Hello.
It's Sunday morning. Whether you spent Saturday night Chasing Pavements or Rolling In The Deep, chances are you were also wondering about the answers to Saturday Snapshots.
Well, wonder no more... here they are! Someone Like You probably scored ten out of ten... but the prize this week has to be split between Charity Chic and Walter but both managed to score a solid three points. Alyson was a valiant runner up. Well done, guys. One message to you all though, from The Stranger...
10. Emperor found in centre of loch.
Welcome along to new player, Ramone666, who correctly identified the band. As to the Emperor...
Rosko?
Midlake - Roscoe
9. Colour-changing muck monster.
This is a Swamp Thing.
The Chameleons - Swamp Thing
8. Too Loo, etc = devour them before they devour you!
It was an anagram!
I always like to ponder over which will be the first one answered each week. CC jumped straight in with this one yesterday, proving his superior knowledge of the Toto Coelo discography.
Toto Coelo - I Eat Cannibals
Saturday Snapshots - the quiz with no shame!
7. Firm of solicitors headed by an electrician win lottery.
Alyson guessed the obvious track - Fanfare For The Common Man.
CC bemoaned the fact that ELP had recorded more than one song. I actually prefer Lucky Man to Fanfare.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man
6. Backwards eel found in comic with burning bollocks. (Apologies to those of you who dislike foul language.)
A backwards eel would be Lee.
Jerry Lewis was a comic.
Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire
(Too easy.)
5. The Undertones sang it twice, on a stool, in cocktail town.
The Undertones sang Jimmy Jimmy.
A stool is another word for a buffet.
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville
I do love that song.
4. Mouse & Bell Jar: Olev.
Mickey Mouse & Sylvia Plath (who wrote The Bell Jar).
Olev is love, strangely.
Mickey & Sylvia - Love Is Strange
Nobody puts Baby in the corner.
3. New York's finest love you and leave you.
Lynchie arrived late to save the day with this one.
This has got to be the saddest day of my life...
The Manhattans - Kiss & Say Goodbye
2. Shergar & Red Rum eat Elliott's burger.
Elliott Smith & a burger patty.
Patti Smith - Horses
9 minutes of utter mentalosity!
1. Number One profanity, Elton + Hugh.
Elton John.
Hugh Grant.
Too easy.
More profanities... but not quite as offensive as the one C suggested.
Remember: you could be laughing 65% more of the time!
Saturday Snapshots will return next week. (Add your own Skyfall pun here.)
You're back firing on all cylinders after the departure of the lurgy. A lot of comments there that also sprang to mind (Baby in the corner, saddest day of my life etc). I had never heard a stool being called a buffet though - I thought it was another name for something quite different that wouldn't put in an appearance anywhere near a buffet.
ReplyDeleteI think buffet for stool may be something more commonly used in Yorkshire. The other half questioned it when I used it in conversation recently, and she's from Lancashire.

Is C going to get lines sir?
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's detention time!
DeleteIn my defence, Sir, I was merely quoting someone; similarly it could have been from James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, D H Lawrence... :-)
That's it - always blame the swots!
Deletegreat song by The Chameleons
