This gentleman is The Weeknd. I can't pretend to be familiar with his work, but I do know that the French don't have a word for him. Here are ten songs that have nothing to do with him...
10. Most of a Slayer meets Sky Saxon's mob.
Most of Buffy the Vampire Slayer would be Buff.
Sky Saxon was in The Seeds.
The Buffseeds - Who Stole The Weekend?
9. Shorter than the King of Pop.
The King of Pop was Michael Jackson. This is Mick Jackson, who coincidentally wrote Blame It On The Boogie which was then a big hit for his slightly longer namesake.
8. Alias Gibson & Basinger.
Mel Gibson & Kim Basinger never made a movie together or this clue would have been a lot cleverer.
Mel & Kim - Showing Out (Get Fresh At the Weekend)
7. He'll never be an old guy.
He'll always be a new gent.
6. They'll have you fuming.
The Vapors - Waiting For The Weekend
5. Great minds thought alike in the summer of '96.
In the summer of 1996, there were two big chart hits with (virtually) the same title...
Super Furry Animals - Something 4 The Weekend
The Divine Comedy - Something For The Weekend
4. It's less titchy when you shake it about a bit.
"It's less titchy" was an anagram. Shake it around a bit and you get...
The Stylistics - Funky Weekend
3. Hyacinth Bouquet's favourite band.
2. Discontinued chocolate bars.
Sadly, they don't make Drifters anymore.
The Drifters - Another Lonely Weekend
Or you could have had...
The Drifters - Don't Cry On The Weekend
1. Coolly, Del makes lots of noise.
Anagram + a right commotion...
Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Lost Weekend
The Buffseeds, The Buffy Seeds - I wasn’t far out.
ReplyDeleteGood one yesterday. Thanks as ever for hosting.
