Heidi Hi, campers!
Welcome back to this week's Snapshots –
songs about underwear! Ms. Klum is famous for walking about in her skivvies,
though she did agree to keep her kit on for propriety’s sake. It was either her
or Biggie Smalls…
15. Crazy, Hippy Lit.
Crazy Chick was a song by Charlotte Church. Hippychick by Soho. And Chick Lit by We Are Scientists.
The
Chicks - Tights On My Boat
14. Tanya Donnelly. (Donelly. Donnelly. Donnelly.)
Tanya Donnelly was the lead singer of Belly. (Belly. Belly. Belly.)

Waits - Pasties And A G-String
12. Chinese troops in a skirmish.

11. When it comes to not throwing stones, these guys are the rulers.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones… but imagine
you lived in a Crystal Castle?

10. Sounds like a Yes Man to me.
His namesake is Jon Anderson from Yes.

The
Kinks - Mick Avory's Underpants
Yeah, OK, it’s only an instrumental – but you find a song
with underpants in the title!
5. Most stories contain one - Add Me On Snapchat!
Most sTORIes. The Snapchat thing is an acronym that the
young people use. Apparently.
Tori
Amos - The Power of Orange Knickers
4. May, Kennedy and Wilson, like the cattle.
Three Bri/yans and Highland Cattle.

And yes, Ashley has some help on that track… but how long do
you want my clues to get?
1. REM's 11th album gets a mixed response.
REM’s 11th was the LP UP. Anagram!
Pulp - Underwear
Thank you Rol. And thank you also for not including 'The Thong Song'. Of corsets possible there are worse songs out there but I've not heard them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Thong Song would have given it away. I'm not sure Sisqo had any more records. (I hope not, anyway.)
DeleteGreat puzzle as ever. One point of contention, pantyhose and stockings are essentially hosiery and I don't think you'd have much luck throwing them on a Tom Jones stage - they'd just flutter about in the air and then float back down onto the head of the person in front of you (not that I've tried it of course).
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - I can't get that image out of my mind now, Alyson. The only way it would work is if you were to bunch them up into a very tight secure ball, then you could really throw them at him, but they'd probably just bounce back anyway.
DeleteTights. The least sexy item of clothing ever designed!
DeleteI'm not an expert but I would have thought most underwear would also be too light and not aerodynamic enough to travel any distance, not just hosiery. I assume the ladies who used to throw their undergarments at Tom made sure they were right down at the front before doing so.
DeleteI think you're right, Ernie. The only undergarment I can think of that might stand a chance of reaching the stage from further back would be an underwired bra - you could spin it around your head first like a lasso for some momentum to propel it the required distance. Bit of a bugger to get off from under your dress or top, though.
DeleteProbably right Ernie, but not half as difficult as hosiery which would just flutter about, legs all over the place.
DeleteNot a bugger at all C, my party trick for year was to remove my bra from under a polo neck without taking it off. You need the jumper to have quite baggy sleeves though!
Ooh, Alyson, you little minx! :-)
DeleteWell, I certainly never expected this level of debate.
DeleteAnd thank you Rol, another great Snapshots that got our knickers in a twist.
