Saturday Snapshots #263

This morning, I met the chairman of the 1922 committee, Sir Graham Brady.

We've agreed there will be a Saturday Snapshots quiz to be completed within the next 24 hours. 

Identify the artists below, then work out what connects their songs. Before I'm out of a job.


10. Cleo’s partner does it in a more contemporary way.

9. Soggy shortbread.

8. Humble, hand-wringing clerk.

7. Join Astaire in disarray.

6. The sun’ll come out for a good man and a working bull.

5. Able to fly now that all appendages are complete again.

4. Phantom of the Opera gets frisky.

3. Ganymede, perhaps?

2. Cyril moans just like a slimy acorn.

1. The bridge in Sweden that hosts winter sports and rhythm.

I will remain as Snapshots host until a successor is chosen. Answers tomorrow morning.

      That would be No. 1 John unless I've got Anthony Newley horribly wrong!

    Seems like George could have cleaned up. If I'm allowed to try for No. 2, I think it's Carly Simon.

      I only know those three. Not a clue about the link, even with some others identified

    Carly Simon and Bronski Beat both had hits called "Why?" - would that be it?

      Why does Ernie keep guessing the link?

    2. George22 October 2022 at 09:36

      is it because he's really you?

      I don't have enough time to lead my own life, let alone anyone else's

      but there's never been a sighting of you two together! I rest my case

      If the same person then the links would all be impossibly obscure so that Rol looks like a genius for coming up with them and I look like a genius for working them out

      What he said.

      It's like we're two mouths speaking the same truth.

      Also, if Ernie was me, he'd have got #5.

    8. Ernie Goggins22 October 2022 at 17:01

      No idea on 5 or 6. Would never have got 3 either.

    9. Rol22 October 2022 at 17:04

      George knows #6. He's just not telling anyone.

    10. George22 October 2022 at 20:56

      is it Annie Lennox

    11. Rol22 October 2022 at 22:12

      Of course.

  9. Alyson22 October 2022 at 09:08

    There is a one-word song title common to the ones guessed so far. Might be the link or it might not, so I'll not jump in yet.

      It seems I was right, and Ernie got there first. Well done.

      Well done both!

      not scary looking in that pic at all...

      The only scary thing about them is that Fred Durst has started dressing like Jimmy Saville.
