It's a rather cumbersome title to this week's quiz... but I'm sure you all know what I mean.
Here are fifteen songs about what Ray Davies called Celluloid Heroes...
15. He allowed Zoe to get all messed up.
"He allowed Zoe" was an anagram...
Lee Hazlewood - The Performer
14. Invisible violet growing in the mountains.
If violet is invisible, it's ultraviolet. Montane means, "of or inhabiting mountainous country".
The Ultra Montanes - Aging Starlet
13. Birmingham City are a temperamental bunch.
Birmingham City are the Blues, or so I'm told.
The Moody Blues - The Actor
12. Found in Labradors and just outside Glasgow.
LaBRADors from Paisley.
Brad Paisley - Celebrity
11. Get high in a South End amusement park.
Kursaal Flyers - The Great Artiste
10. Frizzy.
That's not how I'd spell "idol", but the song fits.
9. Paranoid, like a pig.
Marvin was paranoid. Like a pig could be Ham-lish.
8. Secret panther is well hidden.
"Secret panther" is an anagram...
7. Elaborately ornamental furnishings.
I included that one just for George.
Because it's prog! No other reason...
"That's a cracker," said Frank Carson. Not Johnny.
5. Once had to deal with a sneezing baby, a broken toaster and a burnt soufflé, all in the same day.
Those are the lyrics of Coming Around Again. This is a lesser known offering...
4. How much do you want for this commotion?
Name your Price for Lloyd (Cole).
3. Michael and Marti's rat meets #4's Stagger.
Michael and Marti both sang about Ben, the rat. Lloyd Price sang about Stagger Lee.
2. LGBTQ party doesn't get a passing grade.
The LGBTQ party, so I'm reliably informed, would be a Kiki. D is not a pass.
1. Pursue Dean Martin to find the answer.
Pursue Dean Martin...
You're nominated for another starring role next Saturday...
