Times Like These, we all need a little something to take our mind off the worries of the world. Hopefully Saturday Snapshots does that without throwing a Monkey Wrench into your weekend.
Thanks for playing as always - I think Rigid Digit just managed to steal the win from Lynchie this week, although Lynchie did try for an extra point for identifying Janet Jackson... but that was hardly difficult, was it? I'll give you half a point for cheek, Lynchie - but RD still takes it. Well done to Charity Chic for being first out of bed, though he guessed the wrong Jackson Browne song and nobody corrected him (my fault for not saying he was wrong, but I was busy yesterday watching the Solo movie... which is the first Star Wars film since the original trilogy that I'd happily watch again). Special thanks to Alyson for swooping in at the end of the day and cleaning up the one nobody got... which I'm sure Martin would have got if he hadn't been off doing something more interesting.
Anyway - the answers...
10. A stone rook, doomed to share Mick's nervous breakdown.
In chess, a stone rook would be a Hard Castle.

Paul Hardcastle - 19
9. After an extensive dose of peroxide, they start fooling around on the back row.
Extensive = Long, Peroxide makes you Blonde.
The Long Blondes - Lust In The Movies
8. Nudies equal Craig David's record.
Craig David's biggest hit was Seven Days, which equals one week.
Nudies are what we used to call naked ladies when I was a kid. (Such innocent times.)
Barenaked Ladies - One Week
7. Winners share a hangover at sunrise.
Winners are champions.
Too much Tequila Sunrise will give you a hangover.
The Champs - Tequila

If you sign on someone else's behalf, you write P.P.
Arnold Schwarzengger was the Terminator.
PP Arnold - The First Cut Is The Deepest
5. Pretending to be happy together in the garden, yeah?
The Turtles sang Happy Together - if they were pretending, they'd be Mock Turtles.
The Mock Turtles - Can You Dig It?
4. Stole Bruce's Cadillac: who cares!?
Bruce's Cadillac was Pink. So what?
Pink - So What!?
3. Time flies... backwards?
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
The Byrds - My Back Pages
(Although I did like the other suggestions - it seems quite a few Byrds songs would have fit that clue!)

Too easy.
The Skids - Into The Valley
1. Johnny & June give James an E when he misses his flight.
Johnny and June went to Jackson.
James Brown + an E =
All My Life I've been waiting for Saturday Snapshots. More next week.
Didn’t think that I had the right Jackson Browne song
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good answer though - made as much sense as mine.
DeleteLiking The Long Blondes song, though they might have been born in the wrong era, as sounds like belongs in the 70s/80s (and not the mid 2000s). The Skids are also new to me-good stuff. Jackson Browne is on my list.
