In a week where I imagine most people want to Escape From New York... all because of some Big Trouble that started in Little China... let's hope we can all stay Deathproof.
The Thing is... it's time for more Saturday Snapshots. Identify ten songs and ten singers from the clues below, please...
10. Christ, Tom! I'm in a contemporary place.
9. Euthanasia request for seven, all across the country.
8. Frankie's pal gets caught in a storm and winds up bashing his head open in the rapids.
7. Candy girl wants you to move in.
6. Head of Bangkok reads frank diary while singing to a boy.
5. Marvin's singing grapes escape.
4. The best part of a chicken climbs to the top.
3. Jenny Agutter is a delight.
2. It's been a long time since... I felt like things were normal and as they should be.
1. Trendy Hendrix musings about Washington.
I'll be throwing the answers Overboard tomorrow morning.
4. Supremes - Aint No Mountain High Enough
ReplyDeleteWrong song. No Diana Ross.
DeleteThought that was Mary Wilson in the middle. River Deep Mountain High?
DeleteNope. Wasn't that Diana too?
DeleteUp The Ladder To The Roof
DeleteHi Rol, hope you are well and safe.
ReplyDelete1. Dexy's Midnight Runners - Geno
8. Johnny and the Hurricanes - "Red River Rock
ReplyDelete4. The Supremes - Ain' No Mountain High Enough
ReplyDelete1. Dexy's Midnight Runners - Geno
ReplyDeleteFantastic anagram - so many letters!
Delete7. Rachel Sweet - "Baby Let's Play House"
ReplyDelete2. Status Quo - can't figure the song. It's a very early band photo
ReplyDeleteOh my - of course. The two on the left are obvious now - was focussing on the chap in the middle.
DeleteSong clue is kn a lyric to another song by a different band with the same title.
Delete6. Anne Murray (Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok)
ReplyDeleteAnd from Anne Frank too. Only know Snowbird though and You Needed Me.
DeleteDamn Alyson - I was thinking Anne Murray and couldn't remember if she was on that musical soundtrack! Well done on that one!
DeleteI'm surprised you don't know the song in question. It's the best thing she ever did.
DeleteDanny's Song?
DeleteYes!
Delete6. Anne Murray - You Need Me
ReplyDeleteNope, not that one.
DeleteJust wanted to say, the world's gone to hell in a hand basket, but thanks to Rol for keeping this regular feature going. Makes it feel as if everything is still normal, if only for a short while.
ReplyDelete3. Something connected to the Railway Children I thought and yes, there is a band called The Railway Children.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Delete9: The National. I'm not very good at remembering their song names. Maybe Day I Die ?
ReplyDeleteIt's not one of their best known tunes, just my favourite. Now #7 has been identified, there's a clue in that.
DeleteAnother wild guess: Don't Swallow the Cap
DeleteThe National - Murder me Rachael
DeleteThank you, Iain, and welcome.
DeleteI'd like to use Rol's blog to say RIP Bill Withers (check out his fabulous duet with the late, great Bobby Womack on the best ever version of "It's All Over Now" It's on Youtube)
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy 71st Birthday to Richard Thompson.
I'm planning a Top Ten Bill songs for next week. And a Top Ten Fountains of Wayne songs too, sadly.
DeleteThat Womack and Withers duet is wonderful, thanks for sharing
DeleteChris - You're welcome. It's great to hear 2 soul men performing magic.
Delete10 Jesus Jones - Right Here Right Now
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you Right Here Right Now - You are usually one of the early birds!
DeleteStill working and pretty shattered - so had a long lie
DeleteConspiracy theorists take note - CC is telling a long lie!
DeleteA well-deserved long lie (is that a Scottish phrase) - Thanks for all you are doing.
Delete5 The Vines?
