Saturday Snapshots #82


Attention Material Girls & Beautiful Strangers... time once more to get Into The Groove of Saturday Snapshots.

Identify ten songs and their singers from the clues below, please. I'm Crazy For You to solve them all and promise to Cherish your answers...




10. Coward? Affirmative.


9. Conserve sheep: not a Golden Girl.


8. Martin, not a woman, warns against rat-arsed coitus.


7. Nee Nah's ambition was to sell 100,000 albums.


6. So scared of this crazy planet, you want to cry.


5. Prince George is very happy with the bloke from BT.


4. Sleep with Los Angeles; Jacobi calls for a pizza.


3. Where Paul gets his honey, at the crossing.


2. Van Halen, with subtitles, stumbles into a Scottish burgh called just Lochr.


1. Dido resting on the harbour wall.


Take A Bow if you got them all right. Otherwise, if I Live To Tell, I'll be back tomorrow morning with the answers.

      Very close, George, in title and Geography... but it's not Simple Minds.

      Yes definitely Gold something from the no. of records sold and something involving a siren. Scottish? Early '80s by the look of them. Still stumped.

    Bit late to the party this morning and stuck with what is left. Even stuck with some of the ones that have been answered so will be interesting to see the answers yesterday and how the clue came about.

    No. 3 an 8 still to get and some of no. 7 and 2 I think. Will get my thinking cap on.

    No. 3 something involving McCartney maybe

    No. 8 a lady from the mid to late '70s singing about Not Partaking in Drunken Sex but can't place her. Linda Martin from Ireland has red hair but it's not her - Considering the subject matter probably a country singer.

      A little shorter than McCartney.

      Speaking of whom, if you apply that thinking to number 8, it might help you solve the clue. Surprised the country fans here haven't already recognised that lady.

      8 - Loretta Lynn?

    3. Martin4 May 2019 at 11:02

      And so 3 must be The Maccabees?

      Ooh, seems not - No. 3 song by the Maccabees is surely 'Pelican'!
