Trivia from songs

What would it be very fine to order in Carolina?

Now it’s a brilliant mistake.

I’m so happy you got that. I was beginning to think I was the only one up on my Elvis Costello.

These are still unanswered:

Who watches over you?
QUOTE]

Is that the blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch?

What good’s a disease that won’t hurt you?

A bootleg

If your woman is devilish, what are you two options?

Why no good, no good at all. It’s like seeing-eye chocolate.

It’s LSD, money, or a dog. Take your pick!

Any of those have two-prong crowns? :dubious:

Once, in the 1970s, I was down the pub and this girl I knew pointed out this rather scruffy looking guy, who wsa also having a beer and chatting to some people, to me. She said he was Peter Green who used to be in Fleetwood Mac. I didn’t believe her, but turns out it was true. Apparently, when members of Fleetwood Mac lose it, they come to my home town. It seems that Danny Kirwan did too (although I am not aware of ever having seen him there).


OK. Another question (though lots of mine are still outstanding):
On which TV channel is it just possible that you might hear an alien suggesting that the all the children be allowed to boogie?

Channel 2 of course.

Got it. You’re faster than a wind blown answer.

Yes Dr.

She’s a single woman too.

One question left:
What makes me know that there is nothing we can do?

Knowing me and knowing you! :smack:

Yes (and I thought that that one might be quite hard).


Just for that, here’s what (I think) is a pretty obscure one:
I think old Israel’s Arab plain is very pretty. What other region do I think is comparably pretty?

Who are the Syrians mad at?

A few Dream Theater tidbits:

There is a woman who only wears black, never fixes her hair, and never wears makeup. Where does she find herself whenever she wakes up?

What was Mike Portnoy armed with when he broke out of the Glass Prison?

What are the weather conditions like at daybreak at the bottom of a lake?

The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
(And Baghdad does whatever she please!)

I thought about posting this one myself!

To watch the island bridges blow.
They turned our power down,
And drove us underground,
But we went right on with the show!
[Miami, 2016. Billy Joel]

Arguably ambigious; the lyric is “I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna/ And was blowin’ sad while Bobbie sang the blues”.
What happened to Virgil Caine’s brother when he was just eighteen?

What did I find as the New York sunset disappeared?

And, getting slightly obscure, where did Casey go when he left the Underground?

Greetings, All! I’ve followed this-here board sporadically for years, without signing up, but I’m having so much fun following this-here thread that I just have to sign up and try my hand at it! May I?

(1) Hallelujah, the Lord worketh in mysterious ways! When the folks of this evangelical congregation fell away from the Lord’s Way, He sent a small wild animal to set them straight again. They reformed! They repented! They even volunteered for missions in the Congo! They shouted “Hallelujah!” Amen, brother!
(a) What congregation was this?
(b) In what city?
© What little animal inspired them to do all that and more?
(d) What exactly did that little critter do, to have such an effect?

(2) We should all hope our friends always speak truthfully to us, wouldn’t you think? In what dreary place did I wake up, hoping that a friend had lied to me?

(3) Okay, here’s an obscure one (Hint: Peter Paul and Mary): The bow-and-arrow hunter, injudiciously hunting in the evening as it was getting dark, accidentally and tragically shot his betrothed lover dead, as the shaft found its mark. (Oops.) In addition to the waning light, what circumstance led him to make such a grievous blunder? Bonus points: Write a 1200-word essay expounding on the moral of this song.

(4) On the subject of mayhem, try this: It’s springtime in the French countryside! The air is fresh and clear, the trees are leafing, and the sky is filled with les petites oiseaux singing their dainty little bird songs. But danger lurks nearby, for I have evil intent! I am going to capture one particular sweet lovely petite oiseau and do evil, terrible carnage to her! What sweet lovely petite oiseau have I target for doom, and what exactly am I going to do to her?
Need a hint? Here is the particular petite oiseau I will defile, which should give you a hint about what exactly I will do:

the Skylark (Can you say that in French?)

(5) For you U. S. History buffs, this song is based on a REAL LIVE event that really happened, you could do some on-line research to find out the details! What (besides Rick Perry) screamed through Texas like a mad dog cyclone?
Bonus points for you history buffs:
– When did this happen? (Song title gives the year, but you might be able to find the exact date.)
– What exactly was it, in a little more detail than given (although implied) in the song?

(6) A deaf, dumb, and blind kid would be the perfect victim for a pedophiliac relative, baby-sitter, or whatever, to to WHAT with?

(7) Having been forsaken umpty-ump years ago by her ideal lover, she spent her days dreaming that he would return and take her away to his fabulous mansion. To keep the memory (or fantasy) alive, what memento did she appear to wear all the time?

– Senegoid

A Yankee laid him in his grave.
