Snapshots #389: The Snapshots Dessert Trolley

I'm on a diet at the moment, so putting this edition of Snapshot together was an exercise in self-flagellation. For the rest of you - feel free to indulge your sweet teeth below..

15. Non-White Raconteur.

The Raconteurs were a band featuring Jack White and...

Brendan Benson - Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

14. One bed flat for family of ten.

Crowded House - Chocolate Cake

13. Too busy singing.

I'm sure most of you easily spotted the Monkee-Mobile... but did you recall this awful school dinner substitute for rice pudding?

The Monkees - Tapioca Tundra

12. He was always wrong in French.

Mal - Mighty Mighty Roly Poly

Mal Ryder (aka Paul Bradley Couling from Wales) didn't make much of a mark on the UK music scene in the 70s... but he was very big in Italy. I include him here today because I do like a good Roly Poly.

11. Stork joins hawk to create a weird hybrid.

"Stork joins hawk" was an anagram...

Horst Jankowich - A Walk In The Black Forest

Black Forest Gateaux is evil. But if you dined out in the 70s or 80s, it was seen as the height of sophistication. 

10. The UK's chartered professional body for mathematicians puts on a bit of weight  in their luxury abode.

"The UK's chartered professional body for mathematicians", as I'm sure George will know, are the IMA. So Fat + IMA in a Mansion...

Fatima Mansions - Angel's Delight

Another staple dessert from my childhood, but far preferable to Black Forest Gateaux. Especially Butterscotch flavour. 

9. C disappears fast.

In the word Quick, if you make the C disappear, you are left with...

The Quik - Bert's Apple Crumble

8. Zeus gave nan a mixed message.

"Zeus gave nan" is an anagram...

Suzanne Vega - Caramel

7. Hedgehog children.

Sonic The Hedgehog, of course...

Sonic Youth - Créme Brûlèe

6. Goat, flippin'... the end of Christine.

Billy Goat + Flipping 'Eck + Stine...

Billy Eckstine - Jelly Jelly

5. Small horses, still kids, you've never seen them before... but they're joining up together! 

Bit of a laborious clue, I admit...

New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream

4. Lights on a flying machine. 

That'll be the LEDs on the Zeppelin...

Led Zeppelin - Custard Pie

3. Fake lists contain everything you need to know.

FaKE LISts...

Kelis - Milkshake

2. I have a legal document stating that I can write this clue.

Warrant - Cherry Pie

1. Proof Stu was a very confused man.

"Proof Stu" was an anagram...

Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)

More tasty treats for you next Saturday morning... 

Snapshots #188: A Top Ten Apple Songs

Yesterday's Snapshots certainly gave you something to chew on. But the answers don't fall far from the tree...

10. Part of a barber's pole.

Just the White Stripes...

The White Stripes - Apple Blossom

9. Australians cut Monday short.

Aussies (Oz/Os) only have Mond.

The Osmonds - One Bad Apple

8. So fast, they lose a C.

Quick, without the C...

The Quik - Bert's Apple Crumble

7. Dapper zero.

Anagram!

Perez Prado - Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White

6. Beg or borrow baby talk.

Cadge a goo goo.

Kajagoogoo - The Big Apple

5. Horatio, of the Black Pig.

Captain Horatio Pugwash sailed on the Black Pig.

Pugwash - Apples

4. Moore & Ogilvy look like they've seen a ghost.

Roger Moore & Ian Ogilvy both played The Saint. If they saw a ghost, they might be pale.

The Pale Saints - Throwing Back The Apple 

3. Who sings like Marilyn's man?

The Who singer was Roger Daltrey.

Marilyn Monroe was married to Arthur Miller.

Roger Miller - Little Green Apples

2. Nowadays people just ask for money instead. Or give you a list.

You don't get to just buy whatever you like as a Wedding Present these days.

No apple in the title... but too much apple pie in the chorus!

The Wedding Present - Kennedy

1. Sounds like three and an eagle.

#3 was Roger Miller. The Eagle was Glen Frey...

Enjoy your week. Snapshots will be back next Saturday, exams permitted.
