Calling All Rock and Roll Dinosaurs and Music Trivia Heads!

Since you people are way too quick with your answers, I'll supply an amusing anecdote. The "the swans that live in the park" line is courtesy of Ringo. He stormed into Clapton's hotel room one night on acid, and said something along the lines of, "GUYS! Do you know about the the swans? They live in the park!"

Lol! I'd never heard that.

109 I think is

Games Without Frontiers -Peter Gabriel

I always thought it was interesting too that the song was called "Badge". Still don't know why.

Because George wrote "Bridge" on the sheet but Clapton couldn't read his writing. True story.

Sounds sorta familiar, I will chew on it. Correct on song #109.

Don't chew on it, smoke on it. You only got a couple of months (didn't mean for that to sound so ominous).

I guess I stumped you with mine. It was

Blue Oyster Cult - (Then Came The) Last Days Of May from the debut album.

 

Stumped for sure, I only know a handful of BOC songs and that is definitely not one of them.

 

So. . . how about: Helpless People on Subway Trains
