Well done RollsRoyce  :clapping :clapping

Here's the lyrics.

don't care if monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It's friday i'm in love

Q7. Abbreviated suits = MGMT   (ManaGeMenT)

I've never heard of them.
BTW, if you're wondering how I got Tom Tom Club out of "abbreviated suits", well I was trying to think of bands with items of clothing in their name, and the best I could come up with was "Menswear", an obscure Britpop band from the '90's.
Then I thought, what if "suits" is a bit of a red herring. So I thought of playing cards suits, and hence "clubs", and Tom is an abbreviation of Thomas. Not bad huh? Now if only it had been correct :P

You probably would've heard MGMT's song KIDZ even as background music to the footy as they went to ad breaks. It's been a fairly heavily played song over the last 12 months.

Hey, does anybody know if it's possible to suggest a piece of music to the programmers at channel nine, or a contact number/e-mail if it is possible. I know a song that would be perfect for next summer's cricket telecast with a gnarly rock beat, and heaps of lyrics alluding to the great game. And it absolutely wouldn't be on their radar at all, because it's so obscure.
I kind of know the guitarist as well,so getting his permission to use it would be easy, and I'm sure he'd love the royalties...

Nup al. Definitely a fruit and yes think banana.

1. Black Flag? (well that's "half" black and white)
2. Banana Splits?
3. Seal?

These "new" clues are suspiciously like the old ones  :lol

Okay more clues:

2. banana is the fruit .... think 80s ..... I'm practically giving the answer here  :wallywink
3. What do you seal over?

I'll say "Bananarama" for question two.

Cheers RR. Speaking of the Floyd I stumbled over an old interview from the 60s on youtube where the interviewer was complaining to Roger Waters and the late Syd Barrett  :( that their music was too loud and he doesn't like loud music  :lol.

Sorry MT, wrong on all counts (although you are on the right track with Q3. in terms of both WW1 imagery, and the vintage of the band in question.)
Also, I should add that question 5 is a solo artist, not a band, and that he produced Q6's first album.
As for Syd Barrett,there's a cover story with a cd of artists covering his songs in an upcoming issue of MOJO (my bible). Airfreight copies are already available here, but they're a bit pricier. I love Syd. His work with the Floyd (Arnold Layne) and solo (Gigolo Aunts) is really the biz.

Lucifer Sam is my favourite song of Syd's.

Nah my fault as I wasn't considering the word sounded like an olympic event.

Btw Volta comes from Alessandro Volta who was an Italian physicist who researched electricity and batteries 200 years ago. The word Voltage comes from his name  ;).
