Saturday Snapshots #78 - The Answers


Hello.

It's Sunday morning. Whether you spent Saturday night Chasing Pavements or Rolling In The Deep, chances are you were also wondering about the answers to Saturday Snapshots.

Well, wonder no more... here they are! Someone Like You probably scored ten out of ten... but the prize this week has to be split between Charity Chic and Walter but both managed to score a solid three points. Alyson was a valiant runner up. Well done, guys. One message to you all though, from The Stranger...



10. Emperor found in centre of loch.


Welcome along to new player, Ramone666, who correctly identified the band. As to the Emperor...

Rosko?

Midlake - Roscoe 

9. Colour-changing muck monster.


This is a Swamp Thing.


The Chameleons - Swamp Thing

8. Too Loo, etc = devour them before they devour you!


It was an anagram!

I always like to ponder over which will be the first one answered each week. CC jumped straight in with this one yesterday, proving his superior knowledge of the Toto Coelo discography.

Toto Coelo - I Eat Cannibals

Saturday Snapshots - the quiz with no shame!

7. Firm of solicitors headed by an electrician win lottery.


Alyson guessed the obvious track - Fanfare For The Common Man.

CC bemoaned the fact that ELP had recorded more than one song. I actually prefer Lucky Man to Fanfare.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man

6. Backwards eel found in comic with burning bollocks. (Apologies to those of you who dislike foul language.)


A backwards eel would be Lee.

Jerry Lewis was a comic.

Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire

(Too easy.)

5. The Undertones sang it twice, on a stool, in cocktail town.


The Undertones sang Jimmy Jimmy.

A stool is another word for a buffet.

Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville

I do love that song.

4. Mouse & Bell Jar: Olev.


Mickey Mouse & Sylvia Plath (who wrote The Bell Jar).

Olev is love, strangely.

Mickey & Sylvia - Love Is Strange

Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

3. New York's finest love you and leave you.


Lynchie arrived late to save the day with this one.

This has got to be the saddest day of my life...

The Manhattans - Kiss & Say Goodbye

2. Shergar & Red Rum eat Elliott's burger.


Elliott Smith & a burger patty.

Patti Smith - Horses

9 minutes of utter mentalosity!

1. Number One profanity, Elton + Hugh.


Elton John.

Hugh Grant.

Too easy.

More profanities... but not quite as offensive as the one C suggested.



Remember: you could be laughing 65% more of the time!

Saturday Snapshots will return next week. (Add your own Skyfall pun here.)

My Top Ten Gluttony Songs (Seven Deadly Sins #2)


The Seven Deadly Sing Songs continues...

Gluttony comes second. As greed is third, and the two are somewhat intertwined, I've tried to draw a line between them. Chances are, if you don't hear it here, I saved it for the Greed Top Ten. Gluttony songs tended to be more about overdoing it...

Special mention to INXS, naturally. 


10. Toto Coelo - I Eat Cannibals

The 17th biggest selling single of 1983... in South Africa.

That seems pretty gluttonous to me.

9. Marianne Faithfull - Gluttony

Marianne tells the story of a model who loves to eat but signs a contract to stay slim...
There's no market for hippos in Philadelphia!
You'll have to take my word as youtube's never heard of it.

8. Ash - Palace of Excess
Dancing with the trustafarian girls...
Yes, I had to google "trustafarian". But it fits.


Get well soon, Lemmy!
Eat the Rich: there's only one thing they're good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich: don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
Eat the Rich: that's my idea of a good time baby
Verges on the Greed Top Ten, but I chose to include it here.

6. Hey, Elastica! - Eat Your Heart Out

From 1982, in case you were thinking they were saying hello to Justine Frischmann.

See also Eat Your Heart Out by Dio which is also from the early 80s but might as well be from a different planet.

5. Art Brut - Just Desserts

Whenever Eddie gets hurt, he skips dinner and has a big dessert...
I know I should take better care of my health 
But when I'm down, vegetables don't help...
4. Jellyfish - Glutton of Sympathy

I know this probably gets boring, but I can't help it: this song is 20 years old.

Now I'm officially depressed.Not enough to eat a Jellyfish though.

3. Ben Folds - All U Can Eat
Son, look at all the people in this restaurant
What d'you think they weigh?
And out the window to the parking lot
At their SUVs taking all of the space
You know the sort of people he's singing about.

2. Peter Gabriel - Big Time  
Hi there! 
Peter overdoes it in every area of his life... his belly's getting bigger - and his bank account.
My parties have all the big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
And always they're amazed
When I show them round the house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
1. Buckcherry - Gluttony

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Also: ROCKS.

From the new album Confessions which features a song for each of the 7 deadly sins. We may return to that at a later date. No promises. 



Please, sir, can you have some more?
