Saturday Snapshots #135 - The Answers



Yep. We're all stuck in Groudhog Day. Never mind - here are yesterday's answers.

Thanks for playing, as always.


10. Undertones' Buffet will leave you stuffed... dead centre.


The Undertones sang about Jimmy Jimmy... but not Jimmy Buffet, I presume.

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

9. Ankara baby conductor.


A conductor is a lightning rod.

Ankara babies would be Young Turks.

Rod Stewart - Young Turks

No, Rod, that doesn't sound anything like Electric Dreams.

8. Alan: deathtrap endorser, for Jack or Kirk.


Alan: deathtrap endorser is an anagram. What else could it be?

Jack and Kirk were both captains of ships.

Reparata & The Delrons - Captain Of Your Ship

7. Loitering with a binge of many noises.


A binge of many noises would be a polyphonic spree.

Polyphonic Spree - Hanging Around The Day

6. Mixed up deal, with spirit = HEY PR3STO!


Mixed up deal = De la. Spirit is soul.

Hey Pr3sto is a magic phrase with a 3 in it.

De La Soul - 3 Is The Magic Number

5. Don't run with nuns, Tommy left her broken-hearted.


Don't run with scissors, sisters!

Tommy left Laura broken-hearted in Tell Laura I Love Her.

The Scissor Sisters - Laura

4. Proof that Bob Dylan can't spell... the Earth's in a lot of trouble.


Just checking if anybody read Friday's post as there was quite a big clue there. (Coincidentally.)

John Wesley Hardin was an outlaw from the Old West who Bob Dylan named his eighth studio album after, adding a g to the end of his name.

Wesley Stace (above) adopted Dylan's spelling as his stage name.

John Wesley Harding - The World And All Its Problems

3. Spy R-ed, be proud.


That's a secret AGENT... with an R in the middle.

Argent - Hold Your Head Up

2. The devil's truly in Reed's wine.


Lou Reed's vin = Louvin.

Satan is Real!

The Louvin Brothers - Satan Is Real

1. Hoping someone will come up with one real soon... so I won't weep.


We're all just waiting for The Cure.

But Boys Don't Cry.

Imagine if Robert Smith just looked like an ordinary lad!



Hopefully none of those got Lost In Translation.

More next Saturday.
