Snapshots #373: A Top Ten Musical Shapes


John Noakes has a camera on his head purely so that I can use the line "get down, Shape!"

Here are ten shapes you can get down to... 


10. Always looking for the latest thing...

The New Seekers - Circles

9. Ellen hefts twerp all over the place.

"Ellen hefts twerp" was an anagram!

Stephen Fretwell - Oval

8. Committees from the Great White North.

Boards of Canada - Turquoise Hexagon Sun

7. Squad found in gooseberries and lingonberries, but not in raspberries.

The Go! Team - Semicircle Song

6. Goes well with Pepsi.

Pepsi & Shirley?

Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever

5. Max Jaffa.

The day I run out of Half Man Half Biscuit-related puns will be a sad day indeed.

Half Man Half Biscuit - Oblong Of Dreams

That's the best song you'll hear today. Brings a tear to my eye.

4. Loud noise heard during Xanadu pre-election campaign. 

Xanadu pre-election campaign, and his Big Sound...

Simon Dupree & The Big Sound - Kites

3. Tranny, over heels.

A tranny was an old name for a radio + head over heels...

Radiohead - Pyramid Song

2. Apply brawny arm oil and rub in vigorously. 

"Brawny arm oil" was an anagram...

Barry Manilow - Bermuda Triangle

1. Secondary Greeks.

The Beta Band - Squares

Shape up for more Snapshots next Saturday...
