And BTW, njtt and everybody else, while you’re looking back at #501 –
I’m still waiting for #3, 4, 5. ETA: Okay, I see cornflakes got #5.
What else am I waiting for? It’s been too long a time with no peace of mind.
And I’m also still waiting for three birds from the above ornithology quiz (#377 above)!
Sorry for missing 'ya, njtt
A few more:
Name the exact time when you made me weep and want to die.
Who comes to me when I’m sad, bearing a thousand smiles and giving freely of herself?
In spite of an impending ice age AND the approach of the sun to the earth; the breakdown of machinery, a wheat blight and nuclear disaster, why do I have no fear?
Cornflakes, you and I think alike. (GMTA) –
I too envision that, after a week or so, I’ll go through this whole thread, find the unanswered ones, and re-post them afresh in a new thread. Since they will be ones that no one got, I will suggest, under the circumstances, that the rules be opened up for googling and youtube searching.
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river.
I thought fer sure I knew what song, but not the exact answer, so I googled it (is that half-cheating?) and found I was totally wrong.
But from that, I derive this question: What do I ask the stars up above every night?
Besides the busted neon sign?
A puppy in the parlor
A skillet on the stove
A smelly old blanket (that a Navajo wove)
Popcorn in the popper
A porker in the pot
Pie in the pantry (and the coffee’s always hot)
Sausage (in the morning)
A party (every night)
A nurse on duty (if you don’t feel right)
Chicken on the table (but you’ve gotta say grace)
Something cookin’ (always)
Also:
Rafters (raised high)
Songs and tales from yesteryear
Folks (some from right next door and some from out of town)
No frowns (leave ‘em by the door)
Apple brandy (by the keg)
Sawdust (on the floor)
A hankerin’ (since Old Joe’s Place is where you go if you have one, I’d assume that at least one can be found there)
(Yup, that’s all from memory)
Who rides a big motor bike and likes to get into fights?
Why do I keep my fingernails long?
Jerry never finished first, but he never finished last either. What ultimately happened to him?
+1
Don’t worry; you will groan when you figure that one out.
Don’t know that one, but it somehow calls this to mind: Who is like a dog without a bone, an actor out alone?
What species of critter was my good friend Jeremiah?
C U L8R, folks! Gotta go do something useful for at least a little while today!
Well, there’s Sonny Barger, but I don’t know of any songs about him…
The first was on the tip of my tongue, but I had to google it. On the other hand, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
Well done, and exactly right!
Riders on the storm
Sleeping?
Cry if I want to.
Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress but when they’re held for pleasure they’re the balls that I like best
You nailed it Enginerd.
and or but yes Sodalite.
Why thank you njtt.
Two left:
(2) She wants you but she asked me to dance. Who is she? (hint: up-thread there was discussion of questions with multiple answers. This is sort of the opposite of that.)
(3) Where are the follower of Thespis, the prosperous pair, the leader, his assistant and miscellaneous others following the accident?
Inspired by an earlier question:
You may know that Running Bear loved Little White Dove but did you know that he never cared enough about her tender love until she did what?
(What was Brother John doing?)
Sleeping: C’est vrai! Et maintenant, the other French question, Sir Prize: With what shall we water our furrows?
Some balls… : There’s really a song out there that says THAT? :eek:
Yep.
Oooh, **njtt **-
1970’s, she knows the right things to say, she’s got the right clothes to wear cos she’s a modern girl now aw yeah a modern girl yeah gagagagaga, a modern girl now aaaaaa yeaaaah
She’s so modern!
When I was front row at the Boomtown Rats concert, Wellington town hall, 1980, Bob changed the lyric to she’s so 1980’s. He waved to us! I’m still excited.
Remark I just saw on another thread made me think of these:
(1) Why did Charlie get stuck forever on the subway?
(2) In this place where you can hide and never be found, what don’t you have to worry about?
And I still want to know why Henry can’t fix the hole in the bucket. C’mon, this one is well-known, I always thought.
This one, maybe not so well known: Still wondering why, when Eddie Brown fell into the deep dark well and drowned, why did it take the villagers so long to get there to try to rescue him? And closely related to that question: What was Eddie Brown’s full name? Bonus points if you can spell it right, or even if you can spell it at all!
He had one too many cold beers (bars?) one night; wrapped himself around a telephone pole.
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Yes. Though, given that it came out in 1978, this might hold the record for song that most quickly became dated.
I thought that had already been answered, but the ultimate reason is that there is a hole in my bucket.

With which leading British politician can we share the women and the wine?
Rock and roll: they say its going to die (they are very premature), but we had better face it. What is it we just don’t know? (There could be a knighthood in this for somebody.)
Your father is interested in methods for the the manufacture of sealing wax. What is about to happen to you?
