15. Joan Armatrading - Love and Affection

OK. The French for 'Yellow' is Jaune. Submarines have some kind of armour plating to protect them (bear with me here). If you put "Jaune" and "Armour plating" together it sounds a bit like Joan Armatrading, who had a huge hit with 'Love and Affection'.

Sorry!
