Saturday Snapshots #206


It's been a Skeleton Service this week here at My Top Ten due to the start of the new college year, but I'm still counting down to my new job, so hanging in there, because like an anti-Wyclef, I'll be gone by November.

Meanwhile, it's time to put on your X-ray Spex for another edition of Saturday Snapshots. Can you see through the clues below to identify ten famous artists... and then work out which of their songs are connected? 


10. Where Impartial Ernie stays, next door to 5.

9. Interesting snooker player, not a bad guy.

8. Middling racecar.

7. Stern nephew. Geddit?

6. Probably one of the places the Human League went on holiday.

5. Hotel for me and him.

4. I'm outraged by the price some petrol stations charge.

3. French Jim, not quite brill.

2. Sweet Home Alabama?

1. He covets lollies.


The answers will have developed by tomorrow morning.

      How specific is your answer CC, as I'm starting to doubt my hunch?

      Yes. And well done on not just saying Holland.

      I've learned quite a bit about the politics of the Netherlands while putting this post together...

      I read an excellent new book last year by Ben Coated called Why The Dutch Are Different - Explained a lot.

    Rotterdam by The Beautiful South - "The people are pickles for sure", my daughter's favourite line.
