Snapshots #359 - A Top Ten Songs To Help You Get Better


If you're feeling a little under the weather today, take ten of these and see me in the morning...


10. Do you want a job, Zane? No? Too bewildering?

"A job, Zane" is an anagram...

Joan Baez - We Shall Overcome

9. Spend 24 hours with the Reverend and the Professor.

The Reverend Al and Professor Green invite you for the day...

Green Day - When I Come Around

8. No wimps allowed in this family.

They're All Man!

Allman Brothers Band - Revival

7. Parabola.

One for the mathematicians...

Curve - Recovery

6. Firm enough to build on. 

The Foundations - Back On My Feet Again

5. Wet Wet Wet.

SOAK - Get Well Soon

4. One of us.

John Medd - I'm On The Mend

3. Womanise Huey? That sounds confusing.

"Womanise Huey" was an anagram...

Amy Winehouse - Rehab

2. Found in the garden, with six others.

Shed Seven - Getting Better

1. Where Tarzan swung, he listened.

Marvin Gaye - (Sexual) Healing


Hope you're all feeling well enough to join me back here next Saturday...

Saturday Snapshots #107 - The Answers


Nobody puts Baby in the corner on a Sunday morning. Baby wants her answers! And here they are...

Did you have a Ghost of a chance of getting them all right?

Regardless, every track's a belter this week...



10. A wee vacuum riddle torments and teases.


Jimmy Riddle?

Jimmy The Hoover - Tantalise

9. Still a child at heart, secretly famous.


Forever young...

Neil Young - Unknown Legend

Still sends shivers down my spine, this track. Written about his former wife, Pegi, who sadly died earlier this year.

8. Melon twisting dancer gets an A for running over southern states.


Bez was the Melon Twisting dancer. Add an A and you get Baez.

Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

7. Save the earth in 2009? If not then, how about...


If not in 2009, how about...?

Ten Years After - I'd Love To Change The World

6. I refuse to accept a brother of York can go beyond sanity.


Thom Yorke's brother was in this band.

(Bonus clue - Hal Hartley made a film called The Unbelievable Truth, David Mitchell hosts a Radio 4 quiz show with the same name.)

Unbelievable Truth - Higher Than Reason

5. Town that died, but not long ago, meets French weirdo.


The Night Chicago Died. Take away ago.

A French weirdo would be Le Freak.

Chic - Le Freak

4. No charge for pierced organ ring.

(That's my favourite clue ever.)


No charge is free. Electricity also comes with a charge. Hammond make organs. A pierced organ is a Prince Albert. A ring is sometimes called a (wedding) band.

I thank you.

Albert Hammond - The Free Electric Band

3. Rubbing out, occasionally.

Erasure - Sometimes

2. Melted Pac Man puts gas in your tank.


If the arcade was on fire, Pac Man might melt.

Arcade Fire - Keep The Car Running

1. Michael Caine and James Brown hit the Martini, relentlessly.


Michael Caine was Carter. James Brown was a Sex Machine. Relentlessly is unstoppable.




Ride a Point Break back here again next Saturday morning for more of the same...
