[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] Steely Dan. Oleander is the giveaway, that’s from “My Old School.” Kerosene is from “Kid Charlemagne.” Zombie is from “Haitian Divorce,” although I first thought of “All You Zombies.” Can’t think offhand of where Blueprint is from.

Yep, and “rubbing” is from “Minstrel in the Gallery.” I was trying to stick with some of Tull’s best-known songs; I just realized I should have used “nuts” from “Bungle in the Jungle”! ---

**Labdad** –You’re quite correct, sir! I assumed that Vladivostok would be the most obscure of the 4, but I just love that he managed to work it into a song. It’s from the song Turbulence off of Transverse City. “We’ve been fighting with the Muhajedeen, down in Afghanistan. Comrade Gorbachev, can I go back to Vladivostok, man?” ---
