Saturday Snapshots #174


If you're thinking of taking the Chevy to the Levy this Saturday morning, I have two warnings for you.

1) The Levy is dry.

2) The police are probably waiting there to prosecute you for going out without proper reason.

Far safer to stay home and play the NEW Saturday Snapshots.

Remember, the clues below are only to the artists. But all the songs are connected. Work out the connection and you can work out the songs. Easy! 



10. Learning to read on the hifi.

9. Saltwater dynamite.

8. A fop perturbs.

7. What made Elvis the Pelvis?

6. Have you got the stomach for this?

5. Over abundant.

4. A younger android, but still paranoid (almost).

3. Charming.

2. Is that... a fake lager, Rhys?

1. Expensive.


I'll Fletch you the answers tomorrow morning...

      Or maybe it's Smiths-era Moz, with Shoplifters of the World Unite

    So the INXS track for 5 must be Listen Like Thieves.

      It's been a busy week for Hipsway and the Honeythief around here - Their ears will be burning.

    That was quick - Very late to the party and nothing left by the looks of it. Good on Brian for staying up late, two weeks in a row.

    Number 3 is NOT Morrissey.

    Quite the opposite...

      It's not The Smiths either.

      It's a female isn't it?

      No. But he's very popular with the ladies.

      Well, that's embarrassing... but I'm relieved, because I wasn't really happy pitching a song without a thief in the title. And I was wondering why you'd left Prince out. Clearly I need to do this on a bigger screen (and/or get new glasses)

    All titles for the connections in this quiz so far. Lyrical references might become a thing if it gets too easy...
