By the way, a clue to one of my favorite songs is that the band what did it was popular in the 70's and apparently melted into a disunited jargle in the 80's. Also, the word clue was originally also spelled as clew before clue was popularized. Both spellings came from an ancient word for a ball of yarn or string or twine or other stuff of that kind. This was from the greek legend of Theseus traversing a big maze and unraveling a ball of yarn so as to find his way back out after his successful duel with some old Minotaur. By the middle ages, the word clew and also its alternative word clue meant 'an object or event which leads to the unraveling of a mystery'. By nowadays, it has nothing to do with yarn and it's spellt clue.
As well as I can remember, pretty much everything and everybody at all popular in the seventies melted into a disunited jargle in the eighties—the Eagles, Monty Python, the New York Yankees, John Travolta, the Democratic Party...
ReplyDeleteHmm, Yeah... A few things that were popular in the 70's continued, though...
DeleteLike tartar sauce, The Rolling Stones, light globes... Super bag...
That kinds of stuff. The band isn't one of them, but I'm glad to see my hints are really good!
Well, they're good at initiating conversation. Not so good at helping anyone get any closer to the answer. Try something connected to the title of the song itself—say, a riddle, anagram, or pun.
DeleteInn on a western valve. Fabrossi's best spirits. Places of mindlessly undivoted weather. Love the song, mildly dislike the location. The sneak is a moot sandal.

So your favorite song is The Liberty Bell?

Delete...NO.
Unless you're talking about the Liberty bell march. I like that one, but it's not one of my favorites.
