Music again.

Name the artist, song, and identify the connection!



1 Black bandana, sweet Louisiana; robbin' all a bank in the state of Indiana

2 When I was a boy, I spent my time sitting on the banks of the River Thyme. Watching all the ships going down the line. They were leavin'...leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin' me..Got to leave

3 Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her. Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.

4 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)

5 But terry and julie cross over the river. Where they feel safe and sound

6 And now London's got its gimmicks. And New York's had its minute

7 Twenty-five was the speed limit. Motorcycle not allowed in it.

8 These vagabond shoes. Are longing to stray

9 And when blondes and beautiful are multiple. They become so dull and dutiful

10 The lasses lost their crinolenes. And veils that hide their faces

4. Scarborough Fair (Simon and Garfunkel, I guess)

8. New York, New York (Sinatra)

10 The Blaydon Races (sp?) -- no idea who sang this, apart from us drunk as students a lot


Not seeing any obvious connections apart from place names yet ...

1 is something by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I can't remember what

3 is Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

7 is Nutbush City Limits, sung by Tina Turner

9 is, I think, Rotterdam, but I can't remember who by.

Number 1 is Dani California by the Chillis... I know this lyric well its one of the songs we sing that I know the words for. ;-)

As usual with these I have no idea for the rest! I am not terribly good at learning lyrics.
