Cryptic song title. The 'cremation' of a large man will be the cause of darkened festivities?

Fleshhouse: Santa in Flames? Aug 27 03, 11:25 AM

Senior Moments

I have never heard of that one and it is therefore not the one I am thinking of. In my one Santa is not involved. The word in the answer for cremation is used as slang. Aug 27 03, 11:39 AM

Burn(ed) ? Flamed ? Aug 27 03, 4:15 PM

The word burning is in the title Aug 28 03, 4:22 AM

One last clue. There are 13 words in the title and one of them is a very close female relation. Aug 28 03, 11:58 AM

I need to bring this one back to public attention. I haven't got a clue and nor has anyone I know but it's driving me mad. Isn't ther anyone out there who knows this????? Aug 28 03, 6:10 PM

Struggling with it myself. Would like another clue rather than an outright answer if still unsolved in another day or so. I hope that it is not a big "groan" when we are told a (dodgy?) title by SM Aug 28 03, 6:50 PM

Senior Moments

Strictly speaking it should be 15 words as there are two contractions in the title. The group is headed by and named after someone whose surname could also be a christian name. Aug 29 03, 4:00 AM

Senior Moments

There should no groans with the answer as the band is/was well known and having heard them I can vouch for them being sensational. Aug 29 03, 4:02 AM

Very tall! Don't usually see them that big!Invisible too !!!!!!!!!! Aug 29 03, 4:42 AM

Green Giant on Fire? (LOL) Something to do with God and/or hell? Aug 29 03, 8:14 AM

I GOT IT!!!!!!! Never heard of it, mind, but i liked your clues, Sen Mom. For all you sufferers ou there it's "There's no lights on the Christmas tree, Mother, they're burning Big Lou." by the Sensational Alex Harvey band. Do I get a big YAY!??? Aug 29 03, 1:30 PM

MaggieG 5

Correction - There's no lights on the Christmas tree, Mother, they're burning Big Louie tonight. Aug 29 03, 1:35 PM

Whilst you may have got it Maggie, I beat you to it even if I didn't post the title in my last posts. The Band? Very tall - not usually that big AND INVISIBLE !!!! I thought I'd leave a clue and not spoil the "endless" fun we were having! I'll give you a little "yay" Aug 29 03, 2:07 PM

MaggieG 5

Sorry, Dark bark. I didn't (and don't) understand your band references, and when I got the title I thought you must be way off beam. Am I dim or are you too clever? Can you explain? Aug 29 03, 3:44 PM

1950 film starring James Stewart ? Aug 29 03, 5:03 PM

You get it then Maggie ? Aug 29 03, 5:18 PM

At last. Only several centuries behind the rest of the world. never heard of the song though. Could you hum it for me? Aug 29 03, 5:21 PM

I had actually heard of the title. Just didn't put 2 + 2 together until SM said the band was sensational, then it was easy. Didn't know SAHB did it until then. Aug 29 03, 5:39 PM

Sorry for the delay in yaying but I am having trouble with BT and cannot get on line at home. I knew adding Sensational was a bit too much. Sep 01 03, 5:10 AM
