Doesn't most of this sound a little 'pukey'?
Anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?

It's just you. We like it this way. If you don't like it, read something else. Wasn't Shazam something to do with the original Captain Marvel?Cheers!

Bees re 19d - best interpretation I can give you is the first 4 letters relate to an instrument and you add the y which gives you the answer for stomach. The y is from 'open your'. That's of course unless anyone else has anything different!

Thanks Crypto,

Am I showing my age when I suggest that 'Shazam' brings to mind Duane Eddy? No, don't answer that...

According to Wikipedia, a 'belly' is a kind of steelpan, an instrument used in steel drum bands.

Re 19d - I think for the solution to the clue to fit it is bell for the instrument + y (being the opening letter of the word your - otherwise this bit of the clue seems superfluous).

Wikipedia provides the following definition for bell:
The bell is a percussion instrument and an idiophone. Its form is usually a hollow, cup-shaped object, which resonates upon being struck.
