Charles, Charlie, Chuck... there was only one man to illustrate this week's name: Charles Edward Anderson Berry.
I don't have time to list all the other famous musical Charlies in my collection, but I'm sure you know who most of them are... and you spotted quite a few yourselves.
Another duo is Charles and Eddie who it seems were at the No. 1 spot when I was on my honeymoon in 1992 with Would I Lie To You. Bit of trivia: They performed the song at Bill Clinton's inaugural ball in 1993, which was ironic considering the pickle Bill found himself in down the line re Ms Lewinsky.
All hail the return of Douglas McLaren from the snowy wastes of Canada! Welcome back, Douglas...
From my personal favourites of all time, the Trash Can Sinatras (or if you prefer to be up with the times, Trashcan Sinatras), there is an obscure b-side in the back catalogue entitled "Charlie's Atlas", with deliciously satirical lyrics full of their usual brand of wordplay and cutting linguistic cunning.
My name's Aaron Hers is Betty Our boy is a Charlie, so the neighbors sing "hooray for ABC" ABC forever, each endeavour that I do, I do to keep together A+B+C
Acid House was never my bag, so if you're going to make an acid house record that I'll listen to more than once, a good idea would be to sample one of my favourite public information films from the 70s.
Well done to Rigid Digit for guessing this one would be in the Top Ten.
C added: Argh, I can't believe I forgot Charlie by Split Enz; we've been on a bit of a Split Enz fest in this house lately! (I have developed something of a crush on Noel Crombie - who doesn't like a man who can play the spoons?!)
Jim returned: You can't go wrong with Split Enz, always preferred them to Crowded House, some of those 70's video were brilliant, enjoy your Enz Fest :-)
The (more or less) title track of their 2008 album. A fine slice American indie folk which may go over well with some ears around here if any are not familiar with it.
It was written by Lieber and Stoller and I've just discovered the first song they wrote, called Hard Times, was recorded by an artist called Charles Brown - not sure if that's just a coincidence or not.
Now I have to admit that I was never a fan of the Charlie Brown cartoons. He always seemed a miserable little sod. (Too close to home, perhaps?) But I do love this track.
If your relationship with Saturday Snapshots is a Love Story - then You Belong With Me.
Martin returned to the game this week and stole a victory from early birds Alyson & Charity Chic, who spent most of their time arguing over how to spell Labi Siffre. Chris remembered Nina Persson's other band, narrowly pipping Brian to the answer, who'd obviously had a very late night on Friday. Was that 1 a.m., Brian? You can still party like the young 'uns!
Lynchie has been missed these last few weeks though. Maybe he's got a Saturday morning paper round?
Shake It Off - it's time for this week's answers...
