Sorry, Ruddles, I've been busy and away a lot recently and not given this much thought. I must admit I'm still baffled though  but I'm not throwing in the towel just yet. |

Ruddles, I'm afraid I'm going to have to declare myself beaten by this one, much as I hate to do so. I've been staring at a map and am totally devoid of inspiration.  |

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd defeat you all especially with so many clues and not even so much as a single guess 
As I'm feeling in a good mood one final clue which is not strictly speaking related to the link but I'm sure will give you the answer straight away
Monster Mash - Bobby Boris Pickett and the Cryptkickers
You need to be thinking North of the Border - I'm almost tempted to post a quick link to that superb track 'Donald, Where's Ye Trousers' 
Oh and by the way I was inspired to come up with the Lady Gaga track as I happened to be eating some excellent Scottish Kippers at the time - think where they might have come from - and I don't mean Tesco - famous for kippers and seafood generally

Well done Schiz - at last after more than two months 
The link is Scottish Lochs
In order for us to avoid being here on this one for another two months I'm going to tell you that the fourth track you are looking for is a seasonal track which links to a very well known loch and the link is is the artists name
Over to you

The Little Drummer Boy - VaNESSa Williams
Red Hot - VaNESSa Mae

Oh Angel - you've hit on the correct Loch but sadly not the correct track
The track I am looking for was released within the last ten years and the artists name provides a very fitting description of the Loch on a dismal winter's day

Yes Angel - well done - probably the longest lasting link we've had on here which I must admit quite surprised me
Anyway, looking on the bright side you've had plenty of time to come up with the next link

Great stuff although I feel a bit guilty as Graham hit on the right series and really I just fell lucky with the actual track 
Anyway here's a tricky little link
Tell Him - Alma Cogan
Love Changes Everything - Climie Fisher
Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams
I think this is really quite hard - I won't give you any clues at this stage but if you would like them do let me know

Yes that's fair enough Angel because this link is not easy
You need to be thinking about British history but nothing too complicated - you don't need to know when the Chartist Movement was founded or when the Rainhill Trials took place - just fairly simple history like lists of Kings and Queens and only going back to around the time of World War Two
Of course the answer isn't names of Kings and Queens but it is something along those lines and whilst the current clues go back only around 70 years the link has existed a great deal longer than that
Extra bonus clue
Temple of Love - Sisters of Mercy

Yes - well done Angel -I gave you exactly the same clue as I did on the live link on this one but still nobody got it
The artist is fairly obvious for the fourth track so it's just a question of hitting on the right track

Right Artist Angel but wrong tracks
I just couldn't bring myself to use the 'Without You' option quite simply because the performer absolutely murdered what was a classic track - and I 'm talking about the original by Badfinger rather than the Neilson hit version which was bearable

I didn't know there was an original by Badfinger - must have been before my time
I'll guess:
We Belong Together
Always Be My Baby

Oh Angel - you should listen to the Badfinger original - absolutely superb - a very unlucky track though
Within a month of writing it Peter Ham formerly guitarist with Badfinger was found hanged in his own garage and within a few months of recording it Harry Neillson was diagnosed with cancer - if I was Mariah Carey I'd be having regular medical checks
Sadly you still haven't got the right track
This was the first single to be released from the album 'Music Box' in 1993

I'm really struggling on this one - again a long shot but anything remotely connected with insects

No, Ruddles, nothing to do with insects.
These two tracks have a close connection with what I'm looking for, but don't contain the actual answer:
Boris the Spider - The Who
I'll Never Fall in Love Again - Bobbie Gentry
Hope this helps |
