Leaving shellfish unfinished, say no to picnic crasher with joint (11)

Accompanying fake orgasm sound by sex worker (11)

And the winner is, Raffles! 😎

Thank you to all who took part.

This is a very tough job. A great selection of great clues. Everyone deserves a mention, but.

In third place I have Paul #4, Jon #21, and Aristo #31.

Second place goes to Buddy #6 - a worthy potential winner but he cleverly disqualified himself by not including a word count😜, shared with Amej #5, and Darla #23.

And the winner (by Sibella’s nose) is Swarb #3, with, another for me look no further (but I always do) gem.

Conservative company with German insect accompanying (11)

Congratulations Swarb.

I seem to have offended YouTube - most of these wouldn't play. I expect it's my adblocker.

Thanks raffles and there was me thinking you'd go for the more complex @29.

Thanks for the great black comedy that was Kind Hearts, along with a song about my home town that I was singing along to in the folk clubs 50 years ago.

With Guy Clark, I still listen to LA Freeway on a regular basis.
