haim?
Much puzzling over this, but George got there in the end... which takes him to 3.
4. A little Italian asks you to double-check your answers.
Poco translates as "a little bit" in Italian.
Poco - You Better Think Twice
Point to Lynchie.
3. Charlie's rival falls into a chocolate Vesuvius.
Veruca Salt was a horrible girl in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
Vesuvius is a volcano.
Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls
Score 2 for Lynchie.
2. Titanic lady and some old electric cars go rambling.
Celine Dion sang the theme tune to Titanic... which I'm sure we all have in our collections.
You can google "Belmont electric cars" if you so wish.
Rambling is wandering.
Dion & The Belmonts - The Wanderer
Score 3 for Alyson.
1. A knife puts on new clothes.
Bowie - Changes
Which gets 1/2 a point for Lynchie and 1/2 a point for George, making George this week's winner - by just half a point. Thanks for playing, everybody.
More next week.
George the winner
ReplyDeleteThere will be no shutting him up now!
That's me, after many hours, caught up with everyrhing round here. Still got loads more places to spend hours reading what's been getting said (including Martin's place where the stuff about the novel will be devoured and foe which an order will be placed)
ReplyDeleteBut I'll say now....I'll be skipping your Saturday series as it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too tough!

You are a glutton for punishment, JC, you truly are. Thanks for taking the time to catch up, I really appreciate anyone who reads this nonsense, so someone spending an entire Sunday doing it means a hell of a lot!
