Nothing Ever Comes to No Good Up On Choctaw Ridge (Mysteries in pop music)

We never learn what Billy Joe McAllister was throwing off the Tallahatchee bridge.

We never find out what the hell happened to the boy that “Angie Baby” makes disappear.

Are there any other enduring mysteries in pop music?

Who wrote the book of love?

Did we ever find out who wrote the Book of Love? I wonder[sup]5[/sup].

ETA: ARRRGGH, beaten to the punchline. :mad:

Who put the bop in the bop she bop she bop?
Who put the dip in the dip te dip te dip?

Do we know who made the Lights Go Out in Georgia?

The particulars of Bob Dylan’s prison escape in “Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream”:

Don’t even ask me how …

And what’s love got to do with it?

Why must I be a teenager in love?

Who’s that guy who is so vain? So vain, in fact, that he thought that song was about him?

Masturbation. Now go listen to the song again. :eek:

What’t the one thing Meatloaf won’t do for love?
(I’ve actually heard the explanation but never would have figured it out myself)

Tell me why you cry, and why you lie-ie-ied to me.

Didn’t Rico shoot Tony? At least that’s what I thought the final verse implied.

Can you elaborate? I don’t think I’ve ever heard an explanation for that song…
Anyway, what about Louie Louie? Did anyone ever figure out what the hell that song was about? Certainly people drove themselves crazy trying.

A Day In the Life - What was the news that day, oh boy? What was that all about?
