Saturday Snapshots #470


Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came. Down in the hollow... playin' a new game. A game called Saturday Snapshots. If it's raining this morning, try these...

Who are they and how are their songs connected?


15. What a carpet did next.



14. I'm going to sue Deep Purple.


13. What Tony Blackburn shouts at Turner and PJ.


12. Fred means not what you think.


11. If you sent off for them, they were always a big disappointment when they arrived.


10. When Katrina walks onto the subway.


9. How do you solve a problem like Macca's Miserable Holiday Home?


8. Like Rachel, Matthew and Dita Von Teese.


7. Assorted sweets for pretty girls.


6. When will young people learn where to find the answers for this quiz?


5. Grew up in the wilds.


4. Dire Namesakes fan.


3. Sugar man.


2. Very, something, extra, nothing.


1. Blue-eyed girl.


Have I Told You Lately that the answers will be here tomorrow morning?
