To the old reliable carthorses...

Racing Cars - They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Jacky - White Horses

Wild Flag - Racehorse

Here's one I've been listening to a lot lately, from a masked man on horseback...

Snapshots #262: A Top Ten Horse Songs

This is Richard Harris: A Man Called Horse. Yesterday, we had Robert Redford: The Horse Whisperer.

Why the long face?

Here are ten songs featuring horses...

10. Danny spent 127 Hours on a Lazy Turntable.

A Lazy Susan combined with Danny Boyle, who directed 127 Hours.

Susan Boyle - Wild Horses

Of course, we'd all have preferred the Stones version... or even The Sundays... but how else was I going to shoe-horn Susan Boyle into this quiz?

9. "Open", says my old neighbour Dave Smith, initially. 

"Open", Says My Old Neighbour Dave Smith.

The Osmonds - Crazy Horses

8. Excitedly came between The Seekers.

The - Thrill - Seekers?

The Thrills - One Horse Town

7. Eros, Phobos or Deimos, perhaps.

They were all the children of Aphrodite,

Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen

6. Who works in de office?

De Clerk, of course!

Dee Clarke - Ride A Wild Horse

5. Managed by McLaren?

Not Malcolm...

The Racing Cars - They Shoot Horse, Don't They?

4. Replaces the black & white TV.

Colourbox - Looks Like We're Shy One Horse

3. Heavy weight stops the car for abbreviated Price.

Katie Price's car stalls because it weighs a tonne. (Make up your own punchline.)

KT Tunstall - Black Horse & Cherry Tree

2. The Beautiful North.

North America, The Beautiful...

America - A Horse With No Name

1. Hyena munched bonnet.

Anagram!

Echo & The Bunnymen - Bring On The Dancing Horses

You, and the horse you rode in on, are welcome back for more Snapshots next Saturday...

Saturday Snapshots #68 - The Answers

Imagine all the people who can't work out the answers to Saturday Snapshots! How Do You Sleep when there's one you just can't get?

A pretty even spread of marks this week, with lots of you working together to piece together the clues. Charity Chic won with 3 whole points, but well done to Walter, Chris, Alyson, Rigid Digit and C for sterling efforts - and a welcome return from George, who christened the Christians.

Of course, I did goof pretty badly on the photo for clue 2. More on that below. Hang my head in shame. Oh, Nobody Told Me there'd be days like these... we better get some answers!


10. Neneh's spirit adds to division.

Neneh Cherry.

Spirit = ghost.

Adding & division are basic things you do in Mathematics.

Cherry Ghost - Mathematics

9. Denying the assassination, Lee takes the third train track to insanity.

When Lee Harvey Oswald denied killing JFK, he claimed to be just a patsy.

The third train track might be the C-Line.

Patsy Cline - Crazy

8. Apostles clean up the town.

The Christians - Hooverville

7. F1 equestrian assassins.

Formula 1 involves racing cars.

Racing Cars - They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

6. Piercing vision refuses gimp outfit.

X-Ray Spex would give you piercing vision.

X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage, Up Yours!

5. Tiny heads home for a quiet weekend.

Tiny heads would have small faces.

Hello, Mrs. Jones - how's your Bert's lumbago?

Mustn't grumble...

The Small Faces - Lazy Sunday

4. Big bad Wonderland. When will they be famous?

Big Bad Wolf + Alice In Wonderland.

Bros sang When Will I Be Famous.

Wolf Alice - Bros

3. Alien pal phones Morrissey because he hasn't had a good mope in ages.

ET's pal was Elliot. ET wanted his help to "phone home".

Morrissey was a Smith.

If you haven't had a good mope in ages, you probably miss misery.

Elliot Smith - Miss Misery

2. LimbibingA, futuristic fibre truck.

To explain how I ended up posting the wrong image for this clue... and bizarrely ended up posting a second picture of Wolf Alice, here's the google image search I used...

My lesson here is to never trust the NME. That bottom left pic - as C rightly identified - is another picture of Wolf Alice... even though the New Musical Morons have labelled it as a band from 20 earlier.

Despite all that, nobody got my clue (or at least, not as I type this). Hopefully it'll be self-explanatory now...

Bran Van 3000 - Drinking In LA

1. Fatal Moe indicates his way to heaven.

Fatal Moe is an anagram.

The indicator is a light that flashes on your dashboard.

Heaven is paradise.



Saturday Snapshots is finished for this week. Don't worry - next Saturday morning, it'll be (Just Like) Starting Over...
