Saturday Snapshots #36 - Answers


War, war is stupid and people are stupid... but not you guys, because you solve Saturday Snapshots every week! (Well, as I type this there are two still oustanding... but I'm hoping someone will solve them overnight). I may be a man without conviction, but I appreciate you playing along every weekend... and I think we can all agree that C is this week's undisputed Karma Chameleon. Well done, C!


10.  Tomorrows' last page.


The placement of the possessive apostrophe is important as it indicates more than one Sunday.

The last page is where the story ends.

The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends

9. Talking is wonderful with sweet Lauryn.


Lauryn Hill is sweet like sugar.

The Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight

8. Elvis licks your salty cheeks.


Elvis was the King. But you knew that.

King - The Taste Of Your Tears

7. Finding your award in the W.C. - between a rock and a hard place.


That would be an Emmy award found in the loo, you see.

Apologies to the people of Birmingham.

Emmylou Harris - From Boulder To Birmingham

6. Anyone know where I can find my lady? She's a little timid around low calorie dishes.


You don't really need me to explain this one, do you?

The Chi-Lites - Have You Seen Her?

5. Captured reindeer would like to boogie.


Blitzen was a reindeer, captured in a trap.

Better name for a band than Rudolph Trapper, I think.

Blitzen Trapper - Dance With Me

4. Like Billy Joel said, I'm All For a good scratch. Not 13.


Billy Joel sang All For Leyna.

If you like a good scratch then you love an itch.

13 is not usually a lucky number.

Lene Lovich - Lucky Number

3. How I feel yesterday: warm and radiant.


I feel is present tense, so yesterday I felt.

Right now, there are a couple of people kicking themselves.

Felt - Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow

2. Baby scallywags give positive affection.


Young Rascals - Good Lovin'

1. Fake medicine for Mrs. Reagan's son.


Fake medicine is a placebo.

Mrs. Reagan's son would be Nancy's Boy... which always reminds me of an old Spitting Image sketch about Larry Speakes, of which the title of this song is the punchline. But I can't find it on youtube, sadly.


Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

No?

Then make sure you come back again next week.

  2. Excellent as ever, Rol, thanks. Early bird catches the worm in my case. I doubt I'll manage that again!

    1. Congrats C - I was about to chip in with "the early bird...." but you've beaten me to it. It is however much more than that - You came up with 6 of the answers in total which is way more than most of us would get, however early we get up.
