Saturday Snapshots #427


Welcome to the pre-Christmas edition of Snapshots. We used to call it Seasonal Snapshots, but none of these are Christmas songs - spoiler! Still, Santa's got a bumper bag of goodies to keep you guessing throughout the festive season... or the next five minutes, depending on how fast Alyson & Ernie are this week.

Who are these people and how are their songs connected?

25. Found disrupted in one ugly... bloke.

24. Sounds like we’re both in the same boat.

23. The heavenly nouveau riche.

22. The Royal Airforce, For Instance.

21. Sassenachs.

20. Robins in an American garden.

19. Leave Nelson unplanted.

18. Fusion combo.


17. Wings that sting.

16. Your plans to buy a Prince album are cancelled due to bad weather.

15. Watch out - these fellas scam you!

14. You’ll find them in the next church you visit.

13. Tutankhamun stuck on a Swiss mountain.

12. Home to the Basement Tapes.

11. Favoured by Constable, Monet and O’Keeffe.

10. Sounds like the connection between a misty streaker and a spooky train robber.

9. Ensemble brought in by Coldplay and Pilot Olivia to perform their songs.

8. What an Amazonian… or, um, his offspring… might spend their money on.

7. Moonlight Maddie meets a Kung Fu Fighter.

6. Scared by the fireplace bogeyman? Find solace within.

5. Plug in hedge trimmer.

4. Phoney rappers are non-returnable protagonists.

3. Caveman, Haddock, Kirk… they’re an unhappy bunch!


 2. Theme park owner.

1. Skinks on a plane.

Answers tomorrow morning!

    1. There is, I once made the mistake of buying one of their records in a CC shop

    1. I assumed we were all wrong. And we need you to get the correct answer

      Delete
    2. I think Alison may be on to something. If my guess was right, Rol came up with this list to give himself ideas for Christmas presents.

      Delete
  13. Along with George and Ernie's suggestions - could it be old-fashioned Christmas presents, like Rocking Horse and Doll's House?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Just to clarify, in case you missed the comment above, Ernie was correct - it's things we put on a Christmas list, ask for at Christmas, particularly when we were kids. George was almost there.

    1. And thank you for the enormous clue in the introduction ("Santa's got a bumper bag of goodies" + photo). You're clearly no Scrooge.

      Delete
    2. Well done Ernie, and George too.

      What lovely presents too, I still want a rocking horse!

      Delete
    3. Plenty of wood here, C, I'll ask my partner to get on with it. (After sh'e's finished the cat shelter and new hen house)

    4. Yes well done guys, but Scandinavian film stars was a good guess too!!?
