    "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" was on the radio just now. I've heard it a zillion times but for whatever reason this time my ears opened up and Billy Joel mentioned Beau Brummel and damn, that's a really obscure reference.

        That's happened to all of us, I'm sure. You listen to a song dozens or even hundreds of times and then all of a sudden you hear it. I wonder if that's how Led Zeppelin and/or Tolkien fans felt the first time they heard Robert Plant singing about Gollum.

        2019 is my year for discovering obscure references in songs I've heard hundreds of times, apparently.https://twitter.com/varadmehta/status/1089223274146484224 …

        I've listened to it dozens of times, but it only hit me yesterday that the opening line of They Might Be Giants' "Everything Right Is Wrong Again" refers to the 1954 Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz movie "The Long, Long Trailer." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaPqBUznMiE …

        I don't feel as though anything in that song is obscure, but then I might not be the best test subject on that score.

        Joel had a lot of obscure references.

        thing is, that didn't feel obscure to me back when i first heard that song as a kid. but i'm a trivia nerd so i have very poor ideas of what is and isn't obscure

        Right. But you pay closer attention. I've been listening to that song probably since it came out and tonight was literally the first time I noticed Billy Joel sings about Beau Brummel in it.
