Saturday Snapshots #127



One is not amused with these Saturday Snapshots at all. 127 weeks, and you haven't even featured Freddie Mercury's band once? Orf wiv their 'eads!

Ten clues below which should lead you to ten artists and ten tunes. Sorry, no Bohemian Rhapsody this week, ma'am.


10. Carla Thomas = The Mighty Wah.


9. Ditto, like one member of an Ohio band.


8. Young Jack Kerouac expresses surprise at Go-Betweens album.


7. Laugh and wake because it's no longer day.


6. Pretty dixie single-hander.


5. At the start of the year, Pearl got a new partner in a swell town.


4. Plane ticket, date unspecified, and cry forward.


3. Lodestone influences patriarchal bronco contest.




2. Replacement, comes on knocking.


1. Forever tomorrow, minor 5th.


Answers tomorrow - by royal decree.

    10. The Equals - can't figure the song. Carla Thomas sang "Tramp" and that's all I have.

    No 1 - it’s either someone from the 50s or someone from the 80s. But who...

    Billy Fury or Morrissey!

      Erring towards a 50s icon myself but can fit them to the clue.

      Much self-kicking will be done.

      Morris Minor - Morrissey - Every Day Is Like Sunday. Not a 50s icon then.

      That picture contains a bit of an optical illusion. I thought it was taken from the back with him facing the docks (or whatever it is) but he is facing towards the camera - Same silhouette.

      I thought the same about the viewpoint and that it was taken from the back - great observation. Also just realised he shares Chris Isaak's profile!

      I had to blow it up to see that but yes, weird. The Chris Isaak quiff too although he tended to wear less sloppy clothes and was always quite sharp-dressed (but not like the ZZ Top boys).

    If you can get 10, you can get 9.

      What's The Equals song? Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys?

      Delete
    2. Rol14 March 2020 at 11:21

      I only know one Equals song.

      Carla Thomas didn't just do Tramp. The Mighty Wah didn't just so Story of the Blues.

  12. FurryBootsCityBoy14 March 2020 at 13:20

    Well then - Carla Thomas did B-A-B-Y, so it has to be "Baby Come Back"!

    Charity Chic has featured #3 & 7 at his site... pretty sure within the last year (unless I'm imagining things).
