It's a rather cumbersome title to this week's quiz... but I'm sure you all know what I mean.
Here are fifteen songs about what Ray Davies called Celluloid Heroes...
15. He allowed Zoe to get all messed up.
"He allowed Zoe" was an anagram...
14. Invisible violet growing in the mountains.
If violet is invisible, it's ultraviolet. Montane means, "of or inhabiting mountainous country".
The Ultra Montanes - Aging Starlet
13. Birmingham City are a temperamental bunch.
Birmingham City are the Blues, or so I'm told.
12. Found in Labradors and just outside Glasgow.
LaBRADors from Paisley.
11. Get high in a South End amusement park.
Kursaal Flyers - The Great Artiste
10. Frizzy.
That's not how I'd spell "idol", but the song fits.
Marvin was paranoid. Like a pig could be Ham-lish.
I included that one just for George.
Because it's prog! No other reason...
6. Carson pulled a few.
"That's a cracker," said Frank Carson. Not Johnny.
5. Once had to deal with a sneezing baby, a broken toaster and a burnt soufflé, all in the same day.
Those are the lyrics of Coming Around Again. This is a lesser known offering...
4. How much do you want for this commotion?
Name your Price for Lloyd (Cole).
3. Michael and Marti's rat meets #4's Stagger.
Michael and Marti both sang about Ben, the rat. Lloyd Price sang about Stagger Lee.
2. LGBTQ party doesn't get a passing grade.
The LGBTQ party, so I'm reliably informed, would be a Kiki. D is not a pass.
1. Pursue Dean Martin to find the answer.
Pursue Dean Martin...
Suede - Filmstar
You're nominated for another starring role next Saturday...
Ingenious. Thanks Rol.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rol - It all now makes sense although I didn't home in on those songs yesterday at all.
