Why do fools fall in love?

Should I stay or should I go now?

Is Hotel California a brothel or a drug rehab centre.

When he just laid there, did she actually lay with him and forget the world?

This still doesn't clear up the mystery, although it might show why Mama Pyjama was so upset if there were three of them

Cecilia, Simon and Garfunkel... How they hell did someone jump in his bed and take his place so quickly? Where did this random dude come from?

I always thought that if they were chasing cars then maybe if he lay here perhaps they got run over

I imagine some kind of commune or else a really long party.

Do you, slightly formally, want some? (In French?)

Neither, one of the band said ina rolling stone interview it was symbolic of Beverly Hills and all the excesses of America in those days, and how much the band drank and how they were living,

So it wasn’t about an actual building as such, it was written as the symbolism that they saw represented the dark excess of Beverly Hills.

Where DID all the flowers go?
The answer to this (and maybe all your other questions) might possibly be blowing in the wind

Did anyone tell us how to get to Sesame Street?

Did anyone show us how to do The Locomotion?

Clawdy · 01/11/2021 21:44

The MeatLoaf one's been explained on here before - what he won't do is the fifth line of most of the verses : "I'll never forget the way you feel right now....." and "I'll never forgive myself if we don't go away tonight...." and so on! He explained it himself in an interview years ago.

kindlyensure · 01/11/2021 22:01

And did Mick Jones stay - or did he go (now)?

“BingoandBluey

I think it was the girl in the TV series Skins (whatever her name was)”

I thought it was about Sooz from the 90s teen show As If.
