    This Bird Has Flown (aka Norwegian Wood) by the Beatles? My favorite Beatles song, btw...

    #Debi - Mine too, but I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.

    I know it's wrong but, not to put to fine a point on it, (say I'm the only bee in your bonnet), this made me earworm Birdhouse in your soul by TMBG. So, thanks fer that... :)

    Lesley: Well, that would make more sense. Suppose it would've helped if I'd known that... :)

    Debi: And it's one of those things that I have NO IDEA why I know. A lot of random junk ping pongs around in my brain!

    Angela-la-la - I miss Fussy Bitch.
    And what's wrong with They Might Be Giants?

    Lesley - Yup.

    Lesley again - I'll be honest* - the name Billy Powell didn't ring a bell for me, but when I heard yet another member of Lehnerd Skinnerd had bitten the dust, well...

    #Debi again - Bless you for not cheating and using the Google. I would have.

    Lesley yet again - Are you stalking me? Oh. Ok.

    * That's related to an upcoming post btw

    Well, then, I suppose I also will be honest: I did use Google, but only to confirm that This Bird Has Flown really was a song title and not a lyric. It didn't occur to me to Google Mr. Powell...

    Didnt Lynard Skynard have a tragic airplane accident losing a bunch of band members back in the 80s?

    That must have been a very LARGE band if they can keep losing them and still tour...

    Two members died in the plane crash

    One of the survivors was then in a car crash and ended up in a wheelchair before dying

    One of the survivors is now a registered sex offender

    Leon The Hat Wilkinson died of a hat attack, whereas Billy No Hat Powell died of a heart attack

    The bloke who replaced the bloke who survived the plane crash only to end up in a wheelchair before dying, also died

    If I was a Suvern rocker, I'd be looking for a safer gig

    PS - their original drummer was called Robert Burns, but I don't think it's the same one
