Thank you for showing your True Colours again this week with your excellent answers to Saturday Snapshots. Time after time, you just keep getting them right! Thank you.
This week's winner was (as is often the case) first to get out of bed on Saturday morning, and this week that was FurryBootsCityBoy. Question, FBCB - is that an alias for Lynchie? The reason I ask is because you (re-)appeared round these parts about the same time Lynchie disappeared and you seem to answer lots of questions from the same eras Lynchie specialised in. My detective's nose senses a link... but I may be completely wrong.
Anyway, answers...
10. A phoney Cooke makes tough mutton for Egyptian royalty.
If Sam Cooke was a phoney, he'd be Sam The Sham.
Egyptian royalty were the pharaohs.
Tough mutton? A woolly bully!
Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs - Woolly Bully
9. Bimbo Joe Pesci.
A bimbo is an airhead.
Don't tell Joe Pesci that he's a funny guy.
Airhead - Funny How
Well done to Chris for solving the week's toughest twosome, this and number #2.
8. A chronic deed... or an alternative.
"A chronic deed" is an anagram. Alyson worked that out, though FBCB recognised the photo.
An alternative is something else.
Eddie Cochran - Somethin Else
7. Legally poor doll, again and again.
A Sindy doll who was legally poor might be a Law-per. Alyson, being a girl who just wants to have fun herself, had no problem solving that.
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
6. Could this be William's last song? Assistance offered.
A last swan for Billy would be his Swan song.
Billy Swan - I Can Help
5. What could I wear at the funeral without you? It's such a huge dilemma!
I might wear a mourning jacket at a funeral, without u that would be...
My Morning Jacket - Big Decisions
Well done to C for puzzling that one out.
4. Solitary love.
Heart - Alone
Another one for C, though I understand how Alyson thought Ann & Nancy look like First Aid Kit here. Way before the shaggy 80s dos they were more famous for.
3. Riches... and better weather for coffee drinkers.
The Fortunes - Storm In A Teacup
2. Storytelling levellers.
Storytellers are raconteurs.
Levellers might make things steady.
The bloke on the far right is Jack White. The one next to him is Brendan Benson.
Well done again, Chris.
The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes
1. Not Jason, at Halloween.
Not Jason Donovan, obviously. The one that clinched FBCB's victory this week.
Girls (and boys) who wanna have fun should come back next Saturday for more of the same.
Yes, it is me. I had a hassle after having to do a clean install of Windows, which led to another hassle and I won't bore you with the details. Anyway, thanks for these quizzes which keep my addled mind on track.
ReplyDeleteGood to know my own deductive powers aren't failing me.
DeleteI needed a bit of help with #2 and #9 but I got there in the end
ReplyDeleteI was late to the party but would have probably only have got number 10
ReplyDeleteWell played Lynchie/FBCB/Gram
