Saturday Snapshots #120
When they told me this quiz would make a Newman out of me, I had no idea they meant this.
You see, what we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
Ten titles and artists from the clues below, please. They've been too easy lately. This week's are not too easy.
(By the way, if you don't know where that speech comes from, it comes from here. Oops, I mean here.)
10. Invasion of the... couch potatoes.
9. Rhythm & Blues writes to problematic girl, mourning conjunction.
8. Weeping fox.
7. Ask Daniele for a more upbeat reaction to bad weather than Don & Phil had.
6. Dancer's dog mourned by Lee, Lynne and Luke Sky.
5. Bake-off final: mercy for Hergé.
4. Alloy writer romanticised by fortunate Queen killers.
3. On hold for conventional candy.
2. Romantic Shakespearean text found in smallest room.
1. The sound...of a brand-new world. Predictably.
The Sting is on. Show me the Colour of (your) Money, Hustlers. The answers will be revealed tomorrow morning.
Neil Sedaka - Laughing (as opposed to Crying) In The Rain
ReplyDeleteSorry - that's the answer to 7.
ReplyDelete3. Vanilla Fudge - "You Keep Me Hangin' On"
ReplyDelete1: Radiohead - No Surprises
ReplyDelete2: Lou Reed - Romeo Had Juliette?
2 is Lou Reed but the song? Probably Perfect Day
ReplyDelete6. Jerry Jeff Walker - Mr Bojangles
ReplyDelete8. Vixen - Crying
ReplyDeleteI think only 8 people bought that album.
DeleteYou were one of them?
DeleteGuilty
Delete6. Jerry Jeff Walker with Mr. Bojangles
ReplyDelete10. The Bodysnatchers - Easy Life
ReplyDeletenot sure about that song. I only know two by them.
DeleteBlimey, Brian. You're up late!
DeleteRest easy, you got the right one.
DeleteI really should be in bed.
Delete5 Stephen Tin Tin Duffy Icing On The Cake
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should know No. 1
ReplyDeleteYou should. But Chris got it ages ago.
DeleteThank you. Now I can sleep.
Delete4 is The Lucksmiths. Don't know the song, sorry.
ReplyDeleteCheck your bookshelves for romance novelists.
DeleteI realise that the clue to 9 is particularly torturous, so... think of a girl who was a problem, then imagine she stole something from the middle of rhythm and blues, and then add another word for mourns.
ReplyDeletePhew.
R B Greaves - Take a letter Maria
DeleteWorked it out - never heard of him or the song
Top notch sleuthing. We're missing Alyson. She would have known that one.
