Snapshots #469: Songs For People Whose Name Begins With F


F---, me? As each of these people might have said, given that their names all begin with F. The people in the songs, that is, not the singers.

Lotti Golden - Gonna Fay's

13. It's a bit of a squeeze for this guitarist.


He was the guitarist in Orange Juice, and the man who wrote one of their best songs...

James Kirk - Felicity

12. Initially German borders.

Lead singer of the Hold Steady, though he's arguably even better as a solo act...


3. Percy's nun.


Percy Sledge, that is.

1. This here logic game is all screwed up.


"Here logic game" was an anagram.


There's no F in Saturday Snapshots. But there will be next Saturday...
