Snapshots #376: A Top 15 Songs About A Christmas Carol

Bah! Humbug!

Fifteen tunes dedicated to Ebeneezer Scrooge, and the cast of A Christmas Carol...


15. Himalayan utopias.



That'll be the best song you hear today.

14. Mark Strange.

Mark Strange, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the current Primus (the presiding bishop) of the Scottish Episcopal Church.

Primus - Bob

This was as close as I could get to a song about Bob Cratchit.

13. Cloned man is an aberration.

"Cloned man" is an excellent anagram.

Don McLean - Marley's Song (Save Yourself)

12. Venus slippers?


Venus Slippers are a type of Orchid.


11. Shoemakers from Bromley.



10. Wendy, Etta, Tommy and Sonny get together.



Fred, as I'm sure you're all aware, was Scrooge's nephew.

9. Exciting times follow the commercials.


After the ads come...


8. Did Yves Saint make shampoo?



7. Aussie woman known for doing one's drugs.

The Aussie woman would be a Sheila. This week's number one act were known for liking their E.

Sheila E - The Belle Of Saint Mark

Belle, as I'm sure you're all aware, was Scrooge's former fiancée.

6. A watery grave for bloke who upsets middle-class women of a certain age.

Greg Wallace is the scoundrel deserving of being buried in a Lake...

Greg Lake - Humbug

That's the B-side to a rather more well-known Christmas tune.

5. Shirley's Happy pal makes a lovely cake.

The Happy Days spin-off show featured Laverne & Shirley. A baker makes cakes.

Lavern Baker - Tiny Tim

4. Parenthetic Screamers (Mr Agana).

Parenthetic Screamers was an anagram... as was Mr Agana.

Manic Street Preachers - The Ghost Of Christmas

3. A superhero with the powers of Rigby, MacDonald and Winehouse.

Sounds like a job for Amy-Man!

Aimee Mann - Jacob Marley's Chain

2. Poor Cecelia, so befuddled.

"Poor Cecelia" was an anagram...

Alice Cooper - Make That Money (Scrooge's Song)

1. Sounds like Halifax Town.

Halifax Town, as I'm sure you're all aware, are also known as the Shay-Men.

The Shamen - Ebeneezer Good

A great philosopher once wrote: Naughty naughty, very naughty...


And to all, a good night.

More (less-seasonal) Snapshots next Saturday.
