He Can Give Me A Cod

[Amethyst57]

Male singer 7 letters must com alphabetically between Bing & Caruso. Could be first name or surname.

The title made me think og Captain Birdseye but he's no singer. So are we looking for a one word answer which could be forename, surname of known single name?

[dannyk13]

Carrie(Fisher) ?

[dannyk13]

Ignore that (not a male)

[emeritus]

(John Ford) Coley ?

[emeritus]

sorry doesnt fit alphabetically

[fiction-factory]

Doesn't fit in alphabetically but (Phil ) Collins sanf Too Many Fish in the Sea which is maybe why he might give you a cod

[fiction-factory]

Is the clue right? Cod or code?

[fiction-factory]

"give me a cod"- is that a euphamism, I wonder? I remember a term about "slipping a fish"
Can you confirm we are all understanding what we are looking for please? You can comment just by replying to your own question. Thanks

I don't know how this quiz works. The Captain could be a fishing trawler captain. The singer called Captain was Captain Sensisble. Captain fits alphabetically

Hi Amethys- I'll leave this for now until you get chance to comment on our suggestions and confirm that we seem to have understood the requirements.
I suppose it could be classical- eg Schubert The Trout so someone may have done a cod piece.
(Talking of codpieces, I did wonder if the clue was a reference to someone who famously wore a cod piece but Cameo (on Word Up) is only 5 letters.)

Just a final thought. May be a bit leftfield but would Builder count (Bob the Builder)? . It fits alphabetically and he sang this fish themed song:

[Amethyst57]

Definitely a male singer, or could possibly be a term for a male singer, like tenor or bass. Could be either first or last name, both are used for other answers. One word with 7 letters. That's all I know, as this is not even my quiz, someone else asked me if I could help them with this clue.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. So is the clue definitely "He can give me a cod"?

So the answer could be a a singer's first name, single word name (like Sting or Black) or surname, or could be a musical term for a singer. (I thought cod= fish, bass = fish but bassist is out of place alphabetically)
Bing Crosby sang Gone Fishing but he isn't 7

[murraymints]

Bocelli ?

[murraymints]

no idea about the fish thing though

[fiction-factory]

Bocelli fits alpahabetically and is 7. The only cod connection i can think of immediately is Cape Cod

[dannyk13]

He got married in Cape Cod.

[murraymints]

wellll.. at a stretch....

[fiction-factory]

yes, that's all I could think of immediately danny, but it seems a weak clue to me if that is the answer

[fiction-factory]

Please can you give us a couple of examples of other clues and their answers please so we can geta feel for the setter's clue writing. Ignoring the clue, Bocelli looks a possibility if other answers have been Bing and Caruso. It looks from these as if the setter won't be using rappers or thrash metal singers
