If you're Crazy In Love with Saturday Snapshots, time to see if we can Work It Out together. Check On It below...
(As part of my Aretha Tribute Weekend... which continues tomorrow... it seemed the right time to include Beyoncé, who surely owes her entire career to Aretha paving the way for her.)
Anyway, a full scale scrum took place yesterday morning just after 8.30 with Charity Chic, Lynchie, C - and even George (welcome back, George) fighting to see who could type their answers fastest. No, sorry, FBCB, there are no marks for neatness in the game... although I'm pretty sure you clinched the victory this week anyway. Alyson deserves credit for working out this week's stinkers - number 9 - a song I doubt anyone remembered (even I'd forgotten it) and number 3 (Martin or The Swede might have got that, but I seriously doubt it's in Alyson's record collection). Well done to you all, and thanks for playing as always...
10. Clashing with the cops... even though one of them was a cop - completely!
Clashing with the cops would be fighting with the law. Clashing because the Clash covered this song.
I'm going to have to stop using the police clue for Bobby after today... but it made more sense here than most times I've used it.
The Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law
9. Donald plants citrus seeds on the White House lawn. What will grow there?
President Trump is a fool. The White House lawn is his garden.
Citrus seeds may grow into a Lemon Tree.
Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree
8. Move the pan so the babies don't get singed.
A Jamaican cooking pot / pan is called a Dutchie. This song was originally about drugs, but when this bunch covered it, they changed the lyrics so that it was about food instead. (Ironically, Dutchie then came to be drugs slang as a result.)
Babies would represent youth. Singed is a bad pun for musical AND burned.
This generation... rules de nation... with version!
Musical Youth - Pass The Dutchie
7. Plan a social gathering with this luscious nomad.
The name Wanda actual means "wanderer"!
And then there was Luscious Jackson.
Wanda Jackson - Let's Have A Party
6. Will you go out with me? Yes? What do your friends call you? Like your heavenly body? (Slap!)
Will you go out with me?
Go on then.
Yes?
Yes. I Will Be Your Girlfriend.
What do your friends call you?
They dub me Star.
Like your heavenly body? (Slap!)
Dubstar - I Will Be Your Girlfriend
5. Throw the clairvoyant at that beauty spot.
Chuck the prophet at that freckle.
Chuck Prophet - Freckle Song
4. Char lady required for diminutive queen? You're not wrong!
The Queen is Elizabeth. A diminutive form of that is Betty.
If you're not wrong, you are right.
Char ladies clean up.
Betty Wright - Clean Up Woman
3. Hugh shares a sweet affection for the Go-Betweens' favourite actress.
Hugh Hefner.
The Go-Betweens' favourite actress would be Lee Remick. This is a completely different song though...
Hefner - Lee Remick
2. Why stand on the Big Bad when you could be going on David Copperfield's rug?
Why step on a big bad wolf when you could be riding on a magic carpet? (Originally I wanted to make that Paul Daniels' rug, because that would have been funnier, but I didn't know how well he'd be known internationally.)
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
1. Stooping to pick up a Scouse bracelet.
Explains itself, surely?
Martin did a post recently about music videos that stop the music unexpectedly half way through. There's a great example here, courtesy of Mr. Leonard Nimoy...
If I Were A Boy... or even a Naughty Girl... I'd come back here next Saturday for some Déjà Vu. See you then.
