Saturday Snapshots #151 - The Answers


Following the appearance by Doctor Jones ("the dog was called Indiana") on yesterday's Snapshots, I thought it would be nice to lead today with a woman who could always drink him under the table: Marion Ravenwood, aka Karen Allen. She was pretty good at dealing with Starmen too.

Here are this week's answers...


10. The first book of "Oy! I was watching that!"


The first book was Genesis.

Genesis - Turn It On Again

I'm not sure I can get behind the current yoof attempt to rehabilitate Collins, but Turn It On Again is still a cracking tune.

9. Smug tribes with Spanish heart.


Smug tribes is an anagram.

Corazón is Spanish for heart.

Tim Burgess - Oh My Corazón

8. Fictional world - anagram rejected on grounds of taste & decency.


I could not bring myself to come up with an anagram for Bucks Fizz.

Before you accuse me of scraping the barrel, Bucks Fizz will always have a special place in my heart as the band that encouraged my sexual awakening. This track is just pure cheese though...

Bucks Fizz - The Land of Make Believe 

7. High ranking Smurf priest seeks release.


Father Abraham becomes a Colonel.

Colonel Abrams - Trapped

6. Bird & Davies choose their favourite ice cream dessert.


Dickie Bird & Dickie Davies, sports fans!

The Dickies - Banana Splits

5. If you knew she married Bruce, it'd set your temperature soaring.


If you knew Peggy Sue... got married... to Bruce Lee... it'd give you a fever.

Peggy Lee - Fever

4. Powerful sweets, back to front.


The Mighty Lemon Drops - Inside Out

3. Like Williams with a Bad Attitude, lost on a mad stream.


Robbie Williams meets B.A. Robertson...

Robbie Robertson - Somewhere Down The Crazy River

2. Paltry cuts ban central haulage.


Paltry cuts = Petty Nicks.

The centre is the heart. Haulage is dragging things around.

Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks - Stop Dragging My Heart Around

1. Walking the dog on Lakeland Fells makes you realise what a beautiful planet this is.


Rufus Thomas went Walking The Dog.

Alfred Wainwright wrote lots of books about walking in the Lake District.




More next week.
