Saturday Snapshots #70 - The Answers


Here we are again: Another Day In Paradise! I gave you One More Night to crack yesterday's clues, and most of you found them Easy, Lover. Well, Rigid Digit did, anyway, arriving first and scooping up a massive 6 and a half points before Walter, Chris and Charity Chic arrived to help him with the rest. Suffice it to say, you guys had this week's clues sussed-udio...


10. Dishonest types don't go home till Autumn.


They look a bit Dodgy, don't they?

Dodgy - Staying Out For The Summer

9. Presidents of the USA (or Stranglers) get back together with the Tijuana Brass.


The POTUSA & Stranglers both sang about Peaches.

Herb Alpert had a Tijuana Brass.

Get them back together and they're...

Peaches & Herb - Reunited 

8. An 'O' Level in Religious Education won't make the truck go any faster... but it will make me adore you forever.


You got an 'O' in RE?

Video of the week! I wish contemporary pop music still looked like this.

6. Twice, again, take a different route home.


In musical notation, bis means do it again or twice.

Dr. Rodent Dung is an anagram.

If you have an epiphany, you see the light.

4. So, Phoebe's brief history of time makes me want to sell my soul for a night of passion...


So, Phoebe = Sophie B.

Stephen Hawking wrote The Brief History of Time.

If you sell your soul, you're damned.

Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn, Wish I Was Your Lover

3. American cereal found in pubescent bin-liner.


Wheat from the U.S.
