Erasure - Blue Savannah
Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills

Blue Savannah - Erasure

Blue is a colour, with a spectral wavelength of roughly 440–490 nm
In physics, wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).
Instead of using a monogram, the sign for lambda (λ) was used by Louis XIII of France as his personal symbol.
Louis XIII is the king referenced in Dumas' epic tale of chivalry - "The Three Musketeers"
A Musketeer not only had to carry a musket, but gunpowder, balls, a selection of tools (these things always went wrong) and a ramrod
A rod is a distance of measurement (16.5 ft long). In a quaint old piece of English nonsense, 4 Rods is the exact distance that two batsmen need to cover to get one run.

Run To The Hills - Iron Maiden

The lead singer of Genesis during the 80's and 90's was Phil Collins who shared the same name as amercian singer and songwriter Judy Collins.

One of Judy's biggest hits was the tuly awful "Send in the Clowns".

One of the funniest parts of a Clowns act is when they pretend to throw a bucket of water over the crowd but more often than not it has either glitter or nothing inside it.

If there's no water in the bucket then we safely assume there must be a hole in it and therefore....
