It's been twenty-three hours and zero days since you finished answering (most of) this week's Saturday Snapshots... and, as often is the case, the early bird walked away with the prize. Well done, C! Nothing compares to you lot...
10. Riding through Dublin or Lynchburg (but not Campbeltown) with Bruce's dad.
Dublin and Lynchburg are towns that produce Whiskey with an e. Campbeltown produces Whisky without an e. Back when I was a whiskey/y connoisseur (20+ years ago), I preferred Scotch to Irish, but Bourbon beat them both.
In the song My Hometown, an 8 year old Bruce Springsteen rides through town with his dad. This is a different song with the same title.
Yes, Martin, that is Ryan Adams. But it could also have been Tim Burgess with that haircut.
Whiskeytown - My Hometown
9. Dick Kapital ☠.
Dick Kapital was easy: Richard being Dick, Marx writing Das Kapital.
The skull & crossbones caused a lot more trouble - it's used as a hazard symbol, specifically for poisons and other lethal substances.
Nice mullet/stubble combo, by the way.
Richard Marx - Hazard
8. Earthquake breaks up angelic ork.
Easy, it seems. Anagram.
Carole King - I Feel The Earth Move
7. Short hello in Oo fancies a big dipper.
Stick hi in the middle of Oo and you get Ohio.
A big dipper is a rollercoaster.
Ohio Players - Love Rollercoaster
6. The longest key on your street.
The longest key on a keyboard is the space bar.
Space - Neighbourhood
5. Troglodyte onomatopoeia.
Troglodytes were primitives.
Crash is an onomatopoeia.
Primitives - Crash
4. Washington Butler can see clearly.
George Washington.
Robert Guillaume played the Butler Benson.
If you can see clearly, you have 20/20 vision.
George Benson - 20/20
3. Wilde meat glares at Joan Crawford.
Kim Wilde.
Meat = carne (as in carnivore).
Bette Davis glared at Joan Crawford.
Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
2. Bad bad (almost) Beach Boy Brown ups the bidding.
Bad Bad Leroy Brown + Van Dyke Parks.
My dad used to be an auctioneer. This song always makes me think of him.
Leroy Van Dyke - The Auctioneer
1. What if Alan Bennett only wrote one monologue?
Alan Bennett wrote a series of monologues called Talking Heads. But if he'd only written one...
(If you've not seen it before, check out the Donald Trump version.)
Erm... Mandinka next Saturday. Or something.
Well done C! I thought this week's quiz was a tough one.
ReplyDeleteThanks,only down to timing this week I'm sure!
DeleteAnother superb quiz, Rol! Worth getting up especially early for ;-)
ReplyDeleteOf course, a hazard symbol, should have thought of that. Thanks for making it tricky
