Trivia for Recovering THREAD-a-holics

[Wildfire]

Wow, that's a lot of answers so fast!

rather than ding each one,

I'll go ahead and say they're all good (the Stand is a little shaky as a 'classic" but I'll go with it)

Also, since we had the rash of Romeo and Juliet references, I just came up with a NEW super secret bonus, that references Romeo and Juliet!

I'll put the score on the first as soon as I finish this post

And I am shamed that this one took me so long to think of, since Clapton is my favorite artist ...

Eric Clapton - "Tales Of Brave Ulysses"

I am shamed as well, for not making it one of the bonuses..

this may actually be a cream song, not Clapton solo, but we'll go with it

It's Clapton solo on Crossroads, m'boyo!

Dire Straights "Romeo and Juliet", later covered by the Idigo Girls.
Also, Big Auto Dynamite "The Bottom Line"
The road aheads` clear as a motorway
Give us this day our daily bread and send us on our way
Perchance to dream or take a holiday
Romeo oh Romeo
You gotta have your say

Yeah? huh, I think I have it on a Live Cream CD, but that doesn't mean much... actually it could be "Live at the Filmore" which is just EC...

EC has so much good stuff, its hard to separate really

I believe you are correct.. but you'll need to get the quote (and the arist) to get the point .

[Chris Ingersoll]

The Police - "Dont Stand So Close to Me" - ...like the old man in that book by Nabokov, referencing Lolita

Ya can't count the Bible or it breaks the competition because of the sheer volume of music that would qualify. I could sit here and do hymns and contemporary Christian tunes all day.

Hmmm, that's a good point. Chewey's song is popular music, but its a fine line... I can see that as a bit of a slippery slope.

I'll have to agree with you...

no Bible references

Okay, this one's a little outside the box, but that's where I like to live!
The Wellingtons (later rerecorded by The Eligibles), "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle", refrencing Robinson Crusoe:
No phone, no lights, no motor cars,
not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Crusoe,
it's primitive as can be.

FYI, that covers any and all variations of the Gilligan's Island theme song

LOL. Awesome answer!

Now the thread has a sub-thread. Will the madness ever end?

So....What if i were to say "Amish Paradise" By Wierd Al and quote:

"There's no phone, no lights, no motorcars, not a single
luxury,
Like robonson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be."

I'd count that section of Amish Paradise as a variation.

Okay, howabout:

Moxy Fruvous - My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors

Well you should see my story reading baby,
you should hear the things that she says,
She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed with Gabriel García Márquez."

For example...

[Splattercat]

Also from Moxy Fruvous: BJ Don't Cry

"From the Fruvous Quill comes a sorry tale of love and illin'
Romeo found the balcony too high, ended up with second billin'
She loved in triplicate, left his heart a blank to fill in
Lost his faith immaculate when cupid became a villian"
