Saturday Snapshots #6




Watch the birdie!

Ten pics, ten clues to ten great tunes. Can you identify them?


10. He waits for a heartbreaker at the disco, talking to Robin a lot.


9. The indigenous people of northern Europe like long jazz, Dallas and horror films.

 
8. Flying over the channel to Switzerland, Israel and California.


7. Don't take Huey Lewis to town, not like Siouxsie did.


6. Keeping you safely in one lane, like the preachers with an empty tank.

(I'll be pretty damned impressed if anyone gets that.)


5. Dylan Thomas loses his milk. Don't stop: duplicity ahead!


4. Satan wants a satellite - can Jack's southern brother help?


3. Girls from paradise go goth.


2. Venerable Batman can't iron, just like a Red (not Green) Arrow.


1. A nice Yorkshire greeting shouted across the Atlantic.


Answers as soon as you've earned them.

    5 - Carrie Underwood as in Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood with Before he Cheats
    4 - I think 4 is the Allman Brothers
    Not sure of the song - It's Not My Cross to Bear?
    Reference to Southern Cross and Jack Nicklaus - the Golden Bear perhaps?

      It's not the Allman Brothers.

    Too late for me too but I only had a few artists and not their songs... except for 3. Shangri Las - is it 'Dressed In Black'?

      We were probably typing it at exactly the same time, Chris. Just I'm a few miles nearer to Rol than you are so mine got there first ;-)

    So we're still looking for...

    9 - song

    8 - I thought that would go before 6.

    6 - I think we might need Brian's help.

    4 - more well known than a lot of the song here today.

    For No. 7 I see there's a Rubinoos song called Peek A Boo which could tie up with the Siouxsie reference due Banshees song of same name - so could that be the song? (though I can't unravel the clue!)

      Ah - you beat Brian to it. Well done.

      The first half of the clue is all about the band.

      Ahhhhh - Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town - very good! (I'd never have got it on my own)

    It's The Candy Man isn't it, because of the horror movie Candyman - I have actually watched it at some point but had forgotten about it.
