Snapshots #238: A Top Ten Songs About Germany

The Male Nurse - A German Sleeps In My Bed

8. Merry Hit CD.

Anagram!

Mitch Ryder - Berlin

7. Lecherous and Butch.

Randy & Paul Newman (Butch Cassidy).

Randy Newman - In Germany Before The War

6. Binman cab.

Anagram!

Ian McNabb - German Soldier's Helmet Circa 1943 

5. Siblings of the silo.

The Cornshed Sisters - Dresden

4. Brokers.

The Go-Betweens - German Farmhouse

3. Fruit favoured by Christ.

The Passion(Fruit) of the Christ?

The Passions - I'm In Love With A German Film Star

2. Used to get lots of letters from readers.

Editors - Munich

1. In December, Linda scores two points.


Berlin the band with a song that mentions Berlin the city. Zwei punkte.

  1. That was a hard one!
    Kicking myself for not getting the Passions, though. Mr SDS' band supported them once! No musical connection whatsoever though, just that they were playing the local venue. But I do remember they were very good.

  2. Can’t believe I didn’t get Ian McNabb. Sad. This is Brian. Will follow Alyson’s advice about becoming more than anonymous.
