If you're going out this weekend, don't go out. I mean, you can go out, but don't. Stay alert. If you're going out. Or if you're not. But don't go out. Even though you don't have to stay indoors. So you can go out. But don't go out.
Hopefully this week's Saturday Snapshots weren't quite so confusing...
10. Oy, Arnold (on Dover Beach), aka Ralph-like.
"Aka Ralph-like" was an anagram.
Matthew Arnold wrote On Dover Beach. (What? I'm an English teacher.)
Karel Fialka - Hey, Matthew!
I have to admit, that song used to annoy the shit out of me when I was a teenager. What kind of pop star gets his bloody kid to witter all through the song? I kind of appreciate it a little more now I'm a dad.
9. Crowned on 42, 59 & 110... sounds like a heartbreaker.
Dionne Warwick sang Heartbreaker.
42nd, 59th and 110th are all streets in New York (musical ones, at that).
Dion - King of the New York Streets
(Great to hear that again.)
8. Saint, on the Sabbath, brings deity down to earth.
Joan of Arc meets the lead singer of Black Sabbath...
Joan Osborne - (What If God Was) One Of Us
7. CIA junior headquarters finds a brilliant new hobby (with Hermits).
The headquarters of the CIA is in Langley, Virginia. The junior HQ would presumably be in a high school.
A brilliant new hobby would be getting into something good, just like Herman's Hermits sang.
The Langley Schools Music Project - I'm Into Something Good
(If you've never heard that before, I'd recommend giving the whole album a spin.)
6. Johnny shouts Hey! to the lorry driver and causes a crash that sounds like where #10 came from.
Johnny Cash shouted Hey Porter!
The lorry driver is a wagoner.
The singer in #10 sounds like a Carol. Where might he come from? What if there was a crash there?
Porter Wagoner - The Caroll County Accident
5. A Wainwright double negative.
Rufus was the Wainwright.
Ain't Nobody was the double negative.
Rufus (yes, yes, with Chaka Khan, yes) - Ain't Nobody
4. Pours... just like the guy below.
The guy below was in Orange Juice.
Oran 'Juice' Jones - The Rain
3. Swollen Cyndi lures rats with romance.
"Swollen Cyndi" is an unfortunate anagram.
The Pied Piper lured the rats away with magic, not love.
Edwyn Collins - The Magic Piper Of Love
2. Mr. White's nightwear identifies #1 missing person.
Mr. White was Harvey Keitel. In his PJs.
The missing person in the #1 photo this week was the Beach Boy who wasn't a Wilson brother (he was their cousin): Mike Love. Al Jardine was also missing, in case you're a pedant.
PJ Harvey - This Is Love
1. Triple your enjoyment on the shore, lads.
I'm sure this one was pretty self-explanatory...
Stay indoors until next Saturday when there will be more Snapshots heading your way. Unless you're going out...
I got the "Heartbreaker" clue confused with the name of the song, cos I recognised Dion straight away from the photo. "Runaround Sue" was a heartbreaker, so that could've been a correct answer too.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make sense? If it doesn't, I'm probably going doolally.
Very disturbed by that pic at the top today!
ReplyDeleteThanks as always, great clues.
