Saturday Snapshots #200


Welcome to the Super 200th Anniversary edition of Saturday Snapshots. Man, have I got a quiz for you today! Not just ten, but TWENTY artists to identify... but can you guess what links all their songs? 

Even the Daily Planet's top journalists are struggling with this one...


20. Best not to drink.

19. Icky tumble.

18. Joyful quack.

17. Dunce caps all round.

16. Westlife chose not to use them.

15. Cinema soundtrack.

14. He's only semi-sorry.

13. Tie + ie.

12. Peculiarities.

11. Rodeo Channel.

10. Robert, Patti, Elliott.

9. Hull jotter.

8. Purple bloodvessel.

7. Made Idlewild laugh while they argued.

6. Hidden in the bedside table.

5. Copying answers from the rescue dog.

4. Reagan's chimp turns God around, zippity. 

3. Are you ready for your close-up?

2. Three cards, bust at 25. 

1. Cold determination... or desperation?


Can you read my mind? If not, the secret identities will be revealed tomorrow morning...

    Yes, congratulations on the 200th edition. Part of my Saturday morning routine for nearly four years now and I was late for this one!

    As for a link, could it be an obtuse one - Different emotions?

      Sorry obtuse not the right word there. You know what I mean.

    Is the link people's names in a song title?

  24. Alyson31 July 2021 at 09:56

    Is it that the songs have been written about a specific man?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Alyson31 July 2021 at 09:58

    Is it that they've all had songs that have then been used for the name of another band?

      Ah, could it be (The) Kooks?

    5. C31 July 2021 at 14:24

      Or Fashion?! (And I've just been thinking, so many of Bowie's songs would make great band names even if they aren't! There should surely be a Cygnet Committee, or the Diamond Dogs, or the Jean Genies, don't you think?)

      The Kooks was the one I was thinking of.

      No... more well known band than that... but perhaps a less well-known Simple Minds track.

    Is number 14 around Stephen Patrick?
    A quick squint at albums suggest the spawned band name could be Ordinary Boys
