Snapshots #254: A Top Ten Salt & Pepper Songs

This is Anthony Kiedis. He's a Red Hot Chilli Pepper. Unfortunately, he doesn't sing any songs about Salt or Peppers, so I can't play any tunes by him. Also, I prefer Flea. He was in Back To The Future, at least.

Ten songs to sprinkle on your chips...

10. Unknown corpse.

That would be a John Doe. As in the former lead singer of the US punk band X, now trading in slightly less rowdy Americana...

John Doe - Grain Of Salt

9. Red, orange, yellow, green, Sandra Denton.

All different colours of peppers... along with Sandra Denton, aka Pepa from Salt n Pepa. Get up on this!

These guys, on the other had, were French Peppers. 

The Peppers - Pepper Box 

8. Mr. Raoul Chop.

Anagram!

Procol Harum - A Salty Dog

7. Edward Kennedy: neither thin nor white... and certainly not a cowboy.

4. Son of a passenger.

One of the passengers in the car above had a son...

Julian Lennon - Saltwater

3. What if the Beach Boys were a bunch of arses?

The Butthole Surfers - Pepper

Despite the dubious band name, this is a better song than the Red Hot Chilli Peppers ever managed to put out. Although it does owe a little debt to The Jim Carroll Band.

2. The answer is seen in each effort he makes.

"each effort". Chef from South Park, as voiced by Isaac Hayes, and his Number One hit...

Chef- Chocolate Salty Balls

1. Richy Rap? Nah.

Anagram!

And the only song I know that features both Salt and Pepper...

By The Way... Snapshots will be back next Saturday.
