Of course, no way to police the no Google rule except by applying shame and guilt, but can you answer the following questions based on classic song lyrics? 1. If you have a bitchin’ camaro and an Exxon credit card, what does your dad do for a living? 2. If you race the little old lady from Pasadena for pink slips and win, what kind of car do you get to drive home? 3. Why should you send lawyers guns and money and where should you send them? 4. If you are in a poker game on a train bound for nowhere, what card do you need to make your hand? 5. What are you supposed to remember when the white knight is talking backwards? Got any others? ---

IIRC #2 would be a “Superstock Dodge”. I grew up in Pasadena when the song was popular. As a side story: A friend of mine had to do 2 wks. National Guard duty and his mother drove his car while he was gone. It was a ford Fairlane with a 427 in it. We, of course, referred to her as “The little old lady etc” ---

Two down and three to go. And Jethro Tull might say you should go down to the bog to warm your feet, but only if you are an old man in a quasi-rock opera concept albumn. 🙂 ---

“Train bound for nowhere” sounds like “The Gambler”, but I don’t _think_ there’s a poker game in that one. Hmm. ---

Congrats to all: 1 - Bitchin’ Camaro by the Dead Milkmen - Your dad’s the mayor, which is why you don’t get speeding tickets. **Bill H** knows his 80’s surf punk songs. 2 - The Little Old Lady From Pasadena by Jan & Dean - **Nebco9** wins the super stock dodge to go terrorize Colorado Blvd. 3 - Lawyers Guns and Money by Warren Zevon - **The Tooth** nailed it. So when you find your self with the waitress who’s working for the Russians, you know what to ask Dad for… 4 - The Gambler by Kenny Rogers - In the last line of the song both **Teleute12** and **Blake** find an ace to keep. 5 - White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane - If you go chasing rabbits, and you know you are going to fall, tell them a hookah smokin’ caterpiller has given you the call. And remember what **astorian** said… Feed your head white castle hamburgers. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Tooth \* > \*\*How much peanut butter do I have? \*\* I don’t know that one. Any other “questionable” lyric triva out there? I use these in training classes sometimes. ---

I don’t know about the peanut butter or the head… Hmm… How about these… How long should you squeeze my lemon? What is just a shot away? What happens when you end up like a dog that’s been beat too much? When does thunder only happen? Why did we jump up on the table and shout “anarchy”? ---

Fleetwood Mac Punk Rock Girl - Dead Milkmen I do not remember what the line before this was (ice tea?) but I think the line after refers to the jukebox and California dreamin so we started screamin on such a ?winter’s? day. ---
