Pulp come from Sheffield which has given us many great bands over the years (shame about Def Leppard). A Sheffield band often overlooked are the Dylans whose best song was Godlike.

 

Obviously, the next person has to try and avoid the obvious link to Mr. Zimmerman.

 

rather than being a zimmerman, john is a scatman, a man who scats

 

 

this is Scatman John was Su Su Su Super Kirei

In the 1970s Scatman John provided voices of a few Hanna Barbera cartoon characters including Hong Kong Fuey.

 

This leads the chain onto .......

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES - Hong Kong Gardens

Adam Faith's song "what do you want if you dont want money", very apt as he became a financial journalist for the Daily Mail in the 1980's. Which leads us onto a song about making money

 

 

Pet Shop Boys.........................Opportunities( let's make lots of money)

Okay, following on from making money comes the inevitable ;)

 

 

Beatles - Taxman

'Taxman' by the Beatles was ripped off almost completely by The Jam for 'Start'.

 

So, um, 'Start' by The Jam.

 

Couple of pernickety things...it was Scatman Crowthers who did Hong Kong Phooey and just wanted to express my delight at seeing The Dylans mentioned on Buzzjack :D

The band Blur come from the town of Colchester as did Darren Day, Mary Whitehouse, Margaret Thatcher and a certain Mr Jay Kay aka......

Jamiroquai is an acid jazz-funkerteer therefore evil :lol:

 

incognito first charted album was called 'Jazz Funk' and had a single called Parisenne Girl

 

rather than a Parisienne Girl we have one of the most famous and popular Parisian dudes.

 

Serge Gainsboug was born in Paris as Lucien Ginzburg and can be found in some jazz encyclopedias. this is Initials BB

 

 

 

btw Scatman Crothers was Hong Kong phooey not scatman john, scating is a popular jazz style of expressive singing amongst other things :lol: :lol: :lol:

also see Scooby Doo as 'Strangers in the night, Exchanging glances, Lovers at first sight, What were the chances, Scoobydoobydoo' etc etc

The initials BB are generally associated with Brigitte Bardot. However, they are also the initials of Bernard Butler. So,

 

McAlmont and Butler - Yes

McAlmont and Butler could be mistaken for a popular brand of smokes

 

with the smoking ban coming into force think its time for Smoke City - Mr Gorgeous and Miss Curvaceous

 

 

 

At least you didn't take the obvious Jon Anderson route.

 

I've never heard of Smoke City so I'll have to use the song title. Mr. Gorgeous is a title which could be claimed by Brandon Flowers. The Killers were named after a band in the video for New Order's Crystal. This was released in 2001 and is therefore too recent. So,

 

New Order - Blue Monday

Going down the drain, in a phrase used for things going wrong. Another word to describe things going wrong is a disaster.

 

So lets have...

 

Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941

Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941

 

the bee gees are famous for having very high voices and storming off chat shows after not getting clive anderson's jokes

 

so from there we have storm - storm animal

Tokyo Ghetto Pussy - I Kiss Your Lips

If you are in a Tokyo Ghetto, then you are likely to be in.......

 

Japan - Life In Tokyo

this video featuring David Sylvian and this Propaganda video, neither were directed by Anton Corbijn :lol:

 

 

Dr Mabuse (other version)

 

 

 

  • Author

Dr. Mabuse is a fictional character created by a European Norbert Jacques which was in turn utilised in a movie.

 

Another famous Dr. fictional character based on the French Barbarella comic book created by Jean-Claude Forest is Dr. Duran(d) Duran(d).

 

Hence we have to have.........

Duran Duran - Serious (1990)

 

Duran Duran was a character in Barbarella and so was Professor Ping as played by Marcel Marceau so, and just because I know everyone loves them, lets have, once again, Sultans of Ping FC...

 

Only this time with 'U Talk 2 Much'.

Excellent choice!

 

You Talk Too Much was the Sultans of Ping FC's only Top 40 hit. :( The single before it was Veronica. Only one other song called Veronica has charted.

 

Elvis Costello - Veronica
