I think that was probably Charles Aznavoice.
But linking from 'Telly' I'll go for Elvis Costello's 'Watching the Detectives'.

Of course, Elvis Costello also recorded "She," so this link works without Telly Savalas (it was "If" that he recorded, not "She").
But we're now talking about detectives, so let's have "Private Investigations" by Dire Straits.

And there was me expecting the next link to be "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. I even had a response ready, but it will have to wait.
Since this is a Christian web-site, what could be more suitable than linking to "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones.

Hmm, I wonder if I could link to another song featuring a cowbell?
Or perhaps it would be easier to note that the lyrics refer to Romeo and Juliet, which was the name of a song by Dire Straits.

Shucks, when you mentioned cowbells I was hoping for a lonely goatherd (as you do...)
It'll have to be 'Stay' by Shakespeare's Sister (or possibly Shakespear's Sister).

Shakespear's Sister took their (mispelt) name from the Smiths song of that title. Morrissey took the name from a Virginia Woolf essay with the same title (spelt correctly).
Which leads us to the rather more banal "Cry Wolf" by Ah-Ha.

No I don't!
It's tempting to observe that arrows are fired by archers, and hence link to Barwick Green, but I'll resist that.
Let's have "Jump" by Van Halen instead.

Just to jog your memory:
Little arrows in your clothing
little arrows in your hair
when you're in love you'll find those
little arrows everywhere
Little arrows that will hit you once
and hit you once again
Little arrows that hit everybody
every now and then.
Here they come, floating out of the blue
little arrows for me and for you,
we're falling in love again,
falling in love again... etc
What a classic
I'll leave someone else to do the next song...

There's really nowhere to go after that, is there? However I'll try 'Fire' by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, as it starts with the words 'I am the god of hell fire' (I didn't have that before, did I? Maybe it's just on my mind cos it's on a 60s compilation I've been playing).
