Hello everyone, our company is trying to raise money for “red nose day” which is a charity event here in the UK. We have been sent 40 cryptic band names to decipher by the boss, the winner gets chocolate. Our department have paid our subs and worked out 36 of the 40, can anyone please help us get the last four and ace the competition? It works like this, the clue might be “Season Females” which becomes “The Spice Girls” ie. season like a spice and females like errm, a girl. The ones we are stuck on are:
Job on the side
Chocolate bar farrier
Frank Planet
Honey producer on ocean
[spoiler]A “job on the side” is commonly known as “Moonlighting” - there seem to be a number of bands by this name, don’t know if any of them are well-known enough for this purpose but it’s worth a try if you can’t think of anything better.
“Farrier” is another word for blacksmith, there is a band called “Blacksmith” but I can’t find any bands which are called “XXXXXX Blacksmith”, where “XXXXXX” is the name of a chocolate bar.
It seems there may be a band called “Candid Earth” which would fit for “Frank Planet”, but they don’t seem very well-known either - I was only able to find this link: http: //www.mp3unsigned.com/CandidEarth and I have no idea what that leads to as it was blocked at work.
As for the last one, “Bee” must be the honey producer, I would think, but don’t know what follows it. Sorry I can’t be more help, you’ve probably thought through all the above already![/spoiler]
Ninja’d by astorian on preview - at least I was on the right track with one of them!
Thank you so much for the help everyone. We had to hand in the answers by end of business so we put Moonlighting for the Job on the Side but I think Cat’s choice was probably better in retrospect. And Gyrate’s Beyonce had us groaning but I’m sure it’s right. Results on Monday, fingers crossed!
