[Music] Pop Lyric Rhyme Picture Quiz

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Elsie Tanner, the actual Elsie who Costello indicated the girl being called Natasha looked like.

I even used a dancing queen to make it absolutely obvious.

Yes I knew the Elsie Tanner reference - I probably know more about Corrie from that era than any other! I also love Costello’s lyrics which helped

A whisky drink
A vodka drink
Lager drink
Cider drink

Tubthumping by chumbawamba

I'm not sure that drink, drink drink, drink counts as rhyming, but Geezer Butler got away with masses and masses.

Yep, it's stately home, rather than country, but you have the right song: Sunny Afternoon. Well done.

Did anyone ever get number 2?

I’m as serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer

Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap

@Godstar got the line, but didn't write the title. No. 7 is the only one of the first ten nobody has guessed yet.

Yep, 'Born to Run', the live version charted later.

I'm thinking this may be a Squeeze song, that speaks of poodles, but if I'm right, they'd be the other way around.

'Labelled with Love' but it's not that.

My brain says I know the song, but I can't place it.

 

[Midget]

Fun quiz @Stato , thank you!

I can't work out who the person is. I want to say Quentin Crisp, but it's probably not.

I can't seem to solve a single one

I'm enjoying setting ones up though.

It's Steve Strange. @Is it PotG? guessed a song with the correct two words, but this song has them the other way around.

 

[Midget]

Ok I'm going to try a couple.

Midget 1) 1967 track from an album that only peaked at no. 43... but more well known than that would suggest...

Midget 2) 1984 single that reached no. 10:

 

[Midget]

Oh and the "penny" just dropped on no. 7!

Yes, you're right.

And the banker never wears a Mac in the pouring rain,
Very strange.

Is he all dressed in black?

 

[Midget]

Is he all dressed in black?

He certainly is... I'm waiting for the man, Velvet Underground.

I may have had a kiss this guy moment, I thought it was "beat up shoes" but now I'm checking, I see it quoted as "PR shoes". I am really not having a good night with lyrics

Love your interpretation of giving your face a rest but as you say, it's not...
