Songs About Clues

Think you know what these songs are all about? You don't have a "Clue"! Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers  ~  "Into The Great Wide Open"  (Obviously, the word "Clue" doesn't appear in the title here, but anyone familiar with this classic will recall that the phrase "a rebel without a clue" is repeated often throughout the lyrics.)




2)  Boz Scaggs  ~  "A Clue"




3)  Frente!  ~  "Clue"




4)  Bonnie Tyler  ~  "Rebel Without A Clue"




5)  Halestorm  ~  "No Clue"




6)  Melanie  ~  "I Never Had A Clue"




7)  Paul Weller  ~  "Clues"




8)  The Flaming Lips  ~  "Haven't Got A Clue"




9)  Robert Palmer  ~  "Looking For Clues"




10)  Molly Tuttle  ~  "Clue"




11)  Dramarama  ~  "Haven't Got A Clue"




12)  Röyksopp  ~  "You Don't Have A Clue"




13)  Emily Yacina  ~  "Clue"




14)  Sweet Wednesday  ~  "Lost Without A Clue"




15)  Matthew Perryman Jones  ~  "Without A Clue"




16)  The Bellamy Brothers  ~  "Rebels Without A Clue"




17)  The Dø  ~  "No Clue"




18)  Deep Sea Peach Tree  ~  "Clue"




19)  Gordon Lightfoot  ~  "Too Many Clues In This Room"




20)  Altar Boys  ~  "Have A Clue"  (What is this bargain-basement popcrap? A Christian knockoff of The Beach Boys? I'm really confused and dismayed at the results.)




21)  The 1978ers  ~  "Without A Clue"




22)  Godley & Creme  ~  "Clues"  (I don't really get the point of the album artwork here, but whatever.)




23)  Mannequin Pussy  ~  "Clue Juice"  (Weird band name. But they've got a great punk-rock sound!)




24)  Katie Melua  ~  "Looking For Clues"  (Yes, I know this is the same song as #9 above. But I LOVE Katie Melua, and her version is distinctive enough from the original to merit inclusion here. I'm sure you don't care either way.)




25)  Billy Joe Royal  ~  "Searchin' For Some Kind Of Clue"
