Snapshots #379 - A Top Twelve Songs About Different Times Of The Day


What's your favourite time of day?

Whatever your answer, we've got a song for it...


12. Make a liar out of a graduate director.

The director of The Graduate was Mike Nichols. He didn't direct Billy Liar.

Billy Nicholls - Daytime Girl 

11. Baseball playing nun.

Swing Out Sister - Twilight World

10. Join the Anti-RAF ranks and fight for a less confused world!

"Anti-RAF ranks" was an obvious anagram...

Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

9. Carpenter bonds with fifth. 

Karen Carpenter meets the 5th Bond... Timothy Dalton. (For those of you who thought Dalton was the fourth Bond... you forgot David Niven.)

Karen Dalton - In The Evening (It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best)

8. Leaders of the Funky Bunch split up.

Markey Mark was the leader of the Funky Bunch. I'm sure you knew that.

The Mar-Keys - About Noon

Or you could have had...

The Mar-Keys - Last Night

7. A hunting rifle.

Flintlock - Dawn

6.  Majors, Frank, Los Angeles, one laugh, three quarters of a vase.

Damn hard to come up with a clue for her, but... Lee (Majors), Anne (Frank), LA, HA!, Vas-.

Lianne La Havas - Midnight

5. Visit the Taylor & Womack Cleansing Spa.


Let James (Taylor) and Bobby (Womack) Purify you...

James & Bobby Purify - Morning Glory

4. 5c change.

You'll be wanting a nickel back.

Nickelback - This Afternoon

3. Nirvana play one's opus.

Nirvana is heaven. Our #1 act today sang Opus 17.

 Heaven 17 - Sunset Now

2. Throwaway storytelling.

Pulp fiction...

Pulp - Sunrise

1. Artichokes, tomatoes and basil, mushrooms, ham and olives.

All the ingredients of a quattro stagioni... or a four seasons pizza.

I would have allowed...

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - Dawn

But the real #1 answer is this...

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - The Night
