*Update - Alyson finally cracked the clue, just before 8.*
51 comments as I post this. That may well be a record. I didn't go out of my way to make it harder this week... some weeks I do, but this wasn't one of them!
10. I taught I taw a Puddy Cat - I did! It wasn't made up!
Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
9. Curly German gets baptised.
Curly, in German, is Krauss.
People often get baptised in a river. And that involves praying.
Alison Krauss - Down To The River To Pray
8. Chopper found at neighbourhood gathering.
Bloc Party - Helicopter
7. Salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard, at the bottom of the hill, late on.
Salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard are 4 seasonings.
At the bottom of a hill is a valley.
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - The Night
What a bassline.
6. Cheers shrink choir - bog standard!
The Cheers shrink was Frasier.
Bog standard is typical.
Frazier Chorus - Typical!
5. Don't embrace the past. Cash goes boom.
Johnny Cash Thunders.

4. Friend of Tom Frost, repairs wagons. No need to swear.
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost
A wainwright fixed wagons.
Martha Wainwright - Bloody Mother-Fucking Asshole
A sweet, heartfelt ode to her dad. Aww. I'm sure he loves it.
3. King Louis on the best fairground rides, watching a very dull film.
Elvis was the King. Louis was Costello. Fairground rides are attractions.
A very dull film would have no action. (And by that I didn't necessarily mean car chases - although they always help - just something happening.)
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - No Action
2. A long way inside a Pet Shop Boy, the clock stops ticking.
When the clock stops ticking, you're out of time.
Chris Lowe is a Pet Shop Boy.
A long way is far. Put that in the middle and you get...
Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time
1. An old one, Cher, tomorrow.
"An old one, Cher" is an anagram.
Tomorrow is the future. And it always will be.
You overthought that one.
Easier clues next week... possibly.
Well done on a fun Saturday Snapshots - Lots of comments on this one but also lots of guesses that went nowhere. The Future - d'oh.
ReplyDeleteThe Johnny Thunders song is a an all-time fav.
ReplyDeleteI guess it pays to watch Big Little Lies(I haven't) because the Martha Wainwright pick is fantastic.
