Saturday Snapshots #163: The Answers

Here's a Bombshell! It's the answers to this week's quiz.

Unless you had your Eyes Wide Shut yesterday morning, I imagine you cracked these clues pretty easily. Hopefully it didn't take Hours...



10. Tiny fragments of The Troggs, Foreigner & Edwyn.

Tiny fragments are smithereens.

The Troggs, Foreigner & Edwyn Collins all sang about A Girl Like You.

The Smithereens - A Girl Like You

9. Bill & Ben follow Scott.

Too easy.

Scott McKenzie sang about San Francisco.

The Flowerpot Men - Let's Go To San Francisco

8. Inferior sand is aware.

"Inferior sand" was an anagram.

Dionne Farris - I Know

7. Traveller Number One has brain fried by horoscope. 

Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction - Prime Mover

6. Mr. Reportable visits his GP twice.


"Mr. Reportable" was also an anagram. Although these days, he probably would be reported for those videos.


Lynchie pointed us in the direction of the Frankie Miller version, which is damned fine... as is the original, by Moon Martin... but I have an undeniable soft spot for Batley Bob. Local lad and all that.

5. French sea gets gender switched around, ends up looking exhausted. Dad couldn't help, but...


La Mer is the French Sea. Change its gender and it becomes Le Mer. Switch that around and you get Merle... looking a bit haggard.


4. Not Robbie's nephew... or a definition of American arithmetic... just a wasted opportunity as time runs out.


She's not de niece of (Robbie) Williams.

He's not (because Americans insist on dropping the s from Maths) Math is...


3. Always remember small sounds.


Small sounds would be noise-ettes.


2. Twelve bars and still grumpy? Get out of here!


Twelve bar blues get moody.


1. Subterranean prison gives injection.


A nick in a cave?

Injections often go into your arm. See - easy when you know the answer!

You may not be a Nick Cave fan... but if any song could change your mind...




I don't believe in an interventionist god, but I do know that Saturday Snapshots will be back next week.

It'll be To Die For!
