Way back in December 2021, Snapshots #218 featured ten Drunk Songs. Today, I invite you to sample a few more beverages. I can't join you: I haven't had a drink since the 20th Century.
Please drink responsibly.
15. Pablo Escobar's last stand.
14. Wild Cherry? Aha!
Anagram!
13. Pricey set meets Suzanne in a diner.
Alan Price Set meets Suzanne Vega in Tom's Diner.
12. Whatchu talkin' bout, Phil & Don / Luke & Matt?
Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis? And some brothers...
The Willis Brothers - Three Sheets In The Wind
11. 90s dance party at small suffixes.
A rave on ettes (ette being a suffix which means small).
10. White smoke, and it really changes a woman.
"Changes a woman" was an anagram. White smoke announces a new Pope.
Shane MacGowan & The Popes - That Woman's Got Me Drinking
Look at the state he's in!
9. Rubber lips and the invisible rabbit.
Rubber lips is Mick Jagger. Harvey was the invisible rabbit.
8. Flick a frightening switch in the Milky Way.
Galaxy featuring Phil Fearon - Dancing Tight
7. Like Mel's mate, but with a deeper voice.
Mel (Smith)'s mate was Griff Rhys (Jones). This guy is a bit more Gruff.
Gruff Rhys - People Are Pissed
6. Randy & the Rainbows get stuck in a French room.
Randy & the Rainbows sang about Denise. A French room is la salle.
Denise LaSalle - Under The Influence
5. On target.
4. Hazy oboes: out of order.
"Hazy oboes" was an anagram. You might not know this guy, but this is one of Sam's favourite tunes at the moment. He's very popular with the young people. And actually quite listenable, unlike a lot of the stuff they dig.
Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy)
3. A mild day comes between Williams and Nick.
Between Andy Williams and Nick Lowe, there is fair weather.
Andy Fairweather Low - Wide-Eyed & Legless
2. A Cooke, a Clark, a Fox, a Berry.
Two Sams, two Daves.
1. They've got a Pedigree, like George and Andrew surrounded by sheep.
Pedigree Chum meets baa Wham baa. Easy when you know how.
Chumbawamba - Tubthumpin'
He drinks a whiskey drink. He drinks a Vodka drink. He drinks a Lager drink. He drinks a cider drink. And he ends up pissin' the night away. Or 'issing the night away, if he's on Top of the Pops.
I'm giving you a week to sober up before the 400th edition of Snapshots.
Thank you Rol
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent Saturday Snapshots, Rol. I won’t pretend that I missed it because I was roaringly drunk on Friday night and was sleeping off a hangover.
ReplyDeleteI had an early night and went back to sleep for a couple of hours after getting up to feed the cat. I got up at 9.30, by which time it was long over!
Great work, as always. I will aim to be on the ball for #400 next Sat.
No worries, K. I consider Snapshots something to do when you don't have a better offer!
