Snapshots #246: A Top Ten Diamond Songs


A Diamond Geezer introduce a Top Ten Diamond Songs... though there were quite a few more I didn't have room for in the jewellery box.



10. Flying fast over MacArthur Park, Hadley claims to be Solo.


Jet + (Richard) Harris (who sang MacArthur Park).

Tony Hadley says "Me Han" (Solo).

Or maybe you just recognised their faces.


9. Rhyming kickers.


Hoddle & Waddle, famous for kicking a ball... and for recording this, which is better than I remember it being.


(In my continual quest to find artists who have never featured in Snapshots before, there are no depths I won't plumb.)

8. Lassie, Laika, Mr. Ed.



7. Colorado Beatle.


John was a Beatle. Denver is in Colorado.


6. Hipster friend joins the PTA. 


Ben is my hipster friend. He's not yet joined the Harper Valley PTA.


5. An ivy sunbath.


Anagram!


4. Rowan's bottom.


Anagram!


3. Coyote cries like a baby.


Wile E. Coyote goes Waaah!


2. Surely you can't be serious about that deep sounding fish?


A bassey would be a deep sounding fish... and don't call me Shirley!


1. Al. 

On the other hand, he's happy for you to call him Al.

Paul Simon - Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes


Shine on, you crazy diamonds... at least until next Saturday morning, when the Snapshots will flash again.
