I started the year with some quite easy ones as I'm sure you're all feeling depressed about returning to work / normality after your Christmas excesses. But be warned... there are some stinkers coming up in the next few weeks!
10. Do you remember a Danish boardgame? It's incomprehensible.
In Danish "Hüsker Dü?" (meaning “Do you remember?") is a children's memory board game. Apparently. I will rely on Chris to tell me if this is not the case.
Hüsker Dü - It Makes No Sense At All
9. Ex? Ha ha - the jokes on you!
Gotcha!
Or, rather...
Gotye - Somebody I Used To Know
Once you've realised that the tune to this song is "baa baa black sheep", you can't ever unhear it.
8. Butterflies and sleepless nights in a reeky mill.
"A reeky mill" is an anagram.
Butterflies in your tummy and not being able to sleep are two symptom as being in love...
Kelly Marie - Feels Like I'm In Love
7. Rice, meat and a clump of conqueror's hair.
A hank of William's hair?
The dish made out of rice and meat would be...
Hank Williams - Jambalaya
6. Lift streaks the sky.
Need a lift? No, I need a Ride.
Ride - Vapour Trail
5. Mum's curry for Action Men.
Ma's tikka?
Martika - Toy Soldiers
4. McCartney braggs about his affair with Grace.
Billy Bragg + Paul McCartney... and Grace Jones!
Billy Paul - Me & Mrs. Jones
3. If you don't turn that radiator off, a Scottish valley will sizzle.
The glen will fry!!!
Glenn Frey - The Heat Is On
2. Dante's contraception.
Dante wrote The Divine Comedy.
In days gone by, your barber might offer you "something for the weekend?"
The Divine Comedy - Something For The Weekend
There's nothing in the woodshed. Is there?
1. Comparable with Dylan? There's just no pleasing some people.
Dylan sang Like A Rolling Stone, of course.
Find yourself a quiet place to play Saturday Snapshots again next week...
I wasn't aware of meaning of Something for the Weekend, cleverly included in the clue.
ReplyDeleteIn Danish: Husker du? =Do you remember?. Wiki says it's a 1970s American game which is why I haven't played. The game and rock group added the ¨ ¨ symbols.
Interesting. Wonder why the Americans chose a Danish phrase for the game? Possibly because "Husker du?" sounds a little bit cooler than "Do you remember?"
DeleteI clearly need to brush up on my former Eagles
