Snapshots #384: Twelve Capital City Songs


Let's go around the world in twelve songs - what a capital idea!

12. Part Mull Historical Society, part Travis, part Box Tops.

Mull Historical Society, part Travis, part Box Tops.

This means nothing to me.

Ultravox - Vienna

11. Third new home for Judge Dredd.

Judge Dredd lives in Mega City One. His first new home would be Mega City Two. His second would be Mega City Three. His third would be...

Mega City Four - Prague

10. Blokes who missed the bus.

The Walkmen - Lisbon

9. Chemistry or Biology?

Science - Tokyo 

8. They don't look a day over fifty.

The 1975 - Paris

7. Finished his job in 6 days, then had a rest.

Lord Creator - Kingston Town

6. Rude Leo in another crazy outburst. 

"Rude Leo" was an anagram...

Lou Reed - Berlin

5. Britten's small oranges.

Benjamin Britten loved his clementines.

Benjamin Clementine - London

4. Like Jones, in the rain.

Oran Juice Jones like walking in The Rain.

Orange Juice - Moscow

3. South African footballers.

Amazulu - Cairo

2. There's zero reggae at his jumble sale.

"Zero reggae", unjumbled, gives us...

George Ezra - Budapest

1. The Highlands, by foot.


A nice place to be a walker, if you're a Scot.

Two possible answers in the top spot...

Scott Walker - Amsterdam

Scott Walker - Copenhagen

I had one more on the list, which I didn't use because they appeared here two weeks ago, and because I'm triskaidekaphobic.

Joy Division - Warsaw

More of this nonsense next week.
