Saturday Snapshots #19



Saturday's were made for POP. (And not just Iggy.)

Identify the ten pop songs - and their performers - below...


10. Home for mad spirits. Where's the brakes!?!


9. Smaller than a superstar collie, sighing at trucks.


8. Kinda like this blog... hardly a firecracker!

7. Beware of this (unabbreviated) spinning lady... she's coming for New York!


6. Mental illness? Climb a mountain in the Med.


5. Art makes Hazlewood a prisoner for drinking sugary pop from Korea.


4. Steve & Charlie chew it over.


3. Created to adore... and smooch.


2. Good for staying up and larging it on Saturday & Sunday.


1. What Bond got LOADS.


Easy... like Sunday morning (when you'll get the answers).

      Has to be!

    2. Ah - Well done but beat me to it. Was feeling really chuffed with myself!

    3. You beat me to Alessi Brothers so we're even stevens!

    1. Whooooooo? (I'd take that as a no.)

      Delete
    2. I was going to chime in with an Alexander Brothers guess but then thought no-one but you and CC will have heard of them! Definitely a no though.

    3. #2 is probably aimed at JC - who finds this quiz too hard - or The Swede - who's probably still on holiday. I thought maybe CC might get it though.

  7. 7 Jennifer Warnes - First We Take Manhatten

  8. I'd just like to point out that I was here at 6.40 this morning and there was NOTHING! So much for the early quiz person catching the quiz questions. Harrumph!

    1. I didn't think it was THAT tough this week. I also didn't think the post went live till 8.30. Have you got a time machine?

    1. No. You will kick yourself when someone gets the answer.

      What does James Bond get lots?

      Delete
    2. Shot at. Sex. Therefore my answer is Laid

      Delete
  10. Number 4 is Cud. I have no idea about the song, I can think of Only a Prawn In Whitby and Robinson Crusoe, and I can't link Steve or Charlie to either track.

    1. Correct. I thought this particular song was their biggest "hit".

      Delete
    2. I'm guessing the song is Rich & Strange

      Delete
  11. And I give up, I've no idea about no. 8. None. Ditto number 2. Is the initial clue for 2 a drug reference? Have you listened to that Alexander Brothers track yet? I think you'll like it. And I suspect myself, Alyson, Gram and CC could sing you the entire song

    1. Not yet. Need to get near a computer (on phone now). The initial clue for 2 is another sex reference, I'm afraid. Impossible not to be with a band called this.

      Delete
    2. Something to do with Viagra??

      Delete
    3. A bit more old-fashioned than that.

      Think Belle & Sebastian.

      Delete
    4. With that clue, I'm guessing the band is Arab Strap.

      I only own the first album, so the song could be The First Big Weekend

      Delete
    5. Sadly I think I could sing all of Nobody's Child - My granny's favourite Alexander Bros song!

      As for Arab Strap, the photo was too small but if it had been a close up I would have recognised Malcolm Middleton from your Christmas snapshots quiz. Spent a lot of time pouring over that one and was really chuffed when I worked out the jaunty seasonal ditty "We're All Going To Die"!

      Delete
  12. The first thread I can ever remember featuring both the Alexander Brothers and Arab Strap

    ReplyDelete
  13. Am amazed there are still points to be had for 8, which is My Life Story and You Don't Sparkle (In My Eyes).

  14. And to all, a good night...
