Saturday Snapshots #122: The Answers

Yesterday was Saturday Snapshots.

Today - here's the answers.

Tomorrow... we'll do something different.



10. Look into my eyes, not around the eyes... can you see Michael, Neil and Buzz?

Michael, Neil and Buzz were three spacemen.

Look into my eyes, not around the eyes... well, that's just like Kenny Craig.

Spacemen 3 - Hypnotized

9. Like a fox, did exactly what she said she would, with feeling.

Samantha Fox... sang... with emotion. (The Brothers Gibb did the rest.)

Samantha Sang - Emotion

8. Collected names. Shorten trousers before wireless.

Autograph - Turn Up The Radio

(No shame.)

7. Arab sky confused by Korean digit.

"Arab sky" is a nice simple anagram.

Seoul is the capital of South Korea.

A digit is a finger.

The Bar-Kays - Soul Finger

6. Sidewalk sovereign has rumbling tum.

Echobelly - King of the Kerb

5. Scottish comic, I presume, sends text to former New York mayor.

Here's a Scottish comic...

Dr. Livingston, I presume?

The former New York mayor would be Rudy Giuliani.

Dandy Livingstone - Rudy, A Message To You

4. William was the ship's captain, not this trembling goat.

Goat = Kid.

Tremblin = Shakin'.

Pirate Captain Kidd was called William, not Johnny.

3. Excitable pontificators find their goddess with child zero.

Excitable pontificators would be Manic Street Preachers, obviously.

Goddess links to Lord.

Child Zero = Baby Nothing.

Manic Street Preachers & Traci Lords - Little Baby Nothing

Pure 6th form poetry, as Rigid Digit pointed out - manages to be trendily Woke 25 years before Woke became a thing, and verges on "mansplaining" to use another loathsome contemporary expression... but what a tune!

Meanwhile, this post namechecks both Samantha Fox and Traci Lords, so what a degenerate I must be.

2. London football team not on Eastern Standard Time, released at last.

West Ham - EST = Wham!

Wham! - Freedom

1. Saint who could be English or Welsh puts an end to the affair.

Saint George.

Jones is the most common Welsh surname.



Sophia next Saturday!
