BOOKS MOVIES AND SONGS ALPHABET

[CWO3ROBBIE]

Guess the movie,book or song using the hints given in the preceding post.

Then put up hints about a book, movie or song.

Make them as explicit or obscure as you want.

This can be pictures, quotes, discriptions, or video clips.

 

The name or title of the subject you provide hints about must start with the letter of the alphabet which follows the first letter of the subject that you have identified. When we reach the end of the alphabet we start over with "A"

 

EXAMPLE: HINT: "Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn". 

ANSWER:

Movie; "Gone with the Wind" (starts with a G)

 

NEXT HINT: The bellhop's dressed in black.

 

ANSWER: SONG; "Heartbreak Hotel" (starts with a H)

 

I'll start it off. The answer to this one has to start with an "A". 

 

Hint: Down the Rabbit Hole"

As there is a huge gaping hole in my "New Romantic" expertise (A hole of which I'm rather proud, actually), I'll take a pass on this one.

And here I am thinking you were a Miss Manners Charm School graduate.

Answer is XTC Versus Adam Ant by They Might Be Giants.

[Snagg]

Oh, THAT "X" song.

I misunderstood your clues. I thought you were referring to a "song" that somehow manages to be both pompous AND dreary, spewed out by a gaggle of preening, over-mascara'd, Oscar Wilde-envying dolts, attempting their lame idea of what it would have sounded like if the Fab Four had come from Birmingham instead of Liverpool - And had absolutely no talent, either. My mistake.
