Musical Questions

Is Big Jim the Jim you don’t mess around with, just as you don’t go tugging on Superman’s cape?

  1. Humpty!
  1. You’v been a Moonshiner
  1. Career
  1. Johannesburg

(According to “Oliver’s Army” by Elvis Costello)

  1. Little Boy Lost

(“Visions of Johanna,” Bob Dylan)

Everybody’s right so far - these are the only two left:

  1. What does a patient boy do?
  2. Where would you find a desperate man (although you might have to really look)?

The very one!

  1. He waits, he waits, he waits.

One more - it’s actually the one I thought would go first.

  1. Where would you find a desperate man (although you might have to really look)?
  1. The Keystone Bridge?

It wasn’t intended to be John Hardy (although “desperate little man” would have been good question material). The artist I had in mind is much loved on the SDMB.

Is the answer “hiding in Honduras” from Warren Zevon’s “Lawyers, Guns and Money”?

Yes it is - that does it for this set.

  1. What did I bring you that waited around by your door?
  2. What would you do if I said what was on my mind?
  3. Why did I shoot a guy in Reno?
  4. Why would I want a doctor to take your picture?
  5. Why did I take what I could get?
  6. Where do they expect it least?
  7. What words will make me out and out?
  8. What is gonna drive my Pappy to drinkin’?
  9. Where do I have to lose my mind?
  10. What did they find in a garbage can?
  1. If I don’t quit drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln.

What a great song!

  1. Just to watch him die.
  2. If I don’t stop drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln.
  1. So I can look at you from inside as well.

Funny, but I have no idea what song this is from. I’m singing these lines to myself (I want a doctor… to take your picture… so I can look at you from inside as well) over and over, but it’s not helping. It’s making me hate the song (whatever it is) a little, though.

Never mind - got it.

  1. Cause I think that any love is good loving.
  1. The funnybone

Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that’s where they expect it least–Blinded by the Light

It is from *Turning Japanese *by the Vapors. One of the greatest songs ever!
