The screen door slams... and the answers to Saturday Snapshots arrive. Were these Tougher Than The Rest? Not for you lot...
This week's Early Bird was Lynchie... I'm stopping calling it "winner" as first up gets the pick of the crop. Congrats, anyway, Lynchie. And welcome along to first-time player, Walter. About time you guys got a bit of competition.
10. If you think this is The Man In Black, you probably need new spectacles.
The Man In Black was Johnny Cash. You can work out the rest yourself.
Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now
9. Evergreen girl loses 50 Romans on a very short visit. (I'll be impressed if anyone gets this.)
Pine is an evergreen.
50 in Roman numerals is L. Take that away from girl and you get gir.
A very short visit would be...
Piney Gir - Greetings, Salutations, Goodbye
(Well done, Martin. Bonus point for that - especially as you'd never heard of her.)
8. Bubbly seaman.
Sailor - Glass of Champagne
7. How other people see us, for a very short time, on the up.
How other people see us is our public image.
Short time = limited.
Public Image Ltd. - Rise
(John Lydon videos are always good value, even if you don't like the song.)
6. Juvenile offenders up before the judge... arrive late.
Teenagers in court?
The Courteeners - What Took You So Long?
5. Spicy C needs a locksmith.
Mel C was the best Spice Girl.
Melanie - Brand New Key
4. Abraham & Stewart get warm with missing astronauts and their fishy boss.
Abraham Lincoln & Rod Stewart get hot.
Missing astronauts would be Lost Planet Airmen.
Their fishy boss would be Commander Cody.
Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen - Hot Rod Lincoln
3. Aggressive women burn on hot days.
Violent Femmes - Blister In The Sun
2. A 2 cm wok fights passionately.
A cm wok is an anagram for Womack. The 2's in there because there are two of them.
Womack & Womack - Love Wars
1. Aussie adolescent waits for summer and won't give up.
Bruce.
Spring's - teen.
Will never surrender.
Can you believe it's taken me 53 weeks to get to him?
Alyson worked out the who, but it took non-Boss-fan C to work out the song, even though the lyrics are in the header of this very blog...

It's a town full of losers, but you're all pulling out of here to win.
More Saturday Snapshots For You next week...
Took me a while to work out what it was all about and even then I had no idea lol but having seen the answers I can see how it all hangs together. Excellent idea it is too! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ken. It keeps us vaguely entertained on a Saturday morning.
DeleteI didn't actually know the header was a Springsteen lyric. Make sense now. I love the Violent Femmes song. First time hearing Love Wars and enjoying.
