HERE LOONS / SPIN OW TOE FORECAST

1. Song / singing group
2. Taking off from the last scramble.
3. One has to drink something, doesn't one?
4. It's a very old singing group, and one of its founders went on to become one of the best-known movie singing cowboys (and a pretty good actor, too).
5. Maybe that last clue will trigger your memory.

The original phrase had "wanta Fanta". I think that's for the print ads for the similarity of "wanta" and "Fanta".
D'oh! Too clever by half, me! I hereby retract my incorrect correction. Thanks, Joe!

DIDN'T YOU SEE US JESTERS GOING (HUNA WAN'NA TWEAK HER GIANT THONG) / FLOUR GOOBER
- song / artist
- riffing on the theme as expressed in the last scramble
- song title asks a rhetorical question about the futility of restraint
- from the jive era
- artist's music was the basis of a hit Broadway musical in the Nineties

Nope... it's an actual scramble.

Another clue: The song was covered by a guy who was known to Look Sharp! and often seen Stepping Out.

;)

- Based on the title, the song would make a good pairing with Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" :e2drunk:
- It's a recidivist's manifesto!
- The artist shares names with two arguable GOATs*: his first name with a GOAT trumpeter, and his surname with a GOAT basketballer
- Could be subtitled "AA is a Waste of Time"
- The aforementioned musical is about a quintet of identically named men. Its title is from another one of the artist's songs. The song in this scramble is on the musical's soundtrack.
- Reiterating Clue 2: The title is a question
- The aforementioned singer who covered the song has the initials JJ. The album on which he covers the song also has the initials JJ.

ADD EON IT AREA (FOR HER FORT SEE ANY BOMB) / REFY RANDOOM

1. Song / First singer to perform it publicly
2. It's a logical follow-up to the last scramble

3. Most people would probably associate this song with a different (but equally well-known) singer.

BUM NEEBONE, BOO HOOTER, RUN SOON / NICE SCRAMBL
- song / original artist
- same theme as the last one... plus one
- this artist had a hit with the song, but others have had success with it too... one bluesman added a verse that gives it a Hook, and another old-school rocker did a thoroughly good version, that was actually a medley of this song with "House Rent Blues"
- if you're placing this order for yourself, you won't be driving home!
