Short for time this week, so here's a quick run through, with the usual thanks...
(Apologies if anyone got the title of #6 after 7pm last night... I was in bed by then!)
10. No need to change gear for Dr. Frankenstein.
If you're in a car and you don't need to change gear, it'll be an automatic.
Dr. Frankenstein created a Monster.
The Automatic - Monster
First point of the week to Martin.
9. Speaking of whom, Tarzan's father got snowed in.
Not a lot of imagination went into the title part of this clue, but the artist...
Tarzan was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein
(You ask me, Edgar Winter is way scarier than Frankenstein's Monster.)
Point to CC.
8. Relocation by hymn, tapestry and pudding (almost).
Hymn = carol.
Bayeux tapestry.
Sago is a pudding.
Carole Bayer Sager - You're Moving Out Today
Martin pieced that one together.
7. Telstar on my mind - get off!
Telstar was a satellite.
Georgia on my mind.
Get off!
The Georgia Satellites - Keep Your Hands To Yourself
Another point for Martin.
Great song. Good to see Rigid Digit agrees.
6. French hoist suffers a great loss. (TWO points if anybody gets this one without cheating.)
French hoist is indeed Les Crane!
Kudos to Martin for working that out.
The Latin for loss is Desiderata.
More on this tomorrow!
5. Pale coloured vehicles (x3).
A point shared by Martin and Brian. No further explanation needed.
The Pastels - Truck, Train, Tractor
4. Very soft ladies, hard to find in a barn.
Soft ladies would be made of velvet.
A needle in a haystack would be hard to find in a barn.
Well done, Alyson.
The Velvelettes - Needle In A Haystack
3. An alternative to a big star.
Alternative = replacement
Big Star was the band of Alex Chilton (well, after the Box Tops)
The Replacements - Alex Chilton
The rest of you should just be glad that Martin stays in bed till the afternoon most Saturdays.
2. Good afternoon, Batgirls.
This was one of those clues where I didn't want to over-egg the pudding. Originally it was something like "Good afternoon from Japan, Batgirls and Dog Ladies", but really... you didn't need all that. Well, Martin didn't, anyway.
Robyn - Konichiwa, Bitches
1. Davis & Coltrane made lots of this.
John Coltrane
Miles Davis
John Miles - Music
My favourite clue this week, gave early riser CC no problems. George would have got there too if he'd set his alarm earlier.
Congrats to Martin. I like the way we seem to have a different winner every week.
More snapshots next Saturday. More on Les Crane tomorrow.
