Snapshots #273: A Top Ten Numbered Street Songs


Farewell also to Vivienne Westwood. You might argue she's not taking a snapshot in this picture... but she is driving a tank to David Cameron's house, so I think she wins.

Here are this week's answers... I would have said all the numbered streets were from New York, but at least one of them (Charles Wright's street) is from L.A. I checked, so you don't have to.


10. The Stones in 'Nam.

Hanoi Rocks - 11th Street Kidzz

9. Blokes curse.

Men Swear!

Menswear - 125 West 3rd Street

8. Heavily associated with management.

Don't mess with The Boss's wife.

Patti Scialfa - 23rd Street Lullaby

7. Sounds like he's still vain.

I always get him mixed up with David Sylvian. Except David Sylvian doesn't rhyme with "still vain".

Sylvain Sylvain - 14th Street Beat

6. The King isn't wrong when he questions this week's connection.

King Charles is Right when he asks What... well, you get the idea.

Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - The 103rd St. Theme

5. Law-breaking clowns.

Fun Lovin' Criminals - 10th Street

4. She: is a ninja!

"Is a ninja" is an anagram.

Janis Ian - 42nd St Psycho Blues

3. Where Weezer meets the Hurricanes.

The lead singer of Weezer is called Rivers Cuomo. If he met Johnny & The Hurricanes, we might be left with...

Johnny Rivers - Positively 4th Street

A Dylan song, obviously, but Bob appears here often enough.

2. Old Cricketer's a right weirdo.


Roy Harper sang about an old cricketer

Harper's Bizarre - 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)

A Simon & Garfunkel song, obviously, but Paul appears here often enough. Also, this was the version that made the UK Top 40 back in 1967. With a very young Boris Johnson in the band...

1. Bomb, by Wacko.


Anagram!


Happy New Year, everyone. Thanks for playing.
