Let's see how many unsolved mysteries we can find in music. To start: "Ode to Billie Joe" (Bobby Gentry) tells the tale of a boy who apparently commits suicide, but townsfolk don't know why: "Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."
What songs do you know that contain unsolved mysteries?
Catch the Rainbow - Rainbow
The line in Ode to Billie Joe, as you started with, Darcie:
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
I remember debating with friends over what that might have been.
Stay well and enjoy!
