Saturday Snapshots #445


Heaven Can Wait this Saturday morning, but Snapshots can't. Frankly, it's The Only Game In Town.

Hopefully you won't have to be Dick Tracy to solve the clues below... who are they and how are their songs connected?


15. Slightly longer than a Buzzcock.

14. Useful for campanologists.

13. Tastes like Homer's beer.

12. Revolutionary War singer, without his comrades.

11. Lard, Sweet Pea & Ivy.

10. Found in the back of a taxi and on short British Airways flights.

9. Looming over a Norfolk Festival.

8. Confused, but they still made a rich packet.

7. AU + a short Friar + Spider-Man, initially. 

6. Lapwings dressed as lambs.

5. Modern American Music Hall players.

4. Globe loathing.

3. The Pink... Parsons.

2. Curt is always with them.

1. Regularly received mail from strangers.

Answers tomorrow morning!
