Snapshots #364: A Top Ten New York Landmark Songs


Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today...


10. Cracking quads.

Lynsey de Paul had thighs of thunder!

Thunderthighs - Central Park Arrest

9. Norma irons V into all her shirts. 

"Norma irons V" was an anagram... of course!

Van Morrison - Coney Island

8. Wuthering Heights meets The Walking Dead.

Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights. This is actress Emily Kinney who appeared in The Walking Dead... and she's a pretty good singer-songwriter too.

Emily Kinney - Times Square

7. A Ewing in the shower.

When Bobby Ewing came back from the dead, he was naked as the day he was born.

Bobby Bare - Brooklyn Bridge

6. Two & three. One & four not pictured.

One-two-three-four! This is Johnny and Dee Dee. Joey and Tommy were elsewhere on the bus.

The Ramones - Rockaway Beach

5. They put Sting 'n' Git together... surely not?

Sting a git? No way!

Anagram!

The Ting Tings - Guggenheim

The Guggenheim was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

4. He wouldn't say it if he didn't mean it.

Lyrics from Lost Weekend.

Lloyd Cole - Radio City Music Hall

3. It's very strange in Donna's attic.

"Donna's attic" was an anagram.

Candi Staton - Nights On Broadway

2. Text Cher and ask for her insight.

Text Cher...

XTC - Statue Of Liberty

1. Found confused in the icky aisle. 

Lots of anagrams this week. Sometimes that's all I can come up with. I'll try harder next time.

Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind

And I'm gonna make a brand-new start of it next Saturday, with more Snapshots...

    1. I realise she's pretty obscure, but it was a nice song and the best/only Times Square song I could find.
