Probably a complete shot in the dark but for some reason I'm drawn towards Hitchcock intuitively.

(view spoiler)
Human Torn
We Are the Champions
Baby One More Time
Careless Whisper
Eternal Flame
Big hint: (view spoiler)
Well done, Handybird. I had never heard of him, although it seems he's well known and has done a lot of quality TV. TB, you must have thought the game was up when Martin happened upon Marcel Marceau :) BTW, I like your hidden spoilers idea.
floor?dance floor
ground floor
floor-spin (a dance move apparently)
doctor?Family doctor
Flying doctor
Spin doctor
Who's the classical composer?
Haydn3 of his ‘Paris’ symphonies:
‘The Bear’
‘The Hen’
‘La Reine’
Teensy bit specialised, TB!!
Correct Lez - your go!(but I would simply have accepted Haydn symphonies)
Ring Of Bright Water - Val DoonicanDon’t Act Like A Stranger - Cathedrals
Why You Play On Me? - Block & Crown
Back to basics with a word one.
Sure is. The new blood has sharpened our brains! All yours.
Thanks Lez. Another traditional one:You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive
Way Down in the Hole - The Blind Boys of Alabama
Walk on Water - Thirty Seconds to Mars
drunk?dead drunk
blind drunk
drunk on water (hyperhydration also called water intoxication)
Not drunk, Mr T. One link, and another contained in your guess.
side?side-spin
(to) blindside
waterside
You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) - Dead or AliveWay Down in the Hole - The Blind Boys of Alabama
Walk on Water - Thirty Seconds to Mars
time?dead time
downtime
on time
According to my logic, this is what we have so far:You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive
Walk on Water - Thirty Seconds to Mars

Your guess of 'line' could be correct, but only if post 451 has incomplete information!
Let's see what nc says!
Hi guys, been out listening to some very fine live music.It's not 'line', HB, and you have - you guessed it- 2 links.
Let's try play.play dead
playboys
play on
No, sory, not playboys. You still have two linksHB wasn't a million miles away with his guess at 455.
rat or rabbitdead rat
dead rabbit
rat hole
rabbit hole
(to) rat on (someone)
(to) rabbit on
You have three links now, but not my word.
I kind of knew that ;-)So the three words to link are:
dead
hole
on
That's it, Handybird. I was hoping for Bolton, but would have accepted bolt -on, and you offered both!
Thanks HB :-) Not classical this time. Name the band (and list the tracks).
.
.
The tracks are:I Don't Want Your Shitty Presents
I'm Not Going Out in That
Help, My Cave's on Fire
Fuck Off I'm Trying to Sleep
Don't know the band though.
Haha! :-D
Name the band (and list the tracks)...

I can’t do picture clues, brain’s wrongly wired 🤔😳(Noticed the errant apostrophe though) 😡
Lez wrote: "(Noticed the errant apostrophe though) 😡"Same here. It was the most apt drawing though - and it's got words!
If everyone stays stuck, I'll start giving hints.
nocheese wrote: "You got the last one."Yeah, they were straight pics though, no interpretation needed, and a subject I happen to know.
The Bangles?The only Bangles songs I can think of are 'Manic Monday' and 'Walk Like an Egyptian', both of which I can see here.
..OK quick Google yields: 'If She Knew What She wanted'/'Everything I wanted; 'Hazy Shade of Winter'; 'Eternal Flame'; In Your Room.
Correct!I'd like the other tracks though. Two very well-known, two maybe not so much.

Just posted.
I won't have time to set another one today, so if anyone else wants to do the honours, please be my guest.
A couple of notes.1. The original but ungrammatical* first title is If she knew what she wants (he'd be giving it to her)
2. The fiery cave contains a true 'eternal' flame. There's an escape of natural gas under a waterfall quite near to Niagara. Eternal Flame Falls
* I find this interesting. "if she knew" requires the past subjunctive. However it's not clear to me that that requires "wants" to be past tense. Wouldn't that be an example of hypercorrection?
If she’d known what she’d be wanting, he’d be giving it to her.If she knows what she wants, he’ll be giving it to her.
If she knew then what she would want now, he’d be giving it to her.
They all sound a bit clumsy. As the Irish saying goes, “I wouldn’t start from here”
I take your point. I could argue the case but perhaps this isn't the forum. I think I might take it up on https://forum.wordreference.com/forum...
:-)
