Hey there, I see we’re doing Car Culture songs now!
(1) If she had wings, I know she could fly. She’ll do 140! What car is this?
(2) Who has a garden of gardenias at home, but when on the road, is the terror of Colorado Blvd? [This one’s gotta be a no-brainer!]
(3) I saw a lovely lady [at the beach, if I remember the words right], had a fantasy love affair with her, then she blew me a kiss and drove away. In what car?
(4) We already had a question about “fun fun fun till her daddy takes the T-Bird away.” But I challenged y’all to change ONE WORD (to a nearly rhyming one) to update this for the 21st century. Haven’t seen an answer yet! Clarification: This isn’t from any real song. I’m asking you to do some original creative writing here (hey, just one word)!
Speaking of fantasy love affairs (hint, hint), I don’t think anyone’s answered this yet:
(5) What reliable lover is always there, always cares, never argues, satisfaction guaranteed?
I don’t think anyone’s answered this yet. I didn’t even realize (until just now) this was a real question! I think we’ve already had an earlier question about this song, actually. –
I get another day older and deeper in debt because I owe my soul to the company store.
Here’s a review of a few from earlier posts:
A while back, maggenpye wrote:
Not sure I understand this question. Is there a typo here, or am I simply really not recognizing this?
Congratulations, njtt, for knowing what THIS says:
“A smallish sinusoidal waveform unexpectedly appeared in an undisturbed liquid medium.”
And this:
Yes, that’s the answer I had in mind.
Congrats to Labdad for getting this one: What shall happen to those who put their faith in fire?
Now, you’re just the right Doper to answer this one, that I posted a while back and haven’t seen answered yet: (paraphrased from original): She told me the town where I was born. She lit a candle with her eyes. But I had to pressure her to just tell me my fortune already, and when she did it was cryptic. What did I come to realize as I lay awake in bed that night?
Actually, I was thinking, “No love. No sleep at night. Nothing that’s nice. Nothing at all (at all)[sup]8[/sup] because I don’t get you.” Points off to me for asking a vauge question and points to you for giving a right answer to it.
Yes. 100 points (but who’s counting?)
Maybe you should have asked: “What don’t I get, and why?”
Certainly, if you know about Little Deuce Coupes, you MUST know who was the terror of Colorado Avenue!
Maybe we could make a game of asking lyrics trivia questions specially crafted to have multiple right answers. One of my earlier questions (about two young lovers sitting in a tree) would be an example. The one answer (already given) was K-I-S-S-I-N-G. But if it’s specifically a LEMON tree, what are their next several actions? Haven’t seen that answered yet!
Bingo! If there’s an audience to be found, he’ll be streaking around, inviting public critique!
What didn’t Oz never give to the Tin Man (that he didn’t didn’t already have)? (Cornflake, this reminds me of your question!)
What would I like to have, before you slip into unconsciousness?
What roadway is in my ears and in my eyes, beneath blue suburban skies?
OTOH, in what roadway, and in what city, did my friends get lost in the fog? (n.b., Yes, there really is such a street, in a hilly neighborhood where the streets twist and turn a lot. You’d get lost in the fog too.)
What else would you do, too, if it happened to you? At your own birthday party, no less!
As this thread goes on, I’m seeing more and more questions posted, with fewer and fewer being answered! Is it because people are losing interest, or because we’ve used up most of the easy ones by now?
It took the longest time before someone answered what petite oiseau I was going to abuse (alouette), and even that answer didn’t say what I was going to do. I think it’s time for a little French review!
(1) Easy: What did Brother John seem to be doing?
(2) Not-so-easy (unless you’re French): With what shall we water our furrows?
That must be the little old lady from Pasadena, but I think you mean Colorado Boulevard.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
I used to live one block off of Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. Do you know why the little old lady was getting her kicks there? (This requires some knowledge not to be found in a song, but you might be able to guess even so)
Little White Dove.
Nothing.
Another kiss, another flashing chance at bliss.
Penny Lane. (I’ve driven down it.)
Blue Jay Way (please don’t be long).
I’d cry (if I wanted to).
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
She’s so twentieth century - but what decade?
Who said, “Don’t talk about life or death, I’ve had enough of both”?
When they paved paradise and put up a parking lot, where did they put all the trees?
Wow, njtt, you’re right on top of this! Yes, you’re right, Colorado Blvd. I had it right the first time (see #501). Why the little old lady got her kicks there? Fairly well-educated guess: This was the original Route 66. The nearby Interstate now is I-10.
Sorry, everybody, I just can’t resist this one:
What body part of yours do I want to hold? Two answers.
(a) The SFW answer:
(b) The NSFW answer:
Yes, I wanna hold your hand. (Probably mentioned in a great many songs.)
The other body part? I’ll put it in a spoiler so other people can still try to answer this. If I was putting it out here for all to see, I might still put it in a spoiler:
I want to play with your ding-a-ling
njtt, pray tell, what other 2 or 3 possibilities did you have in mind? I think you and me should make a date!
Here's where we stand for this last page (I'll let someone else bring the entire thread up to date!) On edit, there have been a couple of posts since I started typing....

1) Who did Lord Donald's wife spy in the crowd on the first holiday of the year?
2) I told her I'm so happy I could die. What did she do?
3) You start wearing blue and brown. What are you doing?

2)She said "Drop dead" and left me for another guy.

(a) Your hand.
Oh come on, you must know naughty bits (male and female) apart from that. If you had say play with it instead of hold it I might have got it. (Probably not, though.)
