Okay, here we go; first the answers, and some commentary, and
then the winners:
"Has anybody seen the bridge?"
"I ain't seen the bridge!"
"Where's that confounded bridge?"
-- Led Zeppelin "The Crunge"/"Houses of the Holy"
...as Page and Plant try to find the "bridge", a blues figure.
Rich Rosen--I don't know who they swiped it from; I've never heard
of the Tom Tom Club.
"Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!"
-- David Bowie "Suffragette City"/"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
and the Spiders from Mars"
...also on "David Live"...and, I think, on "Changesonebowie"
"Have you seen Junior's grades?"
-- Van Halen "The Cradle Will Rock"/"Women & Children..."
"Same as it ever was..."
-- Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime"/"Remain in Light"
...spoken over the (sung) lyrics "Letting the days go by/Let the
water pull me under"...
"Dominance...submission"
-- Blue Oyster Cult "Dominance and Submission"/"Secret Treaties"
...sort of Heavy Metal S&M...
"But I gave you life!"
-- Emerson, Lake, and Palmer "Karn Evil 9, 3rd movement"/
"Brain Salad Surgery"
...followed by "What else would you do?/To do what was right!/
I'm perfect- are you?"...and those cross-channel
synthesizer bleeps...
"We got the Detroit Demolition here for ya tonight!"
-- J. Geils Band "Hard Drivin' Man"/"Live (Full House)"
...preceded by "You heard of the Philly Freeze?/You heard of the
Boston Boogie?" and followed by a full-tilt speaker-blowing boogie...
"Grand piano."
-- Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells"/"Tubular Bells"
...and he mentions lots of other instruments, too...another possibility
is Pink Floyd, from "The Wall", wherein someone apparently uses it
as in "...to prop up my mortal remains"...
"I certainly was in the right..."
-- Pink Floyd "Money"/"Dark Side of the Moon"
...some folks maintain that it's "race", not "right"...
"And in my dream, I thought I heard...the truth behind the spoken word."
-- Robin Trower "Twice Removed From Yesterday"/"Twice Removed
From Yesterday"
"I'm gonna play Lucille for ya now..."
-- B.B. King "Why I Sing the Blues"/"Live and Well"
..."Lucille" is B.B. King's guitar...Dick Dunn gets kudos for coming
up with this one...
"Play it pretty for Atlanta."
-- Lynyrd Skynyrd "Free Bird"/"One More From the Road"
"You...me...them...everybody"
-- Blues Brothers "Everybody"/"The Blues Brothers Soundtrack"
...at the end of Akroyd's rap...
"I'll be six feet underground, dead in my grave, and long forgot!"
-- David Bromberg "Will Not Be Your Fool"/"How Late'll Ya Play Till?"
...followed by numerous other specifications of how long it will be
until David will be that oh-so-bad chick's fool...great blues
wind-up ending...
"Space is the total absence of time and of matter."
-- Hawkwind "Space is Dark"/"Space Ritual Alive in London and Liverpool"
...another one of their spaced-out poems, read over synthesizer drone...
John Dilley is the only one to catch this...
"But now we must descend...for there is another side to this vision."
-- Ray Manzarek "The Golden Boat"/"The Golden Scarab"
...just as the track ends...
"Is that you, Harry?"
-- Harry Nilsson "Take 54"/"Son of Schmilsson"
...nobody got this one...it's at the end of the cut...
"'course I knew who it was..."
-- REO Speedwagon "157 Riverside Avenue"/"A Decade of Rock and Roll"
...talking about Gary Richrath calling up to play his guitar...
"We have assumed control"
-- Rush "Grand Finale (2112)"/"2112"
"Look out!"
-- Steely Dan "Bodhisattva"/"Countdown to Ecstasy"
...just before Skunk Baxter rips off a sizzling solo...this might
also be on the Beatles' "White" album, on "Helter Skelter".
"But I got the crystal ball!"
-- Frank Zappa "Cosmik Debris"/"Apostrophe"
...followed by "...he said, and held it to the light/So I snatched it/
All away from him/And showed him how to do it right"...
"I'm at the bottom of the pool."
-- Pablo Cruise "I go to Rio"/"World's Away"
"...it's gonna take us all summer to unwind!"
-- Black Oak Arkansas "Up"/"Live-Raunch 'n Roll"
...Alice Cooper "School's Out" was a good guess...
"Father, I want to..."
-- The Doors "The End"/"The Doors"
...also on some other Doors albums...
"Goodnight Eileen, wherever you are."
-- ZZ Top "Hi-fi Mama"/"Deguello"
And now, the top finishers:
ihuxj!tucson (B.A. Salzmann): 36
purdue!jad (John Dilley): 32+4
pucc-h!gor (Andy Wilcox): 29
dciem!jeff (Jeff Richardson): 28+8
houti!wn (Bill Nemec): 20+4
pur-ee!yong (Patrick Yong): 20+4
The "+N" part represents answers given that were different from mine, but
which may be right...so, I suppose I should probably declare B.A. Salzmann
the winner for the purely arbitrary reason that he got most of the answers
that I had down...so, okay, what the hell: ihuxj!tucson is hereby declared
numero uno, and on him is bestowed fame and honor, and my copy of IEEE
Trans. PAMI Vol. 4 No. 5, Sept. 1982...as soon as I get his mailing address.
