Senegoid:
Here’s another one that’s been stuck in my ear for the last few weeks, now maybe I’ll stick it in all your ears too, dear dopers:
(1) A smallish sinusoidal waveform unexpectedly appeared in an undisturbed liquid medium. The two most usual causes were notably absent, though. (Of course, that’s why the medium was undisturbed! ) What were those absent causes?
Pebble and wind (without opening any spoilers - or googling!).*
*ETA: Or reading maggenpye ’s post just above.

Nobody’s going to go to school today, shes going to make them stay at home. Tell me why?
If the road does not end in Detroit, or even Katmandu, when will it end?
There are no reasons. What reason do you need?

Clearly you know, but, despite that, we are given an answer to that question.
Your’s is not the answer I was expecting, but I can’t really say you are wrong.
[Note that my whole question is directly quoted from the song (omitting a few lines between the two sentences), which I thought was rather cool.]

To tell the truth, I figured that you probably wanted the obvious answer (“I don’t like Mondays”), but since the song does provide an alternate explanation, I thought you might want that one. I couldn’t come up with a clever way to include both, otherwise I would have done that. Great song though.

We had that with the Kids question (Thankyou for the music) - she wanted one specific answer and got the actual (but not obvious) answer from the lyrics. It took a fair amount of … discussion and in the end I had to play the “When I was twelve ABBA were still releasing songs so I win.” Which is never satisfying.
1 If that music’s lost its taste, what flavour should you try?
2 If the photo’s on the dashboard, and every streetlight reveals it in reverse, what have you been doing?
3 Trying to make ends meet, you’re a slave to the money, then what happens?
4 12 badgers, what’s next

What caused the “terrible mess” to begin with?
(1) By the time I’m sober I’ve forgotten what I’ve had. What does everybody tell me?
(2) She wants you but she asked me to dance. Who is she?
(3) Where are the follower of Thespis, the prosperous pair, the leader, his assistant and miscellaneous others following the accident?
(4) I’m a friendly stranger in a black sedan. I got pictures, got candy. Won’t you hop inside my car? What am I?
(5) What’s your function?

When I woke up on a Chelsea morning, what was the first thing that I saw?
How many eight-by ten color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one were offered as evidence?

What would I find at Old Joe’s Place?
