Let there be answers!
(I'm not going to ask you for the artist & song of the photo above. You'll all obviously have
that one in your collections.)
Congrats to everyone who took part and identified a correct tune. I think we can all agree that this week's winners are Brian and his better half.
10. A Munster, wearing a white hat, on the canal...
Eddie Munster.
The canal / white hat = Panama.
Well done, Brian.
Van Halen - Panama
9. There's no doubt husband #7 left Steve a $6 million answerphone message.
A tough one, but it's all there in the clues.
No Doubt = Gwen Stefani.
Her husband (at the moment) is Blake Shelton. (Blake's 7?)
$6 million dollar Steve? Austin. The Bionic Man, of course.
The answerphone message? Listen to the damn song! It's a real tearjerker...
Blake Shelton - Austin
Score #1 for Mrs. Brian.
8. The queen gives a haircut so good, it'll make you weak.
Gave Chris no problems at all.
The Queen = Regina.
Who had a haircut that made him weak?
Regina Spektor - Samson
7. A big, depressed train from the U.S.
Big = grand.
If you're depressed, you're in a funk.
Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band
Score two for Mrs. Brian.
6. A moron in comfy shoes wishes his girlfriend was psychic.
Gordon is a moron, according to Jilted John.
Comfy shoes = Lightfoot.
Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind
Score three for Mrs. Brian.
5. All sad tales start with a big baby crying.
A big baby crying = The Mighty Wah!
A sad tale?
The Mighty Wah! - The Story of the Blues
A combined effort from Brian & Charity Chic.
4. Elvis in his underwear does what Gordon Sumner only pretended he could.
Probably the easiest one this week, if you knew the song. Brian snapped this one up straight away.
Do I need to explain that Jellyfish sting?
Jellyfish - The King Is Half Undressed
3. How far would Tom & Bob run to see this band, mate?
Apologies to Brian, I should have gone with an international clue about Burt Reynolds... I'll try to remember that in future. Charity Chic helped out here too.
Tommy Cannon & Bobby Ball.
Cannonball Run.
Mate = breed.
The Breeders - Cannonball
2. It's agony for a female Flintstone, listening to Andrew's Wax.
A female Flinstone might be called Freda.
Agony = Payne.
Andrew Gold's band (with Graham Gouldman) in the 80s was called Wax.
Freda Payne - Band of Gold
A last minute save from C: I thought I was going to win one!
I have to admit, I had to idea Freda Payne looked like that... or that she was such a martyr to her bad back.
1. Celebrating the fastest second place medal: he grows up to devour a plateful of Chrissie's finest.
If you won the fastest second place medal, you might get Quick-Silver... or Mercury.
Chrissie's finest = The Great Pretender, originally by The Platters (a plateful).
Well done to Alyson, even though she tried to talk herself out of it.
Freddie even did cover versions better than anybody else...

More next week. Probably.
After all, it is the 10th on Tuesday...
