Snapshots #414: Swearing Songs!


If you're easily offended by foul and obscene words, this week's Snapshots are not for you.

Language, Timothy!


15. Fell walking while eating muffins.

Alfred Wainwright wrote books about fell-walking. Martha had some muffins.

Martha Wainwright - Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole

14. Let me take you by the hand...

...and lead you through The Streets (of London).

The Streets - Such A Twat

13. Owens, Bolt, Coe.

Olympic Runners - The Bitch

12. In every naff supergroup, there is something special.

FFS - Piss Off

11. Banish woke pish! (That sentiment seems a little muddled, if you ask me.)

"Banish woke pish!" was an anagram.

Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

10. Under Milk Wood fish-head nibbler...

Named after a character in the Dylan Thomas play, describe as a "fish-head nibbler"...

Lord Cut-Glass - Holy Fuck!

9. Upset the Wimbledon AI this year.

Bloody ball boys!

Ballboy - You Can't Spend Your Whole Life Hanging Around With Arseholes

Or...

Ballboy -  All the Records on the Radio are Shite

8. Nigel Planer was one.

Nigel Planer was Neil, in the Young Ones.

Neil Young - Piece Of Crap

7. Wine house located near oil platform.

Amy (Winehouse) by (the) rig...

Amy Rigby - Balls

6. Follow up to a Nirvana LP.

The most famous Nirvana LP was Nevermind...

The Buzzcocks - Oh Shit!

5. Bony protection for a glowing heart.

Shinyribs - Shitty Music

Bang up to date, that one. It only came out a couple of weeks ago.

4. Found in a fathead, and in a vigil, moreover. 

Found in a fathead, and in a vigil moreover. 

Thea Gilmore - That's Love, Motherfucker

3. Stand ins on the stairs.

The Replacements - Bastards Of Young

2. One of our gang, War's Rider, a shaky door. 

C is one of our gang. War sang about a Low Rider. Shaky sang about a Green Door.

Ceelo Green - Fuck You

1. Do you crave Jock, sir? I bet you do, in a way.


"Crave Jock, sir" was a particularly puerile (but rather apt) anagram... and no swear words in the title? Must be some mistake...

Jarvis Cocker - Running The World

Wash your mouths out with soap and water, then join me back here for more Snapshots next Saturday...

  1. Should have got 9 as I have both those songs. Would never have got 10, and still believe the only fish head cultural reference anyone needs is Barnes & Barnes:

    1. PS Thank you, of course. Very rude of me to forget.

      Delete
  2. Thank you Rol. Funnily enough it was Neil Young's 'Fucking Up' I was thinking of which helped me get the answer, not even the one you picked!
