Got to admit I'm clueless as well.

Clue time?

The names of the women I'm looking for are in the titles to the songs.

Both groups have been around for awhile, one a progressive heavy metal the other kind of a Southern rock trio.

Number one is "Joan Crawford" by Blue Oyster Cult.

Number two is "Esther Be the One" by ZZ Top.

You got them Greg. Two good songs, especilly BOC's. I need to dig out Fire of Unknown Origin and give it a listen.

Hit us with your best shot Greg!

What song features vocals repeating the word "tit"?

Well, there was the Damned's version of the Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" renamed "Great Big Tits" and dedicated to Princess Di, but that's probably not what you're thinking of.

But you might be thinking of "Girl" by The Beatles.

I was indeed thinking of "Girl" by the Beatles. ("Tit tit tit tit, tit tit tit tit ...).

You're up, OM.

I cannot tell a lie: I was thumbing through my copy of MOJO's 2nd Beatles Special and the answer was just there.

Back with a question in a sec.

And here it is:

Where did Radiohead get the title for their first album?

From a Jerky Boys routine.

The full transcript of the prank call goes like this:

-Hello?
-Yeah?
-Pablo, honey?
-Yeah?
-Please,honey,come down to Florida.
-Huh?
-Come to Florida,honey,we need to...
-Yeah? Who's this?
-Pablo, honey, been washing your ass, Pablo?
-Who is this?
-Keep yourself clean, honey?
-Hello?
-Pablo?
-Yeah?
-Please come to Florida
-Who the hell is this?
-Oh you...you bastard,you.....
-Hello?
-Pablo..
-Yeah?
-You bastard.......Pablo?

And everybody says they're so gloomy...

Your turn, LL.

Let's see if I can word this without giving away the answer.

Name the alternative pianist whose debut album actually came out 3 years after her first album. Also, give the name used on the album and what the name means.

What I want is her name and the name used on the first album and what the name she used means.

I believe you're talking about Tori Amos, who issued a disc in the late '80s using the moniker Y Kant Tori Read.

If there's any meaning to it other than a play on those old Public Service films, I don't know what it is.

It was indeed Tori I was looking for as Y Kant Tori Read. The play on words was the fact, and still is, that Tori cannot read or write music. She plays by ear.

I think you got enough to give us the next one OM.

Sorry I'm back late, guys. Sorrier still that this question is so lame:

If it wasn't a bullet that laid him to rest, what was it?

Um ... a broken heart?

Nope.

Hint time: The jacket of the LP on which the song appears had two of its corners cropped off.

I'm still stumped.

Let's see.....

The singer opened for the reunited Dead at several shows earlier this year.

OK, here's the chorus:

"And today you just swear that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise.
But it wasn't a bullet which laid him to rest.
Was...."

The low spark of high-heeled boys.

I knew it was Steve Winwood from your second clue but I couldn't think of the song. Guess I just wasn't thinking of Traffic. Very good round. Kudos to you OM!

Right back atcha' LL, and thanks.

I saw Winwood in concert last week, and he played that song and a lot of other Traffic gems. Great show.

Your turn.

Bob Seger sang back up on what Eagle's hit song and what Eagle sang back up on Seger's hit Ramblin' Gamblin' Man?
