A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course... unless that horse is a singer-songwriter horse...
Here are some more horsey songs...
15. A Jug with a Stone on it.
A Toby Jug with added Keef.
Willie Nelson also appears on this tune, but you all know what he looks like.
Toby Keith & Willie Nelson - Beer For My Horses
14. Electric can opener?
Bowie: the Wilderness Years.
13. Emergency response team.
12. Bloke on the Steps takes a number of high jumps on his skateboard.
The bloke from Steps was H. Skateboard jumps are known as Ollies. Put them together and what have you got...?
Originally I had America, Horse With No Name, in this spot. But you guys are far too smart for that.
11. Came through extremely difficult circumstances - without a Mark on him.
He was in Dire Straits. But he's not Mark.
David Knopfler - Rocking Horse Love
10. ICE out! No border patrol needed here.
Calexico is a border town where the SS do a lot of work.
9. Harold! That's a nice nose, did you...?
Harold Wilson? Did you pick it yourself?
Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally
8. Armless Adrian can still get in an altercation.
"Armless Adrian" was an anagram.
7. Get up, everybody, and sing!
Lyrics from We Are Family.
6. Gave up on his PhD.
He was in PhD... then he let them down and went solo. They should have known better.
5. Arctic Alex, on the back of a bike.
You may see that billed as Ike & Tina Turner, but I can't find much evidence of Tina on there... unless she's playing the cowbell.
4. I'd be lucky to afford a deck chair.
3. Clearly they're not a Sisterhood.
2. When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.
That is the open line of John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids.
1. Who's going to pay Cinderella's bail after this mix-up?
"Cinderella's bail" was an anagram.
Belinda Carlisle - Runaway Horses
Those are your runners and riders - congratulations if you made it past the post.
