My Top Ten: Saturday Snapshots #172

"Will there be pics of cuddly lickle kitty-kats next Saturday?" Lynchie asked last week.

Not on Saturday, no.

The link this week was pretty easy, I thought. No apologies for featuring REM two weeks running... those are the rules now.

A TOP TEN HURT SONGS

10. Smiley society.

Smiley Culture's Club?

Boy George let himself go a few years back, but he's looking pretty sharp now.

9. Short record player found in awards ceremony bathroom.

Gramophone, shortened, in the loo at the Emmys.

8. Freezing factory.

7. Empty method, end in a bra.

A method is a way. If it's empty, it's hollow.

Put end in bra and you get Br-end-a.

Or...

Or...

Blimey. Brenda had a lot of hurt.

6. Light sleep, vivid dreams.

That would be REM sleep.

5. Smelly Spider-Man.

"Skunk Anansie" is taken from Akan folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier". Or smellier.

4. Grounded since 2003.

The Concorde was grounded in 2003.

I'm crying tears of a rapper...

3. Anchorman college jump.

Anagram!

(Makes those Robert Palmer videos everybody complained about look tame.)

2. Distant Arnold.

Another anagram!

1. Paycheck not accepted for lengthy manicure.

If Johnny won't use a paycheck for his Nine Inch Nail, I guess he'll have to pay Cash.

Don't hurt too much - Saturday Snapshots will be back to soothe your pain next week... maybe with added cuddly lickle kitty-kats, who can say?
