Saturday Snapshots #139


To make up for the ugly dudes in yesterday's post, here's a very handsome chap to welcome you into your Saturday morning. Elvis may now have featured here as many times as Debbie Harry... and don't you think they'd make the perfect couple. Uh huh. Thankyouverymuch.

Here's this week's clues. Try and unpick them to reveal singers and songs, please.


10. Hot, fashionable vinyl clicks a clapperboard.


9. The most beautiful hairdresser I ever heard... but build like a stone.


8. First letter to where Sonny died... off we trot once more.


7. Back when we used to bop like #2... and shag like an operatic solo.


6. Mr. T shoots racist marmalade.


(In case you're wondering, no, that's not Rob Brydon.)

5. Third Scarborough herb for George... in shaky property.


4. Staple found in the middle of Elvis - I'm just saying.


3. Smoking hedge partner sets fire to jungle - call George! (Not that George.)


2. Ellen zipped by like a Foreigner tune.


1. Top crying from conquering crow.


Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, right? Well, some of them...

    Right that's my lot too - I'm off to celebrate my big birthday now but Saturdays Snapshots was my first stop of the day. Plans all out the window now, so it seems I will turn the big 60 with family and friends on Zoom. What a year.

      9, 8, 7, 4, 3 still up for grabs.

  12. FurryBootsCityBoy6 June 2020 at 10:04

    Well, I know Aaron is Elvis' middle name, so 4 has to be Aaron Neville and the song "Tell It Like It Is"

      I was thinking: a match, a tinderbox but after a little bit of cheating I see that it’s probably something else. Still time for others to get it though.

    Sonny Bono died whilst skiing at Lake Tahoe but not sure if it’s the Sonny you refer to if that info would fit the clue for No. 8?

    PS Sorry again for hijacking Snapshots this week but I have had a really lovely day and it all started here.

    #3 is Tiny Spark. Stumped on 7 and 8. Does 7 have Aria in it? Does 8 have anything to do with Tahoe?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Rol6 June 2020 at 20:53

    Yes to both. 7 has a naughty word in it. 8 has a band name that's impossible to google.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Rol6 June 2020 at 20:55

    The band in 7 is named after a song by #2.

    Mrs. Brian for both (love the brainteasers)

    Wow. Mrs. Brian obviously thinks just like me.

    That must be scary for you, Brian!

    Just had the loveliest lockdown birthday and now I return to find that all 10 Snapshots have been solved, yet again courtesy of Mrs Brian it seems. Well done. I shall now retire confident in the knowledge this day has no loose ends. Doesn’t get much better than that.

      Thanks for the birthday wishes Brian and you know what, despite lockdown, I enjoyed my 60th a lot more than my 40th. Different stages in life an’ all that. Well done on completing this weeks quiz along with your good wife. I’m well impressed.
