If you have to choose between your significant other and a blues legend, who do you opt for and why?
Well I’ll throw a few out there:
Who had a “busted flat down in New Orleans”?
Who “don’t have no mercy in this land”?
“Late last night, I heard a screen door slam…” then what happened?
“I had a taste of the real world…” when what happened?
Who is “livin’ on Reds, vitamin C & cocaine”?
A big yellow taxi came and took away your old man
Sweet Jane - Ain’t it a shame…
Who don’t plant taters - or cotton, for that matter?
Death Don’t Have No Mercy In This Land…an old blues standard covered by the Grateful Dead.
Me and Bobby McGee
Who wore a shirt of violent green?
ahem…
Me & Bobbi were in Baton Rouge…
carry on…
:smack: Sorry, didn’t me and bobby end up in new orleans at some point?
- from “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”
Dan Rather? It’s “you” in the song, though.
If I’m a proper Jewish boy, whose family might love me?
That Ol’ Man River, he just keeps rollin’ along.
Who’s quick with a joke and to light up your smoke?
Julie
John at the bar (who’s sure he could be a movie star, if only…)
Who’s 41, but is still called “baby”?
That’s where the trucker was heading (and, since Kris was hetero, Bobbi was female - Pearl switched the sexes)
When I went down on you. 
Then it occured to me…you couldn’t be bad, Magneto was mad and Titanium too.
In addition…who couldn’t cut it no more?
Why, the Crimson Dynamo, according to Sir Paulie.
Pretty quick there, Biffy. 
Here’s a couple more:
Today is tomorrow, tomorrow today, and yesterday is weaving in and out. And the fuzzy white lines that the airplane leaves behind are…doing what?
If my mother was of the sky, who’s my father?
The first time I saw you, you were sitting backstage, wearing…what?
Sweetheart, sweetheart, are you fast asleep? Good. That’s the only time that I can really…what?
Some people say that there’s a woman to blame, but I know—it’s who’s damned fault?
You must try some of my purple berries. I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now. They’ll probably what?
Your father is of the earth.
It’s your own damn fault.
Mine:
1)Hey girl with the new clothes on, what can you do to me?
2)Girls ask and I define decision; boys ask and I do what?
And to bump a previous post by adding a clue:
A boy was tangled in his bike forever;a girl was missing two fingers. Who was confused? And who had a gun in his head?
They are drifting right in front of the waining of the moon
Keep us both alive.

Not sure, but is this Ray Charles? And if so she can Birdland all night long. Oh yeah! All right!
Not Ray Charles, Bill H. More recent than that.

Actually, the full lyric is “Boy and girl with the new clothes on,” but I didn’t want to give too much away.
There’s a rumor goin’ round that you’re Stone Cold Crazy, y’know.
“And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies, who never conceived of us…”
What were we?
“It’s a rainy night in Paris, and I’m sitting by the Sienne. It’s a pleasure to be…” what?
