Leaffan:
Can you or one of the folks who “liked” your answer explain this? Wikipedia doesn’t mention any actual holes that I noticed. My best guess is that the city has a reputation for being full of assholes (“holes”), but I have no first-hand experience with the stereotype.
I am shocked, shocked! that I am the only person who gave Zombie Jesus as the answer for number 4.

It’s a line from “A Day in the Life” by The Beatles.
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn…you…on…
Having never known the meaning before, just the line, wiki says it’s from a newspaper article that said there were lots of potholes in Blackburn.
It is referring to A Day In The Life :
And a great answer, BTW.
Top five!!!
Regarding Blackburn, Lancashire, you ought to listen to more Beatles.

I really, really thought about it, but decided to try for points instead. How deluded I was to think it would matter.
Done in by the gavel…boy, if I had a dime for every time that’s happened…
I was done in by “sweet nothings” – ditto.

Sweet pea did me in.
Anyhow, I’m happy with a top twenty finish.
Dead last, by a mile! My second time! Is that a record?
It sure won’t help me any, but in #10 , should shoes and soles be considered the same answer?

Well, 15th is better than I’ve done in a long time. Maybe if I send swampbear some more cookies he’ll give me some pointers.

I think shoes, boots and soles should be merged into one answer. Not that it really makes a huge difference.
Holy cow, Top 5! I hope this doesn’t mean I only do well when I answer Feuds from out of town…
As to the Beatles reference, I didn’t get it, either. Funny thing is, I know and have the album, and really enjoy that song, but I had no idea that’s what was being said there. Guess I ought to pay more attention to the music I listen to!

I’d also argue for “trumpet” and “horn” to be merged.

not necessarily. A trumpet is a horn, but a horn isn’t always a trumpet.
Almost last, again.
No-one else immediately thought of a rubber chicken?
Sigh

I agree with the merges. Not that it helped my score!
