THEME: Exchanging B for C in phrases changes their meanings, orally
GOOD ONES:
Sketched a Gibb brother? DREW BARRY [with C instead of B, it would be the actor]
Qualifying exam for opera school? VOCAL BOARD [with C it would sound like Chord[ {"Examiners for opera school" might have been better}
What you can't get if you pass the bar? A DRINK
Confrontational opening? NON [making it the opposite]
Base shade? KHAKI [Army base]
Glower? EMBER [didn't read it with long O --- missed the question mark]
One helping swingers? BATBOY [not party-goers or apes]
BTW:
Undersea party pooper? MARINE BORE [the clue makes no sense, but "Undersea drill" does] {I smell an editor's touch.}
I immeditely recalled the songs MARIA and MR. LEE, but I'm sorry and a bit embarrassed about the latter --- a brain worm.
Haven't heard "Have A COW" in a "coon's age."
Lotto variant BEANO [got me on this one; I thought the gas reliever pills, a motto of which might be "In Beano nary gas." :-[
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
