At a pub quiz ages ago one of the rounds was on a similar topic: "Easily Embarrassed" = "Simply Red", that sort of thing.

And one of the clues was "Microscopic Pussy" to which they were expecting "Atomic Kitten" as the answer. However, after a protest from one of the teams, they grudgingly had to accept "Tight Fit"...
