Saturday Snapshots #91 - The Answers


There are those who believe that Saturday Snapshots was Made In Heaven and that I Was Born To Love You. Others prefer to think of me as Mr. Bad Guy for turning your Saturday mornings into a head-scratching hell. One way or another, I'm a Great Pretender.

Went to see The Book Of Mormon yesterday so no time for extended commentary today (i.e last night), but congratulations to all of you for some excellent deductive guesswork (particular on songs / artists you'd never heard of) and well done to Charity Chic for the win. 

Here come the answers: Let's Turn It On!


10. Munster lost in Frank Herbert novel hopes to make your acquaintance shortly.


Herman Munster.

Frank Herbert wrote Dune.

Herman Dune - I Wish That I Could See You Soon

Great fun that. If you've never heard it before, give it a spin.

9. English folk-dancer and former Take Thatter both voted Remain. It's in the stars!


Morris dancers.

Robbie Williams.

The Zodiac is in the stars.

Remain = Stay.

Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs - Stay

Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

8. A small number of brunettes & redheads quote Marvin Gaye... but not in the title!


Marvin Gaye sang What's Going On? That's the chorus of this tune... but not the title, strangely. Apparently they didn't want to confuse people. I'm confused.

4 Non-Blondes - What's Up?

7. Opposing currents ascend slowly.


Alternating Current opposes Direct Current.

AC/DC - It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock & Roll)

Tough to find a photo of AC/DC without Angus wearing his giveaway school uniform.

6. Penalty for juvenile maneaters: get Cash back!


Young cannibals should be fined.

Fine Young Cannibals - Johnny, Come Home

What is wrong 
In my life
That I must get drunk
Every night?

Reminds me of my twenties.

5. Tilting at your braincells, a festive George.


Tilting at windmills, like Don Quixote.

Noel Harrison - Windmills Of Your Mind

4. Hi ho Silver meets a devout nun in the dark.


"Hi ho, Silver!" is what the Lone Ranger shouted.

In the dark, he might be The Night Ranger.

Night Ranger - Sister Christian

Video of the week.

3. Mixed-up loser Liz makes it to Number One.


Loser Liz mixed up (as an anagram) = Rezillos.


2. Greased heartthrob meets Clint's lucky alpha male. 


Kenickie was a heart-throb in Grease.


Clint asked, "You feeling lucky, punk?" Add alpha to that and you get...


1. Kinks first roofers mixed up about landing tomorrow a.m.


Two anagrams in the same week? Sorry. You try coming up with a clue for Kris Kristofferson!

Pre-beard pic might have delayed the recognition for ten seconds or so.



There Must Be More To Life Than This... but Snapshots will be back again next Saturday anyway.
