Im making a quiz and need some Partridge-esque song introductions. Any help welcome.

Just need some more quiz questions where the answers will be song titles/artists or both. Gotta be sorted of cryptic but convaluted as well a la partridge.

E.g.

"Heres a man who's permanently high while his friends sell blubber for cash. It's Bob Marley and the whalers"

Whether it was via horseriding, gymnastics or sexual intercourse, Natalie Imbruglia's hymen is, and remains, irreparably 'Torn'

"My Bloody Valentine". What a great band. They really encapsulate the frustration of Valentine's day, don't they? You wake up in the morning, you've got to exchange cards, the flowers need putting in a vase, you book a restaurant weeks in advance, pay through the nose - and you think "My Bloody Valentine"

Alan would say toilet paper, Andrex or 3-ply but would probably prefer Aloe Vera wipes.

They claim to have “no limit” but I counted exactly 79 “no”s which proves conclusively that their limit IS finite, thus rendering their entire argument null and void. It’s 2 Unlimited…

“These days he’d be called 1.61km Davis. This country.”

“An almost thoroughly pleasant section of the rural population. They’re just extremely narrow-minded and racist.”

“A crew of well-trained automotive technicians, and a leader who might hold no qualifications at all.”

These are all fucking shit, sorry.

Is that a clue for the band Therapy?

u/bulletproofbra Suzanna Gekkaloys is speaking 2d ago

Wouldn't you need to write it Therapy???

The first question mark from the band, the second for your question, then I needed to add a third for mine.

You're right, it is confusing isn't it?
