Name a Character, Guess the Song

Mine . . .

 

Your turn to post.

 

It's now more than 15 minutes since my "Daniel Ortega" was solved, so it's now open slather. Anyone can now post the next one.

 

Doc Ellis

 

Fun fact about Dock Ellis. If you present him as Ellis, D. you get . . . well . . .

 

Indeed, lol!

 

No reply it seems for Doc (or Dock) Ellis for over two hours, so looks like I'm allowed to jump in with...

Oliver Stone

 

There seem to be quite a lot going unsolved here. Probably because there are no points awarded, so Catfish is not bothering with this thread.

 

Oliver Stone's time is up.

Next one:

"Sonny Bono"

I won't be surprised if this goes unsolved as well.
Note that the name is used in full. It's not sufficient to name a song that simply mentions Sonny and Cher.

 

I’m just gonna keep answering “We Didn’t Start the Fire” until it’s the right answer !

 

Hmmm.

New rule: Anyone answering incorrectly with "We Didn't Start the Fire" loses ten points immediately and is banned for three days.

 

Haha, well I think it's been an hour, so how about Harry Truman.

 

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire

 

Got it! Your turn .

 

"Jimi Hendrix"

Should be easy.

 

The following old ones are still unsolved:

Amy Clark
Al Pacino
Molly McDonald
Dull Debbie
Doc Ellis
Oliver Stone
Sonny Bono

 

Referred to as Jimi in 'The Return of Jimi Hendrix' by the Waterboys and again by first name only in 'We're Turning Again' by Frank Zappa, but any lyrics where he's named in full escapes me.

 

Since we are not playing for points I think we should be allowed to give clues:

A goodly number of other rock musicians are name-checked in this song along with Jimi.

 

Monterey- The Animals

 

I'm going to put three names, from one song, to hopefully make it an easier thing

Etta James
John Lee Hooker
Marilyn Monroe

And no it isn't we didn't start the fire.
It is a pretty recent song.

 

Murder Most Foul by Bob Dylan

 

Spot on, you're up

 

Ok, this one should be fairly easy:

Lucius Clay

 

"The Legend of Wooley Swamp" - Charlie Daniels Band

or "Alligator" - Charlie Daniels Band


Next up - "Jackson Browne"

 

Tonio K - "H-a-t-r-e-d"
