Oooooh, good one!

They're Germanic wannabes whose country sounds like it should have kangaroos but doesn't.

I think you'd make a much more convincing German than me.

You probably need to stay away from the whimsy thread for a bit.

Back to the "Canada is the Land of Painful Earnestness" thread.

Can't be duller than the baseball thread.

Also,

Betty Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes
Tom Waits for No One - Rolling Stones

Tut tut. Bette.

Yeah, well, at least I got a valid top 5 unlike that Austrophobe Medulla.

Just out of curiosity, does Ziggy Stardust count?

Alter ego or I go.

[Toppers Boppers]

1. God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols
2. The Sound Of The Suburbs - The Members
3. Prince Of The Punks - The Kinks
4. Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury & The Blockeheads
5. King's Lead Hat* - Brian Eno

* if anagrams are banned ...

5. The Big Country - Talking Heads

I'm self-correcting mine before Marky gets wind of it...

1. Shatner - The Wedding Present (evidenced for any doubters)
2. Bay City Rollers, We Love You - The Tartan Horde (aka Nick Lowe)
3. Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder
4. Song For Bob Dylan - David Bowie
5. Buddy Holly - Weezer

I always enjoy any song by Anna Gram.

Her digital recordings are way better than Anna Logue.

Her cousin Anna Glypta used to be a great producer but these days she just papers over the cracks.

I asked Ann Chovie earlier, we don't think that's sustainable.

[Dr. Medulla]

Vince White’s White Power Power Trio, “We Are the Clash”
The Jazz Butcher, “Southern Mark Smith”
The House of Love, “Beatles & the Stones”
Sparks, “Lighten Up, Morrissey”
Prince, “Kiss” [prove me wrong, children, prove me wrong]

Top 5 songs that feature another musical artist in the title. So The Clash singing about The Clash is not another musical artist. Hence no one picked "Clash City Rockers".

The band that sang "We Are the Clash" was in no meaningful way The Clash. I will fight you and anyone else on this point until the earth is soaked with blood.

It said The Clash on the box.

The credits said a whole lot of stuff that wasn't true.
