Guess the song titles containing one extra letter to win £50
A gremlin has added one letter to each of 20 song titles - see if you can identify the 10 pairs of songs to have a chance of winning this month's competition (and £50)

Posted by Andy Brown on 29 January 2026

A gremlin has broken into the Wise Owl newspaper editorial office (it's quite small) and added an extra letter to our list of famous song titles. Here's the sort of damage we've incurred:

Picture	Notes
	This picture shows a Tainted Clove, not Tainted Love, the Soft Cell classic - someone has added a C
	This picture shows Isn't Shep lovely?, a reference to John Noakes' dog from Blue Peter in the 1970s, not Isn't She Lovely? by Stevie Wonder - someone has added a P
	This shows Mr Bright's aide, not Mr Brightside - someone has added an A (and rearranged the spacing).

Now you've got the idea, see how many of these you can get. When you're at your wit's end, send your answers to this email address:

Newsletter competition email address

The email address of your competition editor.

Two wonderful things will happen at this point:

We'll write back to you filling in the blanks for the songs you couldn't identify.
Your answer will be entered into the hat (with your chances of winning proportional to the number of answers you got right). The person whose name is picked out towards the end of February by JENRICK (Judging Entries Neutrally, Randomly and Impartially for Competition Kudos) will win a £50 voucher and a measure of fame.

Note that the pictures come in pairs. In each pair the two songs are either sung by the same artist or (in two pairs) come from the same musical.

Here goes ...

Pair 1 (easy?)
Pair 2 (easyish?)
Pair 3 (bit harder)
Pair 4 (trickier)
Pair 5 (hard)
Pair 6 (challenging)
Pair 7 (challenging)
Pair 8 (hard)
Pair 9 (yuk)
Pair 10 (phew)

I've put my thoughts on how hard the pairs are to get - it'll be interesting to see if people agree!
