I just read that in the early 70s, Charles Bronson was the world's Number One Box Office Star. I find that incredible to believe... but not as incredible as you guys not solving the Snapshots.
Here are this week's candy-coloured solutions...
10. Hoarse or Wonder Horse?
Hoarse would be gruff. Champion The Wonder Horse was a Super Furry Animal. As is a Candylion.
9. Utopian lion.
Anagram!
8. Where the Elephant Man likes to swim.
John Hurt was the Elephant Man. He likes to swim in the Mississippi.
Mississippi John Hurt - Candy Man Blues
7. Juvenile boing!
A Teen spring.
Bruce Springsteen - Candy's Room
6. Bomb-loving doctors.
Doctor Strangelove, the movie, was also known as Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
The Strangeloves - I Want Candy
The original version of this, which I would have included, except it has appeared here before.
5. Dirty copper and his alter ego get tangled up with a Scottish octopus.
The Dirty Copper would be Detective Harry Calahan, aka Clint Eastwood. The Scottish Octopus would be Mc-Ock.
Harry McClintock - Big Rock Candy Mountain
See what I did there?
4. Yo, Boris, Ron says you're all mixed up.
"Yo, Boris, Ron" was an anagram.
Or you could have had "the candy coloured clown the call the Sandman"...
3. Lost Cleo joins a 10CC Army.
Lost Cleo is an anagram... for Costello.
Ten CC Army is an anagram... for McCartney.
Elvis Costello & Paul McCartney - So Like Candy
2. Cream Soda & Morgan's child.
Cream Soda is pop. Morgan's child would be Piers' son.
Iggy Pop & Kate Pierson - Candy
Classic lost Iggy tune... although it's hard to believe he ever had a haircut like Bryan Adams.
1. Listen to the wind blow... on the Mother & Child Reunion.
"Listen to the wind blow..." is the opening lyric to The Chain.
The mother and child were Mary and Jesus.
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Some Candy Talking
Unless you've got a Death Wish, make sure you join me back here next Saturday morning for more Snapshots...
A tough one this week, but it all makes sense when you read the answers!
