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. 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."*bzzzt* Its still the Gilligan's Island song. |

Your other two are good though  The question will be open until some time late this evening, when I return from taking my wife out to dinner and a movie. I got a good one for the next question |

One other thing, a hint for the last super secret bonus...
Its from a solo male artist, in the Alt/Punk genre, who writes a good amount of his stuff about New York.

This ones a stretch
"Don Henley must Die" Mojo Nixon
He's a Tortured artist
Used to be in the Eagles
Now he whines
like a wounded Beagle
Poet of Dispare
puffed up with hot Air
He's Serious prestigious
and I just don't care

incognito, what's the literary work referenced in Ira Hayes? I'm a pretty big Johnny Cash song, and I've been going over it in my head and can't find the reference.

Are you talking about Elvis Costello's "retelling" of the Romeo and Juliet tragedy on his album The Juliet Letters?

Ozzy always said "Mr. Crowley" was based on a book he read about him. Does anyone know which one it was?
