Saturday Snapshots #139 - The Answers


And God Created Woman.

After that, he sat down and had a go at Saturday Snapshots.

Here's the answers he came up with...



10. Hot, fashionable vinyl clicks a clapperboard.


When you click a clapperboard, you shout, "Action!"

The Flaming Groovies - Shake Some Action

9. The most beautiful hairdresser I ever heard... but build like a stone.


In West Side Story, Maria is the most beautiful sound they ever heard.

The hairdresser (out of work at the moment, presumably) would be Vidal Sassoon.

Maria Vidal - Body Rock

Ah, the 80s never go out of fashion in this house.

8. First letter to where Sonny died... off we trot once more.


The first letter is A.

Sonny Bono died at Lake Tahoe (it says so in the song).

A - Here We Go Again (I Love Lake Tahoe)

7. Back when we used to bop like #2... and shag like an operatic solo.


Those Dancing Days are named after a song by our #2 artist this week.

Those Dancing Days - Fuckarias 

I'm very disappointed that I only discovered this band after they'd split up.

6. Mr. T shoots racist marmalade.


That really does look like Rob Brydon.

But, no!

Mr. T was B.A. Baracus.

The racist marmalade is Robertson's.

B.A. Robertson - Bang Bang

I'm not sure what to make of that after all this time. The video makes it look like a Kenny Everett spoof.

5. Third Scarborough herb for George... in shaky property.


Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme were the herbs in Scarborough Fair.

George Clooney.

Shakin' Stevens memorably covered this song.

Rosemary Clooney - This Ole House

4. Staple found in the middle of Elvis - I'm just saying.


Elvis's middle name was Aaron.

Pair that with Neville Staple.

Aaron Neville - Tell It Like It Is

What a voice.

3. Smoking hedge partner sets fire to jungle - call George! (Not that George.)


Benson & Hedges?

George of the Jungle was played by Brendan Fraser.

Brendan Benson - Tiny Spark

Forgotten how good that was.

2. Ellen zipped by like a Foreigner tune.


Ellen zipped is an anagram.

A Foreigner tune wasn't anything to do with I Want To Know What Love Is.

Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

Ever since the last Thor movie, that has been my favourite Led Zep song.

1. Top crying from conquering crow.


Levi Stubbs was the lead singer of the Four Tops.

William The Conqueror.

Crowing is like bragging.



They don't get much better than that on a Sunday morning.

See you next week.

    1. Chris - try "Slow Death" and their cover of "Tallahassee Lassie" - originally A&B sides of a 45 single.
