Attention Material Girls & Beautiful Strangers... time once more to get Into The Groove of Saturday Snapshots.
Identify ten songs and their singers from the clues below, please. I'm Crazy For You to solve them all and promise to Cherish your answers...
10. Coward? Affirmative.
9. Conserve sheep: not a Golden Girl.
8. Martin, not a woman, warns against rat-arsed coitus.
7. Nee Nah's ambition was to sell 100,000 albums.
6. So scared of this crazy planet, you want to cry.
5. Prince George is very happy with the bloke from BT.
4. Sleep with Los Angeles; Jacobi calls for a pizza.
3. Where Paul gets his honey, at the crossing.
2. Van Halen, with subtitles, stumbles into a Scottish burgh called just Lochr.
1. Dido resting on the harbour wall.
Take A Bow if you got them all right. Otherwise, if I Live To Tell, I'll be back tomorrow morning with the answers.
#6 Mad World by Tears for Fears
ReplyDelete1. Otis redding dock of the bay
ReplyDelete2 Eddi Reader.
ReplyDeleteSong is ... don't know
One for the Scots to work out!
Delete5 Meri Wilson - Telephone Man
ReplyDelete5. Meri Wilson Telephone Man
ReplyDelete10 Yello - Oh Yeah
ReplyDelete9 Ram Jam - Black Betty
ReplyDelete7, New Gold Dreams Simple Minds
ReplyDeleteVery close, George, in title and Geography... but it's not Simple Minds.
DeleteYes definitely Gold something from the no. of records sold and something involving a siren. Scottish? Early '80s by the look of them. Still stumped.
DeleteThe Fire Engines - Big Gold Dream (needed a bit of help though with that one as you would guess)
DeleteGood work, Alyson
Delete6 Tears For Fears - Mad World
ReplyDelete4. Derek and The Dominos
ReplyDeleteLayla
Delete4 Derek and The Dominoes - Layla
ReplyDeleteA two horse race this morning
ReplyDeleteBit late to the party this morning and stuck with what is left. Even stuck with some of the ones that have been answered so will be interesting to see the answers yesterday and how the clue came about.
ReplyDeleteNo. 3 an 8 still to get and some of no. 7 and 2 I think. Will get my thinking cap on.
Oh dear that was ridiculous comment - see the answers "tomorrow". Must be hungover!
DeleteThat's tickled me, Alyson. I'm up for some time travel!
DeleteNo. 3 something involving McCartney maybe
ReplyDeleteNo. 8 a lady from the mid to late '70s singing about Not Partaking in Drunken Sex but can't place her. Linda Martin from Ireland has red hair but it's not her - Considering the subject matter probably a country singer.
A little shorter than McCartney.
DeleteSpeaking of whom, if you apply that thinking to number 8, it might help you solve the clue. Surprised the country fans here haven't already recognised that lady.
8 - Loretta Lynn?
DeleteAnd so 3 must be The Maccabees?
DeleteSong?
Delete8. Loretta Lynn - Don't Come Home a-Drinkin With Lovin' On Your Mind
ReplyDeleteOh no, is it all done? Have I missed it?!
ReplyDeleteOoh, seems not - No. 3 song by the Maccabees is surely 'Pelican'!
