Summertime and the living is easy. Perhaps not as easy as you lot keep proving the answers to Saturday Snapshots to be...
I think Rigid Digit took it again this week. I tried to mix it up a bit by changing the start time. Maybe next week I'll start it at 5am and see who's up then (Brian?). Well done to the rest of you who worked hard on the rest though - the winner isn't always the one who gets up first and nabs the easy ones. The true winners are the ones who work at hard the tougher ones... sometimes discovering answers involving bands you've never heard of (so top marks to Alyson for #6).
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by how many Captain & Tennille fans there are reading this blog. Or maybe just people who once they've seen The Captain... have had many, many sleepless nights as a result.
10. Young Strummer wasn't a pretty boy - and he didn't think much of you either.
Joe must have been an ugly kid?
Ugly Kid Joe - (I Hate) Everything About You

7. She's electric - a faux murder mixes with no mutants.
Hole guitarist goes solo... and sounds better for it.
"a faux murder" is an anagram of her surname... minus the X (for mutants).

6. Father John takes Pee Wee's place to date a lady plasterer cum brain surgeon.
Father John = Misty.
Pee Wee went on a Big Adventure.

5. Steve Rogers unites with Young, Diamond, Tennant, Hannon, Finn, Armstrong, Gaiman, Kinnock, Patrick-Harris and Sedaka. Again!
Steve Rogers is Captain America.
Those are ten Neils.
If you think that picture's scary... watch the video!

(Look, Boys of Summer would have been too easy.)
1. Is this Morrissey's moggy? If so, I'll shoot it.
Cat? Steven's! I'm gonna get me a gun...
Why doesn't this ever get played on the radio anymore? It's much better than Father & Son...
More next week... unless The Captain has come for his revenge.
That Captain & Tennille clue is a work of devilish genius. I think you should receive some sort of national award for it!
ReplyDeleteI find out about new bands here every week and it turns out I quite like Misty's Big Adventure.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by at 12:45AM my time and was surprised snapshots wasn't up yet. I knew four by the photos this week. Rare, indeed. Your ten Neils was such a big smile when I woke up Saturday morning. Congratulations to RD and the other participants. Always good fun.
