Saturday Snapshots #303

The Lord Chamberlain commands you to enjoy this week's edition of Snapshots... but why are there 17 clues instead of 10? Actually, the number isn't important... but all the songs are linked by a specific theme. I just needed a few more than ten to do it justice.

(Kil)Dare you have a go?


17. Severe.

16. University club for disco and ballroom.

15. Mix-up at Omani Diner.

14. Man in the box.

13. Shared by Omar Sharif and Tanita Tikaram.

12. The answers always come on...

11. Don and Clyde follow Postlethwaite.

10. Janet needs a snooze.

9. The best and the worst.

8. Mercury on a car's wing.

7. Easter eccentric.


6. Found Inside A Clockwork Orange.

5. Shot from the heart.

4. Fashionable man in the news.

3. Big softies.

2. Don't cry over spilled oil, Grace.


1. Luke, Flash and Buck. 


Answers tomorrow morning, which will be just the right time for them.

      I'm a recent convert (to my own great surprise) and strongly disagree, George!

    This is a real long shot, but could it be anything to do with lines from The Lord's Prayer?

      Wow! Very impressive, I would never have worked that out. But where's Randy Travis then?

      Haha, thanks, surprised myself there, heathen that I am.

    Morning all! I thought I’d be way too late (well, I am for the theme at least) but glad to see a few left to guess.

    I’d recognise Luke Steele anywhere. More of an Empire Of The Sun fan to be honest but 10) is Sleepy Jackson.

    And 1) is Spacemen 3 (nicely done, Rol)
