LONG CHOSE OLDER TURNCOATS TIN SHONE / BAD GROUSEMEAT
- song / band - very, very similar to previous scramble - this band was Irish, though - and the subjects considered in the title are more teenage-focused - the theme still applies - theme applies in one of the two items, as above, but more specific - this song was released two years after the album in the previous scramble - band's name starts with the same letter as Ireland's biggest-selling rock band

No worries, mate. This one's my shout!
LONG CHOSE OLDER TURNCOATS TIN SHONE / BAD GROUSEMEAT - song / band - very, very similar to previous scramble - this band was Irish, though - and the subjects considered in the title are more teenage-focused - the theme still applies - theme applies in one of the two items, as above, but more specific - this song was released two years after the album in the previous scramble - band's name starts with the same letter as Ireland's biggest-selling rock band ![]() - words 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the title are identical to the previous scramble

Alrighty, lemme try one here ...
Clearheaded Died Links Toils/Mount - Song/band - Came back big in mid 1990s film - Guitar centric band; lead plays a left-handed Fender - Act started in the early 1960s - You might catch a wave while listening ... - The band's sound could be called "surf music" - The guitarist's first name is Richard, but he goes by something else - John Travolta made his 'comeback' via the aforementioned film Last edited by jst5150; 08-11-2011 at 11:33 AM. |

Just checking, J - do the words in the solution actually come out to those lengths? You've done a fine job of scrambling and making words out of it!

Okay, we'll have a point of clarification here... The scramble should be delivered in the same word format as the solution.
For example, the answer here is Misirlou / Dick Dale and the Del-Tones So, the scramble ought to appear as, say... clearhea / dedd iedl ink sto ils-mount (I had that pointed out to me after my first entry here as well. )

ANIMAL NEST PITS SILVER / REKLINE
- song / band - also guitar-centric - and also with a left-handed lead guitar (I hadn't realised!) - very big in the early 90's
