Let's be Frank - I don't make this quiz easy, do I?
In fact, I go out of my way to make it as tricky as I can... otherwise, you guys have worked out the answer in about 30 seconds flat.
Let's see how long it takes you this week to identify the assorted miscreants below and find a link between their songs... but be careful: I will only accept a precise answer this week. No wider generalisations!
12. Soon became atheists.
11. Mates with David Hamilton.
10. Rodney: not a plonker.
9. Frank & Jesse. (One song from each.)
8. Compasses point them out.
7. How Superman gets his calcium.

5. Deliver them from evil.
4. Best to keep your Crown Jewels safe.

Well done, John!
DeleteWell done that man!
DeleteYes well done John.
Delete5 is presumably the 'Duelling Banjos' people - Eric Wesiberg and can't remember the other one.
ReplyDeleteThink JM may be on the right track but might be musical instruments more generally as Diana Ross might be there for 'My Old Piano'
Although a piano also has strings of course so maybe he is spot on
