Saturday Snapshots #304


And the race is on! Every Saturday morning, you line up on the starting grid and try to get pole position on the Snapshots racetrack. But who will identify the ten pop stars below in time - and who will take top place on the podium for working out what connects their songs?

(Hint: it has nothing to do with motor racing.)

On your marks, get set... go!


10. Any owl can get mixed up with a dying salesman.

9. How Freddie Mercury got his mail delivered.

8. Rogue traders.

7. Dispose of your oracle.

6. Jocko Jeans.

5. Madonna's only just begun to feel W.O.L.D.

4. Plane company I don't want to fly with.

3. Sounds like what happens when the king's daughter gets involved with some old punk.

2. Archer, Model, Soldier...

1. Bob, Buzz and Bowl + 97.

If your car broke down in the pit stop, the answers will help you across the finish line tomorrow morning.

    10 is Waylon and Willie's 'Clean Shirt'. If the second part of the clue is a reference to Willie Loman you are getting far too erudite for this time on a Saturday

      I'll give you all a clue then. The old punk isn't pictured. (Although that might be obvious.)
