Snapshots #371 - A Top Fifteen Songs About Film Stars (By Other Names)

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...

6. Carson pulled a few.

"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...

Suede - Filmstar


You're nominated for another starring role next Saturday...

Snapshots #343: A Top Ten Songs With French Titles

French actress Catherine Deneuve welcomes you to ten songs with French titles. She will provide the translations, since I gave up French in the Third Year...


10. Lucky x 4.


She should be so lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky.


"I do not know why" Kylie was always so lucky.

9. Puppy Love for Shakespearean wife.


Donny Osmond sang Puppy Love. Shakespeare's wife was Anne Hathaway.

"I love you," Donny.

8. Big end.


That would be one Mega Death.


"To everybody", from Megadeth.

7. One quarter committed. 

A quarter is 25%. If you're committed, you are sectioned.

Section 25 - Je Veux Ton Amour

"I want your love", but not your money, honey.

6. I'd like a picture of the Empire State Building on my T-shirt, please.


Can you do me a Manhattan transfer?


"Love Song..." a ratty tatty tat.

5. Mr. Rigby. 


Amy Rigby is his better half.


Did you "Recognise, honey...?" 

4. Psychics look for the answer within.


Psychics...


Not much to translate there... "the freak".

3. Gav - accept Elmo, then we can undo this puzzle.


"Gav - accept Elmo" was an anagram...


Google translate tells me that the translation of that whole phrase is "preppy"... or "good style, good gender", one word at a time.

2. Look at me, I'm on half a Hawaiian beach. 


Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, from Waikiki...


Were you "in love" with Kiki?

1. Good looking bloke with hazel peepers.


He's a brown-eyed, handsome man... with very recognisable feet.

"That's life"... it goes to show, you never can tell.

Chuck Berry - C'est La Vie

Les instantanés seront de retour Samedi prochain...
