This morning, I met the chairman of the 1922 committee, Sir Graham Brady.
We've agreed there will be a Saturday Snapshots quiz to be completed within the next 24 hours.
Identify the artists below, then work out what connects their songs. Before I'm out of a job.
10. Cleo’s partner does it in a more contemporary way.
9. Soggy shortbread.
8. Humble, hand-wringing clerk.
7. Join Astaire in disarray.
6. The sun’ll come out for a good man and a working bull.
5. Able to fly now that all appendages are complete again.
4. Phantom of the Opera gets frisky.
3. Ganymede, perhaps?
2. Cyril moans just like a slimy acorn.
1. The bridge in Sweden that hosts winter sports and rhythm.
I will remain as Snapshots host until a successor is chosen. Answers tomorrow morning.
8. Uriah Heep
ReplyDelete10. Bronski Beat
John Medd
That would be No. 1 John unless I've got Anthony Newley horribly wrong!
DeleteAnd no 2 (well, I recognised the woman)
ReplyDelete10. Anthony Newley
ReplyDeleteSeems like George could have cleaned up. If I'm allowed to try for No. 2, I think it's Carly Simon.
ReplyDeleteI only know those three. Not a clue about the link, even with some others identified
Delete4. Randy Crawford
ReplyDelete3 Big Moon
ReplyDelete7 Joe Satriani
ReplyDeleteCarly Simon and Bronski Beat both had hits called "Why?" - would that be it?
ReplyDeleteWhy does Ernie keep guessing the link?
Deleteis it because he's really you?
DeleteI don't have enough time to lead my own life, let alone anyone else's
Deletebut there's never been a sighting of you two together! I rest my case
DeleteIf the same person then the links would all be impossibly obscure so that Rol looks like a genius for coming up with them and I look like a genius for working them out
DeleteWhat he said.
DeleteIt's like we're two mouths speaking the same truth.
Also, if Ernie was me, he'd have got #5.
DeleteNo idea on 5 or 6. Would never have got 3 either.
DeleteGeorge knows #6. He's just not telling anyone.
Deleteis it Annie Lennox
DeleteOf course.
DeleteThere is a one-word song title common to the ones guessed so far. Might be the link or it might not, so I'll not jump in yet.
ReplyDeleteIt seems I was right, and Ernie got there first. Well done.
DeleteWell done both!
Delete9 as you probably all know is Limp Bizkit
ReplyDeletenot scary looking in that pic at all...
DeleteThe only scary thing about them is that Fred Durst has started dressing like Jimmy Saville.
