Welcome, Fresh Princes (and Princesses), it's time to Boom Boom, Shake the Room Big Willie Style (did I mention my first name is William?).
Alternatively, you can get the answers to Saturday Snapshots straight from the Men In Black. Be careful though: they won't let you remember...
Hot competition just after 8.30 yesterday morning, though I think Lynchie clinched the win with his superior knowledge of Iron Maiden songs. Thank you all for playing, as always.
10. Devastating hurricane with burnt feet.
Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.
Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine
Pound for pound, you'll still struggle to find a purer pop song.
9. Which Engine Type gets you furthest from Oklahoma?
Engine Type was an irresistible anagram.
Gene Pitney - 24 Hours From Tulsa
8. Shroud stops car with paracetamol.
Turin shroud.
Brakes stop the car.
Paracetamol is a painkiller.
Turin Brakes - Painkiller
C saved the day with this one - I thought it was pretty obvious. But then I would, wouldn't I?
7. Limerick lad finds friend in the blizzard.
Phoebe was a Friend.
A blizzard is lots of snow.
Lynchie questioned whether a limerick is poetry - I refer him to Alyson, our resident poetry expert.
Phoebe Snow - Poetry Man
6. Torturer joins Suggs on stage.
A medieval torture device was an Iron Maiden.
Suggs is in Madness.
Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness?
5. Mausoleum launches noose into space.
Rocket From The Crypt - On A Rope
Rigid Digit had a lie in yesterday but turned up in time to nab this one.
4. Fake news causes sword fight.
Propaganda - Duel
Within the space of one minute, Alyson, George and Walter all got this one.
3. Substance friars shake the street.
The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats
Despite not being a dance music fan, I always loved this one. George claimed to have identified the song (although he didn't name it) and also claimed to have never heard it. Which made me wonder if he spent the whole of 1997 underground.
2. Vegas wrap overhead.
Burritos come in wraps. If they're overhead, they might be flying.
Las Vegas is Sin City.
The Flying Burrito Brothers - Sin City
Just The Two Of Us can get together again next Saturday for more of the same...
I know 3 Iron Maiden titles - "Sanctuary" (because of the controversial dead Margaret Thatcher cover art) "Run to the Hills" and "Can I Play With Madness". In addition I know that Suggs fronts Madness. Simples.
ReplyDeleteStill not certain about limericks being poetry though.
Poetry, like comedy, is entirely subjective.
DeleteMore on that (sort of) tomorrow.
