What did Paul Simon and Julio do down by the school yard that was so bad??

Did Richard Marx actually leave her by the river safe and sound?

What other mysteries do you need solved?

Has anyone found the way to San Jose yet?

Crepuscularshadows · 01/11/2021 18:35

It's it not "you, me and Julio down by the school yard"? I think I read that in a lyrics booklet a long time ago. Puts a slightly different complexion on "something sexual".

Oh and if you have to ask if he will love you tomorrow, the answer is probably no!

Who the fuck is Alice?

Who DID shoot the deputy?

@DameAlyson

He jumped off it didn't he (or she)

Yes, but before that he and a girl were seen throwing something off it.

I always inferred it was a baby. Billy Jo got the girl pregnant but she managed to hide it till she gave birth then they chucked it off the bridge to keep it secret.

Sorry, hopefully someone can give a less grisly suggestion.

I want to know where’s your mama gone?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 01/11/2021 18:45

Did Rick Astley ever give her up?

MK19590 · 01/11/2021 18:46

All the things she said... but what things did she say?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 01/11/2021 18:46

There was an entire thread once devoted solely to Hazard, don't know where it is now.

Mochudubh · 01/11/2021 18:46

Then I think she guilted BJ into jumping off the bridge, or made a pact that they would both jump but she didn't, thus keeping her terrible secret forever.

Oh yeah, the great mystery. My Mum was convinced it was an illegitimate baby, no proof just her imagination.

@BingoandBluey

What is the girl with five colours in her hair actually called
I think it was the girl in the TV series Skins (whatever her name was)

Should I Stay or Should I Go? - Well, what did they decide to do in the end?

Did Tony Christie make it to Amarillo?

Another theory was that she'd dumped him and they were throwing away the ring he'd given her.

Whatever it was, her family was clearly oblivious. Could she hide a pregnancy and birth when they all live and work closely together?

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit I was intrigued by your comment as I love that song and had a quick Google, could be this one?

What WAS the frequency Kenneth?

SkylarFerris · 01/11/2021 20:27

Could it be magic?

If the whole place is pickled
And the people are pickles for sure
Does anyone know if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 01/11/2021 20:32

Was he needed when he was sixty four?

What is it that you don't do for love?

SkylarFerris · 01/11/2021 20:34

Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby?
