100 Years Ago... or it probably feels like it now... I unleashed the Beast of Burden that is Saturday Snapshots. Since then, nobody's been able to get no Satisfaction, but then again: You Can't Always Get What You Want, can you?
To celebrate our centenary, here's twenty clues to top tunes. Artist and song, please. Bonus points to the first person who works out our extra 100th edition mystery.
Start Me Up...
20. Lennie's pal in dire circumstance. I guess Tony must have shown him the way.
19. Oxymoronic invitation to stop the fight.
18. V, son of Scotland, rejects the preserves.
17. From here to there, with Brass Eye drug.
16. Hooked on romance, old cinema tune.
15. Battles Evil Dead with Carl Douglas.
14. Silky soft V on a quiet evening.
13. Ashes in the toilet have you skidding on pebbles.
12. Stay in bed with a bunch of flowers.
11. Nesting spirit. Atlas or Goliath, possibly.
10. Warhol goes Wilde, with a slight sway.
9. Colleagues visit a disco that only plays Dolly and Johnny.
8. Threat stops traffic across the sea.
7. DJs are... cemented.
6. Moroccan bartender visits Homer's town, looking for Madonna's dear ladyfriend.
5. Touché + mutant ninjas = a harmonious match.
4. Skirmish between pro-US biopics and laces. Murderous commandments!
3. Ain't nothing like it. Your help required to pass.
2. Wren, spinning, no relation to one, an ordinary man.
1. Donald's nephews deliver papers to trendy L7.
Answers tomorrow. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll... but I like it.
18 MC5-Kick out the Jams

ReplyDelete.
2 Jenny Lewis
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the century - 100 weeks of keeping us amused/frustrated on a Saturday morning
ReplyDelete1 Huey Lewis and The News.
ReplyDeleteCan't decipher the song though
Ah - L7 is the slang for being a bit square so It's Hip To Be Square
DeleteDiscovered that when researching songs about moons, specifically The Wings song C Moon - L and 7 makes a square but a C and a moon does the opposite.
Good knowledge Alyson
Delete10. Andy Kim - Rock Me Gently
ReplyDeleteHa ha - Was wracking my brain for an Andy Oscar then it clicked!
11. They Might Be Giants (Bothe Atlas and Goliath) - Birdhouse In Your Soul
ReplyDeleteDidn't know what they looked like before - Always and education.
15. The Five Satins - In The Still Of The Night
ReplyDeleteAgain didn't know what they looked like but another song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack so know the song well.
That should be 14 - sorry
DeleteBetter stop now but 15 has something to do with Kung Fu Fighting, and 20 has something to do with Amarillo or Christie but not sure which Lennie is referred to.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of the them.
And thanks again Rol for making my Saturday morning so entertaining - 100, can you believe it!
Bonus 100th edition mystery to solve: What connects 10 of the artists featured in this week's quiz?
ReplyDeleteCracking that may help you solve some of the ones that haven't been guessed yet.
DeleteThere are a lot of Billys/Williams included in todays list?
DeleteNo. Those of you who have been here from the start might be able to work it out.
Delete10 of these clues/artists have popped up on Snapshots before?
Delete1. George Strait - Amarillo By Morning. My chum used to refer to Mr Strait as "Dod The God".
ReplyDelete4. is Scroobius Pip (Thank you Kyle - who's a fan of theirs) and the only song I can think of is "Soldier Boy (Kill 'Em)"
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a quarter of a point for that. Scroobius is the guy on the left.
DeleteRol - Congrats on your 100 up! Saturday's Snapshots has given me hours of endless fun and driven me to distraction most weeks...
ReplyDeleteAplogies if this has already been done but I can't see the answer to 19, which is Why Can't We Be Friends by War
ReplyDeleteAnd this is a great series, well done. Have you ever given your any of your classes the challenge of setting a clue or two?
ReplyDeleteThanks, George. It has been suggested. Maybe one day.
Delete.....and it would make a change from boring old quadratic equations.....
DeleteActually, I misread your original comment. I thought you meant let you guys make the clues. I do this stuff to escape work so don't want to mix the two.
DeleteAnd I'm an English teacher, not Maths, so no equations.
I was busy this morning but with a slight delay enjoying the special 100th edition.Keep up the good work Rol!
ReplyDeleteIs Jenny Lewis song Just One of the Guys ?
12 is The Posies - Dream All Day.
ReplyDeleteThe mystery link has me stumped but I plead latecomer status. Keep up the good work.
I guess I am not too late to clinch the partially completed number 4 as Scroobius Pip and Dan Le Sac, Thou Shalt Always Kill. I had just coincidentally set aside the 12" single of this a couple days ago to give a listen, so luck on me.
