Well rats. I was hoping to come up with a few more but I can only think of these questions about lyrics which say "my name is...". If anyone thinks of any other good questions, drop them in the comments.
Otherwise, just drop your answers to these:
1) I'm not Lisa. What's my name? [Whoa. Both Lisa and Julie hate this song]
2) I'm looking for a lover, looking for some fun, and I'm a son of a gun. What's my name? [Answer: My name is Bocephus]]
3) I looked at him and my blood ran cold. What's my name? [ktel: My name is Sue]
4) I sell the morning paper, sir. What's my name? [Joel: My name is Jimmy Brown]
#3 - Sue

Posted by: Lisa at December 17, 2007 06:13 AMOuch. Touched a nerve.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at December 17, 2007 06:24 AMI'm sorry. Chalk it up to PMS.
Posted by: Lisa at December 17, 2007 06:43 AMOkay. Rest easy, kid.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at December 17, 2007 06:48 AMLisa should win something for the first music trivia fuck off. That was sweet.
And - I'm a country boy from South Alabama. What's my name?
Posted by: nightfly at December 17, 2007 06:58 AMMy name is Willie McCoy but down home they call me Slim.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at December 17, 2007 07:19 AMLisa, for the record, Julies hate it too.
(Gives Ken the malojo and slips Val a $20 to do a FTFO cuz she's at work)
Posted by: Julie at December 17, 2007 07:30 AM4) I sell the morning paper, sir. My name is Jimmy Brown.
What's your mama's name, child? And if I'm asking, what's my name?
Posted by: Joel at December 17, 2007 07:37 AMDamn. I remember that song but not the name.

Posted by: Lisa at December 17, 2007 07:47 AMI'll be damned if I recall her face, but what's her name?
You don't have to call me "mister," mister; the whole world called me by a different name. What was it? (Bonus question, from the same artist: What is it hard to call my son?)
Posted by: Joel at December 17, 2007 01:04 PM1) Her name was Ann.
2) and Bonus) They're both trying to fire some seldom-used synapses but it's not working.

Have you paid your dues
Can you mo-o-oan the blues
Can you bend them guitar strings?
On the bonus question I have no clue, so I'll keep the name of the artist to myself.
Posted by: McGehee at December 17, 2007 04:42 PMWhen some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that:
"Have ya paid your dues, Jack?"
"Yessir, the check is in the mail."
-- Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Posted by: mojo at December 19, 2007 01:48 PMI should have gotten Bocephus. And speaking of him, David Allan Coe sang "It's hard to call Hank Williams Junior 'Junior' any more" for my bonus question.
Posted by: Joel at December 20, 2007 09:57 AMI should have gotten Bocephus.
Ditto, dang it. In my own defense though I'm more familiar with "Born to Boogie," which also uses the "My name is Bocephus" line -- I might have recognized other lyrics from the bluesy one, but not those in particular.
<slinks off to add "My Name Is Bocephus" to the list for my next download binge>
