Name That Tune

A new thing.

You set up a position on a chessboard and you have
to guess the song that inspired it.
Jut name the artist, make up the position and we have to guess it.
(you can add a wee clue in the title if you want to).

3 examples all from Bob Dylan.

No1 is so easy.

No2. Every King on the 5th rank is in checkmate. Therefore it's......

No3. This is a deep one. White to play.

I'm enjoying this.

(Yes I'm bored, the snow in Britain has brought everything to a halt
so I'm sitting at work with absolutely nothing to do).

I was about to say 'Queen Jane Approximately' because the queens pass by so fast...

However, hitting 'reply and quote' shows certain hidden text messages, which tell me, I had the wrong guess.

Which in turn now lets me hide from you my wrong guess...

Edit: I am still fiddling around with the 'hidden' command...

The song is sung by either of the white pieces.

u guys are so good at making these...

Good, but think it only fair if we gave the artist.
I thought it might be HELP! by the Beatles
or Rooks Around The Clock by Bill Hailey and The Comets.

If you had said Steelers Wheel I think I would have got it.

A famous song from 'West Side Story.'

You can have loads of fun with this idea.

A chess columist was given the job to report on a football match.
All he produced was three diagrams.

Who was playing. What was the result.
