MORE SORE THUMBS Part 1 - the 60s I'm compiling a list of 'unusual words in the lyrics of Number 1 hit songs'. You can find the first part here, with new clues, and the 1960s part below, with the song-title answers for both at the end of the August 02 archive. These are tough, so I've added clues in brackets. So which 60s No 1s include the words... 1 socks (CLUE: holy socks?) 2 merry-go-round* (no socks!) 3 lulu (beach babe) 4 playmate* (on a horse) 5 Clyde (Middle Eastern reggae) 6 snitch (Mersey bribing) 7 seasick (with all those virgins) 8 paraffin* (death of a Scouse chemist) 9 farmyard (cock rock?) 10 embassy (Euro chic) 11 acorns (talking bagism) 12 tavern (getting nostalgic) Well done if you get five or more. The * ones may not be so familiar outside the UK. Look out for 70s, 80s and 90s soon. |
