Saturday Snapshots #76 - The Answers


You know that it would be untrue. You know that I would be a liar. If I were to say to you... I can't remember the answers to this week's Saturday Snapshots. Although, I did have to puzzle over some of them myself this week: I blame to post-viral lethargy. Or maybe they were particularly fiendish.

Mathematics proves impossible when your head is full of gunge, so I can't work out a winner this week, though everyone had a good go. Thanks for playing as always.


10. Pork from the top of the world leads you into a talent competition.


Far North Ham? Far N Ham?

There's no pleasing some people.

John Farnham - You're The Voice

9. Count down four places to discover Barbie takes 1000 heavy swings to get round the golf course.


Dolly's par is a ton, see? Easy when you know how.

Dolly Parton - 9 To 5

8. Climbing beanstalks after 10 leads to a sad, horny godson.


After 10 is 11, so that would make him Jack 11. If you're going to tell me it's pronounced Lee-ven, I'm going to say: it's a visual pun, not an auditory one.

Jackie Leven - The Sexual Loneliness Of Jesus Christ

7. Gracie's singular song is a let down.


Gracie Fields. In the singular would be Field. A song is music.

Field Music - Disappointed

6. Clock - e = belt fastener + y. Bluebottle.


Time - e = Tim. Buckle + y = Buckley.

Tim Buckley - Buzzin' Fly

5. Neon Robert, cured, follows Duran Duran to the sand.


The chemical symbol for neon is Ne. Add Robert Smith.

Mike Nesmith - Rio 

(Far superior to the Duran Duran song.)

4. Sweet on your tongue, a dancing football chant.


At football matches they (apparently) shout "Oggy Oggy Oggy". This is one of the many reasons I do not attend football matches.

The extra clue I gave involved a line from Smokey Robinson's I Second That Emotion, in which Smokey sings "A taste of honey is worse than none at all".

A Taste of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie

3. Found in a sound gallery, where Black Sabbath meets Woody's ex. (Low bridge not pictured.)


Art of Noise would be found in a sound gallery.

Black Sabbath sang Paranoid.

Woody Allen's ex is Mia Farrow.

The low bridge, not pictured, was this virtual gentleman, who provided the vocals to this odd 80s novelty tune...


Art of Noise (featuring Max Headroom) - Paranoimia

2. Wet Wet Wet, Heaven 17 and Elvis Costello can't tell the difference between rugby, soccer and ten pin bowling.


Wet Wet Wet, Heaven 17 and Elvis Costello all sang about Temptation.

The Temptations - Ball Of Confusion

1. Solipsistic gangsters don't wake up.


Solipsistic gangsters would say "I Am The Mob" since they would believe that only the self exists and thereby not believe in any other gangsters. Which then begs the question why they would need to be gangsters in the first place, and that is today's homework.

Anyway, if they couldn't wake up, they may be catatonic.

Ah, Cerys, were we ever that young?




This Is The End, Beautiful Friend... at least until next Saturday.

My Top Ten Kitchen Songs




Because we've recently had a new kitchen fitted... all designed, planned and sorted by Louise. My contribution is pretty much this blog post.


10. Martika - Martika's Kitchen

I'd forgotten all about this. It was written by Prince, hence: it's probably a thinly veiled metaphor for sexy time.

9. Field Music - In The Kitchen

No idea what this one's about though.

8. Little Jackie - The Kitchen

You can't go wrong if you're rhyming 'kitchen' with 'bitchin'.

7. The Young Knives - Kitchener

The Young Knives Need YOU!

6. UB40 - Rat In Mi Kitchen

What are you gonna do?

5. Prefab Sprout - Venus of the Soup Kitchen

When you're scared of down and out
You keep it to yourself and if anyone suspects
You say: "Who me ? Hardly!"
You tell him "Thank your stars, this isn't Derby day
'Cos it's clear you've got the gift for backing the wrong horse, Charlie."

The lyrics in this song are truly beautiful, yet most of it's the way Paddy sings them. Wonderful phrasing, worthy of Sinatra the way he takes the vocal melody in such surprising directions.

4. Old Crow Medicine Show - Mary's Kitchen

Come on in to Mary's kitchen...
...if you want your sausage ground
Ouch.

3. Jona Lewie - You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties

Spoiled somewhat since it was adopted by Ikea, but nevertheless, this is still the best Jona Lewie song not about Winston Churchill and Christmas. Great bored-out-of-their-heads backing singers in the video too.

2. Band of Horses - Evening Kitchen

Simply gorgeous.

1. The Lemonheads - Kitchen

Thrilled to be in the same postcode as you...

It's A Shame About Ray is 20 years old this year. How can that be possible?



Those are the songs playing in our new kitchen. Which one gets you dancing round the Smeg? (No, we didn't buy a Smeg. What do you think we are, made of money?)
