Saturday Snapshots #130 - The Answers


After Kurt yesterday, it made sense to feature Goldie today. That's Private Benjamin to you.

Answers, please...


10. Christ, Tom! I'm in a contemporary place.


Jesus, Tom Jones! Contemporary = right now, the place I'm in is right here.

Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now

9. Euthanasia request for seven, all across the country.


#7... see below. (Congratulations to new player, Iain, for getting the song right.)

All across the country is national.

The National - Murder Me, Rachael

Maybe not their best-known tune, but it's always been my favourite.

8. Frankie's pal gets caught in a storm and winds up bashing his head open in the rapids.


Frankie & Johnny + Hurricane = Red River Rocks.

6. Head of Bangkok reads frank diary while singing to a boy.


Murray Head sang One Night In Bankok.

Anne Frank kept a diary.

Danny Boy is the song.

Anne Murray - Danny's Song

That is aural perfection.

5. Marvin's singing grapes escape.


The Vines - Get Free

4. The best part of a chicken climbs to the top.


"The term supreme. used in cooking, refers to the best part of the food."

That's post-Diana Ross.

3. Jenny Agutter is a delight.


Jenny Agutter was one of the Railway Children.

The Railway Children - A Pleasure

2. It's been a long time since... I felt like things were normal and as they should be.


It's been a long time since I rock 'n' rolled, sang Led Zep.

Things being normal is the status quo... or it used to be, anyway.

Status Quo - Rock 'n' Roll

1. Trendy Hendrix musings about Washington.


"Trendy Hendrix musings" is an anagram.

  2. Dedicated to Rol

    "Thank you for the quizzes, especially this one
    Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
    Who can live without them? I ask in all honesty
    What would life be?
    Without a song or a quiz, what are we?
    So I say thank you for the quizzes
    For giving them to me."

    (to the tune of "Thank You for the Music" by ABBA
