Half-credit. Blue*print * blue.
Dammit. I am screwing up these “dress” ones. What does that mean, I wonder?
Of course, it’s done up in blueprint blue and sure looks good on you.
Taj Mahal and Eiffel Tower.
Where can you hear Miss Molly rockin’?
What happens when “The Girl” who “Can’t Help it” looks at white bread? When she winks her eye?
Belushi, that is if Jello Biafra can be believed.
Here are some from me:
If I’m waiting for an invitation to arrive, what will i have on my eyes?
How did they find Mary Bellows?
What is your job if you “…only talk in facts”, “…know you’re always right” and “…know how to prove it step by step”
If the big hand’s on 120, what’s the little hand on?
I got up early one morning, I took come cocaine, then what did I do?
You’re the dirty hack that shot your woman down.
We’re only gonna die, according to Greg Graffin. Why?
Correct
Fort Smith, Arkansas (“Tom Ames’ Prayer” by Steve Earle)
- Secrets, planets, strangers, and islands (THAT was a tough one!)
- Build the atomic bomb (build the best big stick, to turn the winning trick)
- The blacksmith and the artist, (reflect it in their art)
- The dancer, who limps across the floor and closes her bedroom door.
Nicely done.

Now I eat humble pie, who did I used to be?
One puff, two puffs, high in a dream, on what?
What is “cheese with the perfect disguise”, and where will you find it?
Correct
Absolutely right.
I had to give up on the “endless flood” quote and go to the liner notes. I knew it would be from one of two albums with a couple of songs that I just don’t listen to, as much as I hate to admit it.
The Entre Nous one is oddly difficult. I remember camping out for Hold Your Fire tickets. We were all throwing out trivia questions, and nobody out of the 15 or 20 of us awake at that point could get all four.
Since I seem to have killed the thread, I should at least post the answers.
I used to be the King of Spain, from King of Spain, by Moxy Früvous.
High on catnip, from Catnip Dream, by Shonen Knife.
Velveeta is cheese with the perfect disguise, and “it’s on everything that you can buy” at a family restaurant, from Family Restaurant, by Uncle Bonsai.
Now that I am ninetythree, I don’t give a damn, you see.
If the woman peabah, and the man peab, and the band boys toil for the lemon scratch,
The lily root, golly root, belly root, ooh.
And the famous scrandy-scratch-scratch.
Those are some perfectly good memory neurons, that could have been used for something useful.

- What was unusual about the Indian in “Kaw Liga”?
- In “Uneasy Rider,” what does Charlie Daniels do just before he gets into his car to speed away from the bikers?

His heart was made of knotted pine, as was, I presume, the rest of him
Eddie Van Halen, wasn’t it?
Two semi serious questions -
If I shot the sherrif, but not the deputy, who did?
In “Get Out Of Denver”, Bob Seegar starts out in a '60 Caddie, lights out in a pick up truck (after the failed drug buy) but by verse three is back in his Caddie. How did he make the switch back?
and finally, what is Gypsy Davy’s hobby?
mm
My take was always that the sheriff shot the deputy when the deputy tried to stop him from out-right murdering the singer, but I could be wrong.
Behind Rose’s Cantina?
I think the part before that is “Après tous les bons jours” (After all the good days).
And the song in question is actually “Ma Belle Amie.” (“Ma Cherie Amour” is, of course, a Stevie Wonder song.)
Self-nitpick (hit “submit” too fast!): the Steveie Wonder song is actually titled “My Cherie Amour.”
Cradled in Felina’s arms (that he dies for).
