Who shot the Sheriff?

Bob Marley sang about it, but just who did shoot him?

Just what frequency was it Kenneth???

Gloria Gaynor may well survive for now but eventually death will be unavoidable.

Any other music lies,myths,answers ?? post away.

Re: Who shot the Sheriff?

Well all I will say is that if you ask me who shot the sheriff I will have to ask my Lawyer to be present throughout the interview.

Does anyone know what the song by the verve "the drugs dont work" Is about as I had an argument that it meant a termminally ill person coming off their medication to see their beloved's face before they die.....Cheery stuff I know. He reckond it was to do with drugs and getting high or something.

Re: Who shot the Sheriff?

Actually, the singer did shoot the sheriff. It was the question of who murdered the deputy that was in dispute. Clearly the singer is owning up to one crime but wishes justice on whoever committed the other, or else he might just as well have confessed to both - you can only be hanged once. Perhaps the singer actually liked the deputy and is upset that anyone, possibly the deputy's family, should think him capable of being so treacherous. However, the sheriff, if I understand the song correctly, deserved whatever he got.

Now, if Gloria Gaynor had been the sheriff .....

He shot the sherrif, but he swears it was in self defence!

Here's a suicidal line to try on a modern lady "you're more than a woman to me". Talk about light the blue touch paper and retire...

Yup, that sheriff was a nasty piece of work, carrying out vigilante, 'Justice,' on an innocent man. The deputy's murderer is unknown.

Re: Who shot the Sheriff?

What I want to know is: when Meatloaf sings "I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that"...what is the "that" that he won't do?

Re: Who shot the Sheriff?

When Yes sings:
It can happen to you
It can happen to me
It can happen to everyone eventually

What can happen? They say a lot of things at the beginning of the song, like "You can fool yourself, You can cheat until youre blind" But i never understood the uniting theme. What is it that you must do to get to such a place? AND, once it happens to you, Then what happens?

Hey - I have a book on the complete history of Pink Floyd, and it says that they got their name from two cats (feline animals) that lived in the house where they jammed.

It was actually 32.7 Mhz, but I'm posting this from an anonymous wi-fi coffee shop so the government wont be able to track me down for telling you that.

Umm listen to the lyrics ?

'That,' changes every so often. It refers to the bad things he'll never do to her (walk out, fool around, beat her up etc.).

Re: Who shot the Sheriff?

Since I obviously can't choose between them:

Just how much is a Whole Lotta Love?

Exactly what Shattered?

Did anyone ever find Queen Somebody to Love?

Just how much Closer to the Heart does it have to get?

Going for the One what? (At least one Chronsman may have some insights here!)

What temperature was the Heat of the Moment?
