Saturday Snapshots #34


Does Your Mother Know you're looking at Saturday Snapshots again?

That's The Name Of The Game - identify ten artists and songs from the clues below.

Do I think you'll get them all right again?

I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do...


10. When Michael met Sinatra, Jake & Elwood dealt the cards.


9. Dame Judi Dench shares our collective obsession.


8. The 5th (of 5) + the 3rd (of 8) = how we feel when we've had enough.


7. Genius hits the Irish Cream... and sets the turntables spinning.


6. Pop's very dull boss begs for an extension.


5. Rambler in the Antarctic. O!


4. A potato king throws a party in Barnet. We loathe ourselves for attending.


3. Barbie's perfect man joins Johnny on the late show to celebrate juggernauts.


2. So angry, he kills giants and presidents with a perfect simile.


1. Brian's on the fence about wild horses in a Field.


Answers tomorrow. Go on - Take A Chance On Me!

  2. 1 Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally

  6. 5 Scott Walker - Jackie

    Good clue that one - makes perfect sense one you decipher it

  7. 10 is Jackson C. Frank - "Blues Runs The Game" (my fave is the John Renbourn version of that song!)

    1. Will have to track it down - only a ropy live version on youtube. I love the Simon & Garfunkel version.

  8. Bit late again so only tricky ones left.

    No. 4 - An Edward perhaps? Last name something to do with hair? Edward Wildinhair if he exists?

  9. I got #7 Corinne Bailey Rae

    #8: (I assume the first part of the clue= 3,6). Three 6 Mafia? But can't be as that group is black...Three 6 by deathcore band Attila isn't plausible either.

  10. No. 2 - Someone exists called Stereo Assassin but don't think this is him!

    ReplyDelete
  11. No. 8 song could be "Satisfied"? But what does the 5 and the 8 refer to - Bands, Months....

    ReplyDelete
  12. No.4 Edward Ball - Mill Hill Self Hate Club. Tune!

    1. Ok so not Edward Wildinhair then! I feel foolish, going to have to start checking in early to get the easier ones.

    2. I had that on a compilation tape but never knew who it was by.Cheers Swede!

  13. I think the photo in No.2 is of David Lee Roth, but I don't know any of his solo stuff other than the gruesome cover of 'California Girls'.

    ReplyDelete
  14. No.8 is The Wannadies, but I'm blowed if I can unscramble your clue to the song!

    ReplyDelete
  15. 8 is The Wannadies. Can't pin the clue on a song yet though.

    1. Ah!

      You and Me Song.

      U being the 5th of 5 vowels, me being the 3rd of 8 somethings...

      Delete
    2. Martin - thinking the same thing at the same time, but you beat me to it on the You bit - I've got the Me bit though! :-)

      Delete
  16. Once again I'm too late.
    If No. 2 is David Lee Roth as TS suggests, it's a fab clue! I don't know any of his solo material either. A quick look at a singles listing throws up a possibility though - is it 'Just Like Paradise'? (Never heard of it!)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ooh, I think I've got the Wannadies song! Amd a bit of lateral thinking - is it the You And Me Song? I.e. You = U which is the 5th of 5 vowels and, erm..... Me from do-re-mi-far-so-la-ti-do...?

    1. You are so smart C - I feel such a fool as all my guesses were way off the mark. I seem to know about potatoes but little else. Well done!
