Saturday Snapshots #259


Waitaminute, doc... are you telling me you built a QUIZ... out of a bunch of old snapshots?

Here are ten clues to Fox you. Identify the stars below... then work out what connects their songs. Extra points for this week's connection, as I reckon it's a tricky one...


10. Rated worst.

9. This pair are a mystery to me.

8. Arthur Daley settles down and puts his feet up.

7. Everybody... tonight.

6. Presumably none of them are called Billy.

5. Best & Ball.

4. What someone who loves the nightlife uses to get into their home.

3. Panther meets wood-knocker.

2. Deserving of worship.

1. Tim Booth gets some Sugar.


You guys might not be ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

(Answers tomorrow. If you want them now, find a way to get back to the future.)

    If George Best and Alan Ball are your references for #5 then I tip my hat to you; but I fear they may not be...

    No. Bonus clue...

    You all know the #1 song, but you might not know this, the original version ...

    I'm obsessing with the singer for no 1. I saw that you said it's not James "brown" and given the sugar part of the clue, I thought James White, or Jim White, but the Jim White I can think if is the One-eyed Jesus bloke.

      I'm obsessing about it too. Wondering if the capital S for Sugar is an extra clue, e.g. like the band Sugar. Which doesn't really help but I'll put it out there.

    2. C24 September 2022 at 14:26

      Ooh... thinking aloud here... is it like Sugar Ray? Is there a James Ray? Sounds plausible!

      Well done, C.

    The link then... it's not thematic, but it is something else in the title of each of these songs...

    I might be be a bit of a fool but think I may know it...

      Erm... if you're hinting it has anything to do with fools, then no.

      Otherwise, go for it, C!

      The only further clue I can give you all...

    3. Rol24 September 2022 at 16:03

      ...is this one.

    4. Rol24 September 2022 at 16:09

      Would I...

    Ah, I was, a few of them do have songs with fool in title...but I just made one of myself.

    James Ray did the original of "Got My Mind Set On You" so I guess that's the song. But neither he nor George H used ellipses so not sure how your clues help, unless you are using them to indicate words left out (James had "I've" at the start of his version but George didn't).

    Here ends the vote of the Skopje jury.

      I guess you could look at the full title of that song, as recorded by James, which wA different to the title of the song George recorded...

      Delete
    2. George24 September 2022 at 20:38

      brackets, part of the song title ? Rod Stewart has examples, and that James Ray song is one.

      Delete
    3. George24 September 2022 at 20:39

      and the George Michael song Knew You Were Waiting

      Delete
    4. Rol24 September 2022 at 20:47

      It's not brackets. But you're thinking along the right lines now...

    Do we have the link yet - I’m confused!

    If not is it, ‘It’ songs - ones with It’s or It in the title?

      Blimey. No. Even I'm not mean enough to make a link out of songs with it in the title.

      All these songs have something in their title... or you might argue, after their title, that most songs don't have. But you'd have to look at the full title, as it was recorded on the albums (or singles) in question.

      Is it the ... s?

    3. Rol24 September 2022 at 22:53

      No. I'm not sure I can think of any more clues. Other than to ask you to look carefully at the record label here...
