Theme 439 - 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of the National Gallery, so songs about art; can be the name of a painting, or an artist's name, or simply themed around the subject - Tim - VOTING- closed MIDNIGHT Sunday November 4th

[Val]

Tim is casting the net wide asking for any songs about art: the name of a painting or an artist or just about art in general.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 440 - Wildcard Round 19
Theme 441 - The paper bit in the middle - two songs from a particular record label, not a gigantic major, but ones including those which began as Indies and grew large (eg, Island, Atlantic, Virgin, Motown), imprints set up by majors for a specific music genre (eg, Harvest, Vertigo), vanity labels that put out records by artists other than the ones behind the imprint (eg, Apple, Manticore), classic old school Indies (eg, Sun, Stax, Immediate, Trojan), newer Indies (eg, Rough Trade, Small Wonder, Subpop, Third Man, Sympathy For The Record Industry, and a host of others) - Tim
Theme 442 - "Killer Tunes" -Songs with Kill, Killed, Killing, Killer in the title - Collette
Theme 443 - The Sky's the limit - songs with the word Sky/Skies in the title or the band name - Brass Neck
Theme 444 - Location! Location! Location! - Song titles containing any of the words Under/Over/Between/Next/By/Inside/Outside/Below/Above/Beneath.
Must refer to a location or position, for example "By the tree" is good, "By The Time" is not good. - SussexWelsh

Just a note for anyone who's stuck. I'll allow other forms of visual art including sculpture (not film, literature or the like though).

I'm not changing mine but just had a lightbulb moment of a couple of tracks by a British painter/musician who (whom?) I'm sure Sera put me on to many themes ago.

Another one done. I think I've got it right, a tie for first place between Jemma (Roxy Music) and Jim (10cc) - both with 20 votes. In second place is Jemma with 13 votes for Status Quo and third goes to Tim with 12 votes for David Bowie.

Helen scores an undeserved wooden spoon for Manic Street Preachers.
