Saturday Snapshots #73 - The Answers


In This World, there are few certainties. Sometimes people go to Extreme Ways to solve Saturday Snapshots. Other times, you Lift Me Up with your answers. No wonder this is a quiz that will Run On (for a long time).

I think Lynchie did just enough to take the prize this week, but there were good efforts from everyone else, particularly George, who confessed to helping Bill Wyman break into the charts. You're an accessory, George, you're going down for that.

You want answers, Honey? Go!


10. Put your lips together like you wanna Move On Up... but these will stop you in your tracks.


Curtis Mayfield sang Move On Up.

You put your lips together and blow, said Lauren Bacall.

Brakes will stop you in your tracks. Hopefully.

9. Bees bring me out in a rash... like Public Enemy Number One.


Bees live in hives.

Hives are also a nasty rash.

Public Enemy No.1 would be the Main Offender.

8. I am a musicien de célébrités... not a Geordie L'addition.


Wey aye, man - l'addition is the bill, like.

Aka Martini Tat is an anagram.

A canary works in a coal mine.

2. Underwater breathing apparatus will burn out your retinas.

1. MDMA overdose? Call for the army geologist.

Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad on a Sunday morning? Is it the knowledge that we'll have to wait another week for more Saturday Snapshots? That's Natural Blues, right there...

  2. The Wyman track has an infectious groove.

    I'm still confused how "Enjoy your trip" = "Falling". Care to explain?

    1. It's an "amusing" thing people in the UK say if you trip and fall over. We are all so hilarious.
