[Trollheart]

Musical conundrums and questions that have been asked, down the years: sorted!

"Somewhere over the rainbow"

Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Who'll Stop the Rain?" And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain? Answer: nobody. Rain is a natural phenomenon and can't be stopped by anyone. You can shelter from it, but you can't stop it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Freebird": If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? Course I would! Er, what's your name again...?

Isley Brothers, "Harvest for the World": When will there be a harvest for the world? Never. Corporate greed and capitalism will keep the poor poor, the hungry hungry and the dispossessed without anything. Harvest for the rich, the powerful, the influential, certainly. Harvest for the world? Not in my lifetime I think. Or yours.

Carpenters, "(They Long To Be) Close To You": Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? I think the big bag of birdseed I carry might have something to do with it!

"Close to you"

Peter Sarstedt, "Where Do You Go To, My Lovely?": Where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed? Um, nowhere, unless her bed is motorised and on wheels...

"Where do you go to my lovely"
