“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.

I think you're right. The actress was in an episode of New Tricks (played Joe Absolom's girlfriend)

What was he doing New Year's Eve? (And did he subsequently agree to spend it with Ella?)

Clawdy · 02/11/2021 11:34

Where Do You Go To My Lovely? has always intrigued me. All the references in the song are to France - the Sorbonne, Boulevard St Michel, even her name, Marie Claire.....yet she’s from Naples! Must be another story there!

What's love but a second hand emotion?

Bananalanacake · 02/11/2021 16:28

Bluntness, thanks for that. I watch the Hotel California video on you tube with subtitles so I know all the words, it's the bit about 'you can never leave' that gets me.

Do yo really want to hurt me?

@DameAlyson

What did Billie Joe McAllister throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge?
I think I know this? Billy Joe McAllister and the narrator of the song secretly had a baby, and they threw it off the Tallahase Bridge. The guilt drove Billy Joe to commit suicide. The narrator slowly starts to lose her mind and spends her time endlessly picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge.
