The 2020 non-classical association thread

Hi Jayne! I've NO idea why 'Itchycoo Park' but, following your advice in another place and 'going with the flow', the OBVIOUS link has to be Elton John's 'Benny And The Jets', doesn't it?
Cheers

Sorry I missed this...Sugar Town and Itchycoo Park are both about....hallucinogenic substances, at a time when the artists would say anything to deny it... anything with dust or sugar or lines in the title etc., and as for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds......

Elton and drugs? Its all too beautiful isn't it?

Once again, I don't really know what's going on - somebody seems to be annoyed about something - is VAR the same as TMO?
Duane Eddy: Because They're Young would seem to follow on from #133, would it not?

Very clever! I didn't realize what 'Sugar Town' was about - you'll be telling me next that The Flowerpot Men were up to something, possibly something involving Weed...... You seem to have had a much more exciting life than me!

I really don't understand the connections. I threw an O'jays song into the mix and it seems accepted despite any obvious relevance. Other ones seem to generate dispute. I don't get it. And it makes the thread go out of synch.
