LIST LESS CORN / TOOTH OVERBITE / LEAN SLEAZE SELLS
- title / musician / author - link to the previous scramble: the title (as originally written) contains a number in spelled-out form - the musician wrote a song with this title, and the author wrote a book using this title - the book, also made into a film, is the more famous of the two - nevertheless, the musician is very, very well known

Argghhh! Albedo swooped in while I was perfecting my answer with this little tidbit: "Apparently the name is spelled "Feivel" in the opening credits and "Fievel" in the closing credits."
Over to you, AoZ

TASTING CHICORY ARATIOHUT
- original name of a band usually known by just the second word - link to previous scrambles: almost all of their albums are numbered, the first one being one of two exceptions I know - one of their biggest hits is a song with three numbers in the title

CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY ....usually known by the FIRST word : )
The real Chicago Transit Authority of transportation threatened legal action because of the name.... so the band shortened it to Chicago. Does anyone really know what time it is?
