    Puzzle Song (24)
  • Chris · 1 year ago
    The Puzzle Song must be Marie Provost by Nick Lowe: "Dachshund devours actress". Now I'll listen to the missing songs and fail to recognise any of them as usual
  • Old_Davy · 1 year ago
    I think Chris is right. Do I score a 1/2 point for getting Nick Lowe? :-)
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I was impressed that you got Nick Lowe from that little snippet, even if not quite nailing the right song.
  • Old_Davy · 1 year ago
    The multi-layers of gorgeous acoustic guitars gave it away. Nobody else records acoustic guitars quite like Nick Lowe.

    23 Step Right Up - Tom Waits Ken/Gaper's Blog)
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Chris has it! And has the clue right, too. Nick Lowe's grisly "Marie Provost", from his great, recently enhanced debut album Jesus of Cool.

    Old Davy came close.

    Lowe got the actress's name wrong, by the way; she was Marie Prevost. And she was from Ontario, Denver, and Los Angeles, so probably didn't speak with a Bronx accent, as Chuck Palahniuk has it in Snuff, and it was alcoholism, eating disorders, and depression that killed her career, not the advent of the talkies. She did have her arms and legs chewed up by her poor dog, though.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    "Step Right Up" by Tom Waits is correct. (I thought that would be one of the first ones guessed.)
  • southed · 1 year ago
    Is #21 "Even The Nights Are Better" by Air Supply?
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    "Even the Nights Are Better" by Air Supply is correct.

    13. "Only Women Bleed" - Alice Cooper
  • magkfingrs · 1 year ago
    #1 Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor?
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Correct:
    13 - Only Women Bleed - Alice Cooper

    Half-correct:
    1 - Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor
    9 - Dear Prudence

    Need the artist for both of these (this version of "Dear Prudence" is neither the Beatles' nor Siouxsie's).
  • M. · 1 year ago
    1 . "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor" Lonnie Donegan
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Lonnie Donegan is correct.
  • Al · 1 year ago
    #9 Dear Prudence by Indecision

    It's not Indecision either. This version of "Dear Prudence" was a hit single.

    #9 Dear Prudence by Lisa Lauren
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Not Lisa Lauren.

  • volley · 1 year ago
    #9 The Five Stairsteps - Dear Prudence backed the hit single Ooh Child in 1970
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    "Dear Prudence" by the Five Stairsteps and Cubie is correct.
