This weekend, we explored ten legendary cities, lost to the sands of time. I'm surprised we didn't bump into Indiana Jones while we were there...
10. He made three dollars.
The composer of the soundtracks for Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy, starring Clint Eastwood. He also ventured to this lost city in Colorado...
9. Rabbit, something you bear, Jodie Foster movie.
Peter the Rabbit, you bear the brunt, Jodie Foster was in Nell.
Peter Bruntnell - Camelot In Smithereens
8. Misspelled Mongol.
It's not Genghis Kahn, it's...
Apologies if you'd have preferred this...
7. From Grace.
No one wants a Fall from grace...
The Fall - Theme From Sparta FC
6. Wheeler's band - Fall Guy - Madonna, Miley, Mariah (initially) - monstrous wife.
Tim Wheeler's band is Ash. The Fall Guy was Lee Majors (not that Ryan fool). Madonna et al. are MCs. Frankenstein's monstrous wife was The Bride.
5. Yellow, Turquoise, Juniper.
Three song title colours from...
4. Once indoors, an unbelievable mix-up occurs.
"Once indoors, an..." was an anagram...
3. Revolutionary prison.
2. Don't get stuck in them.
1. No Joel? That'll cause a stir.
"No Joel" was an anagram of ELO and ONJ.
Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu
Rediscover Snapshots next Saturday.
Greetings, Snapshotters. Hope you're all Welles. We've got another Orson quiz for you this morning.
Who are they and how are their songs connected?

Here are some more songs sung by Elvis when he's not singing his own songs. Compare and contrast, if you've got nothing better to do today.
We'll start with one from my third (or possibly fourth, or possibly fifth) favourite Springsteen album...
Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise
Elvis Costello - Brilliant Disguise
Next up, a classic from Gram and co... even if Elvis chose to change the title.
Flying Burrito Brothers - Hot Burrito No. 1
Let's go way back now, to 1953, and one of the founders of rock n roll...
Sadly, I couldn't find a photograph of Teacher's Edition, otherwise I would definitely have featured them in this week's quiz, for obvious reasons...
Teacher's Edition - I Wanna Be Loved
Elvis Costello - I Wanna Be Loved
Quite a fun video, I hadn't seen that before.
Here's something strange to make you scream...
Screamin' Jay Hawkins - Strange
And also from Kodak Variety, a singer who always makes me think of Somewhere Down The Crazy River...
Little Willie John - Leave My Kitten Alone
Elvis Costello - Leave My Kitten Alone
Meanwhile Elvis is obviously a big fan of Memphis Soul Man James Carr, having covered him twice...
James Carr - Pouring Water on a Drowning Man
Elvis Costello - Pouring Water on a Drowning Man
James Carr - The Dark End of the Street
Elvis Costello - The Dark End Of The Street
I like to pick a couple of obscure acts for Snapshots every week, just to stretch your braincells. But this Aussie band might have been pushing the obscurity factor a bit much, even for Ernie.
Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons - So Young
Far less obscure, in fact one that's been covered by everybody and his dog...
And I need no excuse to feature these guys, ever...
Louvin Brothers - Must You Throw Dirt in My Face
Elvis Costello - Must You Throw Dirt in My Face
I had a load more, but you're probably getting sick of them now, so let's finish today with the song that almost tipped Ernie off to this week's answer, and probably helped Parsley The Goat clinch it.
