Saturday Snapshots #88


If you've just got off the Marrakesh Express, you're probably wondering how to keep yourself entertained this Saturday morning. Welcome to Our House - a very, very, very fine house, with two cats in the yard and Snapshots wherever you look.

Identify ten top tunes and their performers from the clues below, please. Hopefully none of them will make you Nash your teeth.


10. R.E.M. slows down and shouts like crazy.


9. Pricey parson? No. You've got a long way to go for a Guinness & Champagne.


8. Kennedy, Lincoln, Obama... and Cream.


7. Flyswatter or scum?


6. Benn, please: umbrella needed!


5. You can trust him, he's a carthorse... who nobody can remember.


4. Davy and Sonny are off their heads.


3. A constant aide-memoire... no glasses allowed.


2. Jarvis's woodchip girl destroys afternoon meal.


1. Informant in painful zipper incident.


Teach Your Children Well... the answers can be found right here tomorrow morning.

    1. Extra clue. It's a cover of a classic 60s hit.

    2. Hmm... There's an awful lot of classic 60s hits - Stumped I'm afraid.

  7. 9 I'm guessing the song is the Guiness bit of the clue which makes it Black Velvet. Therefore, the picture is probably Allanah Myles

  8. Through a series of careful deductions, and with the benefit of having two minds on it, Mr SDS and I have come up with the answer for Number 3.... (thanks only to your clues!)

      Of course you should be off enjoying yourself on holiday with the fam, so sorry for pestering you for further clues.
