Saturday Snapshots #29


Leave your toys in the attic this Saturday morning - come play snapshots instead!

Identify 10 artists and 10 songs from the clues below...


10. Oy! Rossiter! This is what James Bond might drink on the dark side of the moon.


9. Bounce! Mrs. McCartney loses a: rare grown-up caterpillar.


8. Women can be just like Van Halen. Crying Clitheroe or Weeping Watford?


7. Split up with your lad? Don't turn a drama into a Cold War crisis.


6. Not Chubby Checker. Not New Order.


5. I'm overjoyed that you put everything you had into this.


4. Make a big fuss while searching for Wonder Woman.


3. The next best thing to your daily song about Slash.


2. Swimsuits murder a song about Princess Leia.

      No, I was struggling - I have their "Greatest Hits" and they looked familiar but it didn't click. Well done.

    The guy in the middle of pic No. 5 is just so familiar but the grey matter letting me down today - Will kick myself.

    I've redeemed myself - No 9 is Elusive Butterfly by Bob Lind.

      From the clues of course - I knew the song and to bounce is to bob and the first Mrs McC was Linda.

      Oh goodness - My Christmas Day post was all about this song and this band yet still I didn’t recognise them or get the clue!

      Just goes to show that with these older bands we can know their music well but not necessarily know what they look like - Really kicking myself.

    6 is Fats Domino - "Blue Monday". (a fine cryptic clue there!)

    Apologies to Rigid Digit who got the Fats Domino clue first. D'oh!

    No 1 I think must be the Bluetones (mixing up Blue Note) but haven't a clue about the song... thinking of Bill Hicks though, could it be something with Revelations or Relentless in it?

      No, you got the title right. But they have ANOTHER song named after a Bill Hicks routine...

      Oh no, and I thought I was being so smart ;-)
