Saturday Snapshots #374 - A Top Ten 80s Songs (Year By Year)


This weekend on Snapshots, we took a trip back to the 80s... one year at a time. 


10. Short, mild Freud gets snarky.

The Freud in question was Clement (like mild weather), shortened to Clem. He's rather Snide.

Clem Snide - 1989

9. Do you confuse your arm with your nose?

Mix up the letters from "arm" and "nose" and you get...

The Ramones - Planet Earth 1988

8. Cheap Crystal.

Diamante - 1987

7. Aged Erny gets rather befuddled at times, doesn't he?

"Aged Erny" was an anagram in no way associated with any Ernies you might know who spell their names differently.

Green Day - 86

6. Knock over the minestrone cans.

Bowling For Soup - 1985

Arguably the best song ever written about the 1980s.

5. You may pick him up on Channel Two.

A lyric from Starman, as I'm sure you were aware...

David Bowie - 1984

4. Johnny Allen, also known as Buster.

Jimi's real name, and childhood nickname.

Jimi Hendrix Experience - 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)

3. Me Too, Dave Lee?

Is someone accusing the Hairy Cornflake of getting Randy?

Randy Travis - 1982

2. Fortunately, that photo of you with your tongue up against the door of the Dog & Duck won't last long.

The pub-lick image had a limited life span...

Public Image Limited - 1981

1. Anni bars Jock after he gets closer tonight... what an upset!

"Anni bars Jock" and "closer tonight" were both anagrams...

Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson - 1980


Get Back To The Future with more Snapshots next Saturday...

  1. I am not 86 years old (although some days it feels like it).

    Thank you for yet another top quality quiz.
