Bah! Humbug!
Fifteen tunes dedicated to Ebeneezer Scrooge, and the cast of A Christmas Carol...
15. Himalayan utopias.
Mark Strange, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the current Primus (the presiding bishop) of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
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?
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...
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.
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...
