Crikey.  Not sure who got that in the end.  Probably Smudge, though Pingu got the farmyard connection, and M le Maire got the Little Red Rooster*

I only got it after Pingu made it easy by revealing the theme, so he deserves the point.

;D I enjoyed throwing that one in.  I was tempted by Paddy Roberts' Awful Lot of Bull, but Tommy edged it.  And, were it not for the awe in which I hold Willie Dixon, Jake Thackray's Bantam Cock would have forced its way in.

For U2 we've got a day of the year not a weekday, which all the others had.  Is there another candidate, do you think?

Mother Superior jump the gun was a Beatles lyric, but Mother Teresa? ???

Sounds like someone trying a bit too hard to be transgressive, so I think something a bit post-punk.

Or what about Happy Mondays/Black Grape?

What by who? ???

I know Phonebooth by the delectable Robert Cray, but I fancy it's a rather different song ;D

You seem very sure, but I'm going for another punt with my first hunch - early Adam & the Ants?
