Squeal of Fortune!


This is a game I’m going to post every week on Mondays. Basically it’s kind of like Wheel of Fortune, sans Vanna White, Pat Sajak and cash and prizes. And a wheel. And a studio audience.

Below I’m putting a sentence with some letters left blank and a clue. The first person to correctly fill in the blanks in the comments section wins. I’ll post their name tomorrow if there is one and they can squeal for joy and/or like a pig.

Okay, here’s the clue (no fair Googling!):

This English band had such a bad reputation that by 1977 they were pretty much banned from playing live, nobody would book them for fear of the commotion that might ensue by the band or their fans. So the band booked gigs under the name, The Spots.

Name the real name of the band and what “Spots” stood for.

What “Spots” stood for:

easy peasy - the band was whee, tex mismigos! and "SPOTS" was a russian acronym for turn your head to the side and cough.

I had the Sex Pistols, but couldn't figure out what Spots stood for! Congratulations, Joey D!

Yes......Biff, you are right! Freddy Fender started out with Tex Mismigos and one of their signature stage moves was to turn their heads and cough on the backbeat! I don't know what the fuck Spots means!
