Saturday Snapshots #74 - The Answers



Well, did you Get Lucky with yesterday's clues? Of course you did. And if you didn't, no need stare at the Blurred Lines on the photos below anymore... because her come this week's answers.

Very busy morning yesterday and my head is too full of man-flu to work out the winner, but I suspect Alyson may have nabbed it.


10. Sean Connery's famous last words to the whole school.


Sean Connery said he'd never make another Bond film, then he made one called Never Say Never Again.

If you're speaking to the whole school, you may be in an assembly.

The Assembly - Never Never

9. Indisputably, you're dating a mutant.


No Doubt - Ex-Girlfriend

I should possibly steer clear of comic-related clues... or at least steer clear of expecting you all to have a detailed knowledge of Gwen Stefani hits.

8. Put your arms out to create a great barrier.


Great Barrier Reef, obviously.

Reef - Place Your Hands

Still sounds great.

7. Euphemistic vicar betrayal is illegal.


"Judas Priest!" is a euphemism for "Jesus Christ!"

Jesus was betrayed by Judas.

A priest is like a vicar.

Breaking the law is illegal.

Judas Priest - Breaking The Law

Video of the week!

(Charity Chic identified them despite claiming to have none in his collection. And yet I could have sworn I saw him coming out of the RSPCA shop in Arbroath with a copy of British Steel stuffed in a brown paper bag.)

6. Paid thief, less repentant than Frank.


Paid thief is an anagram.

Frank sang, "Regrets - I've had a few..." but this lady has none.

Edith Piaf - Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien

5. Henpecked deity with custard.


Godley & Creme would be under the thumb if they were henpecked.

Godley & Creme - Under Your Thumb

4. Clyde was an orangutan, not...


This is Clyde...


He's an orangutan, not a gorilla.

Who's that with him?


The Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood

3. Equitable harbour: that's just the way things are done when you're getting together with Cliff.


An equitable harbour would be a fair port.

The way things are done is a convention.

If you were getting together with cliff, you might meet on the ledge.

Fairport Convention - Meet On The Ledge

Playing a festival near George this summer, co-headlining with Judas Priest.

2. A skinny thousand for the mad monk.


Oh, those Russians!

Boney M - Rasputin

1. I'll take mine padded... although the sheets may be dirty.


A padded cell with be a soft one.

Yes, the sheets may be dirty in a bed-sitter... but dirty sheets are often tainted by love. (Sorry.)




Guess what... Saturday Snapshots will be back next week for our 75th anniversary edition! Happy now?

My Top Ten Bathtime Songs


Sam does love bathtime. It's the highlight of his day... after eating and pooping.

Here's ten songs to bathe in...


10. No Doubt - Bathwater

I did prefer Gwen Stefani before she became so big and full of herself.

9. The Wonder Stuff - 30 Years In The Bathroom

And you think your other half spends a long time in the bath! Imagine if you lived with Miles Hunt...
And now the time has come to share the joke
That the latch on the bathroom door is broke
And now it's time to let you know
That it's only the beat of my heart that is slow
Who's fault is this? I deny that it's mine
I been stuck in here since 1959
That's 30 good years in the bathroom baby
8. God Help The Girl - Pretty Eve In The Tub

Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch was found lurking outside this lady's bathroom making suggestive remarks through the steamed up window. 

7. The Beatles - She Came In Through The Bathroom Window

As part of the majestic opera that is Side 2 of Abbey Road, this is Lennon & McCartney at their most amazing. Doesn't really work outside that context though.

6. The Divine Comedy - Bath

Only Neil Hannon could begin a song with a quote from the bible, followed by a lengthy string quartet intro, the lines "Rub-a-dub-dub, it's time for a scrub"... before going on to tell us of Ophelia's last day on earth. If you call that pretentious, you don't understand genius.

5. Bobby Darin - Splish Splash

We sang this to Sam quite a lot to encourage enjoyment in his earliest bathtime adventures. The cheesier side of rock 'n' roll: good, clean fun.

4. Tindersticks - Bathtime

Stuart Staples, the world's greatest pub-singer, gets filthy in the city and needs to clean up his act. 

3. Harry Nilsson - Bath
I'm beginning to think there's hope for the human race...
Steady on, Harry...

2. The Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom

Ska classic. Great beat, don't try to make sense of the lyrics.
Can I take you to a restaurant
That's got glass tables?
You can watch yourself
While you are eating
1. The Real Tuesday Weld - Bathtime In Clerkenwell

I think it's fair to say there's nothing else like this track on this Top Ten... or anywhere else in the known universe. No idea what it's about or where it came from, but it sounds like the best bathtime ever...




Which one makes you want to take a soak?
