Another hint for the ships with sails:
(Going to be easy now, I guess)
By their own words they played orgastic rock.

No, they are better than that.
Last hint:
A few years ago there was a hype around this band as the result of
a movie. And: the singer is burried at Pere Lachese in Paris.
For the title: mind the main keywords.

Re # 31:
You've got the band right.
What shall I do? Seems nobody's gonna guess the songtitle.
Songtitle: Ships and sails.
OK, Matthew, you're on to think of another question.

OK here's one:
"I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So it looked like I was deep.
I said some mumbo jumbo then
I told him he was going to sleep.
I robbed his rings, and pocket watch
And everything else I found
I had that sucker hipnotized.
He didn't even make a sound.
I proceded to tell him hi future then
Just as long as he was hangin' around, I said,
'The price of meat has just gone up,
and your ol' lady has just gone down.'"

Well, I just hooked up with this particular bbs item, so perhaps I have
the rules wrong, but this looks like a Frank Zappa quote to me. Some-
thing from _Apostrophe_ I believe. I'd have to go get my copy to come
up with the title of this cut.

CORRECT! 'bout time too. It is from Apostrophe. _Cosmic Debris_
to be exact.

If this seems tough to people (I have no idea what counts as tough
in this context) I'll happily give some clues:
"I'm considering, I'm considering
I'll find a favorite restaurant
And eat there every day
And at the nearby bowling alley
I'll bowl my cares away
Somedays I'll order chicken
Somedays I'll order fish
Somedays I'll have piroshkis
That's a Polish dish
And after bowling twenty frames
I'll sit and have a beer
Perhaps I'll meet a pretty girl
Who is a barmaid there
I'll get a job at a steak house
Wash dishes, mop floors
Yes, I know I won't get rich
Memphis is the kind of town
That won't feel like a trap
Besides I kind of like the way
It sits there on the map"

No idea....but it pretty much has to have been written in the late
80's on for me to remember!

Fair enough. This came out in 1987! Though it wasn't a
huge hit, it did get a good amount of airplay on the college
radio station to which I was addicted at the time.

Sounds like Lyle Lovett's type of lyrics. Eh?

Not, I'm afraid, Lyle Lovett. This is credited to a band rather than
a person. The band, I dare say, is even quirkier than Lyle. Though
it's music is difficult to pigeon-hole stylistically, it is pretty
clearly not, in the first instance, country.
One more hint for now: the band's name includes the name of a
(fictitious) person. If this hint also doesn't end up helping in
the next couple of days, I'll start posting broader (and more) hints.

I couldn't remember the name for the longest time. It's The Colorblind
James Experience -- out of upstate New York, I think. I assume the title
is "I'm Considering A Move to Memphis." Darned if I know what album
it's on, I just heard it on the radio once or twice.

Yes, you are dead right! It is the Colorblind James Experience and it
is
"I'm Considering A Move To Memphis." Your turn krj!

Anything I could think of would be either trivial or
impossible....
"Hey Mister McKinley / Why didn't you run
See that man a-comin' / With a Johnson .41
From Buffalo... to Washington...."
So maybe I better just punt...
