Left foot on accelerator?

The discussion has been archived, but it's clear from the video[1] that what she's saying is "...got a LEAD foot down on my accelerator..." which is a fairly common expression meaning driving fast. And in the video, she obviously has her right foot on the gas pedal, of course. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 08:53, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Well someone else already said lead foot was what was said. Nil Einne (talk) 09:59, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, they said it, which is why I went looking for the video. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:37, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Serial killer movie?

There is one movie where a Newlywed Couple Checks into Hotel Room.

The room service man opens Champagne but he kills (Husband & Wife).

Killer begins atacking Other Inocent Couples.

Killer is revealed to B a Woman in disguise As a Guy.

Wat Movie is that?(107.72.178.122 (talk) 17:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)).

Could it be the "Room Service" episode of American Horror Story? --Canley (talk) 09:42, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Jennings song

Anybody know a Waylon Jennings' song that has the line "Golden Ribbons in her hair"? GoodDay (talk) 21:44, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Are you sure you don't mean "Scarlet Ribbons For Her Hair"? But I don't think Jennings ever recorded that. --Khajidha (talk) 22:07, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

It's a Waylon Jennings song, but that line is in the song. Not sure if it's the title. GoodDay (talk) 22:16, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Can you remember anything else about it? --Khajidha (talk) 22:25, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

No :( GoodDay (talk) 22:58, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Searching for "Waylon Jennings" and "gold" brings up "Gold Dust Woman" and "Rings of Gold". The search "Waylon Jennings" and "ribbon" brings up "Silver Ribbons" and "Help Me Make It Through The Night" (with the lyric "take the ribbon from your hair"). None of these seem to be what you are looking for. --Khajidha (talk) 23:03, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Checked them over on youtube. None of the above :( GoodDay (talk) 23:18, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

I can't find any such song (name or lyric) by Jennings or anybody else. --Khajidha (talk) 18:24, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

I googled "Golden Ribbons in her hair" +lyrics but nothing much popped up. Maybe this? I think there is a chance the lyrics may've been misheard or misremembered, if not then you should find it when googling "Golden Ribbons in her hair". Poveglia (talk) 18:59, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

There must be a different title to the song, but it's done by Jennings. GoodDay (talk) 23:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

For most songs I can search for them with any reasonably distinct sequence of words from the lyrics. "Golden ribbons in her hair" is distinct enough but doesn't seem to have any connection to Jennings. --Khajidha (talk) 16:04, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

I found a Christmas song called "Just put a ribbon in your hair", but it doesn't seem to have been recorded by Jennings either. Alan Jackson, yes; Doug Stone, yes; but not Waylon. --Khajidha (talk) 16:07, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

"Tulsa Telephone Book" by Tom T. Hall (on In Search of a Song, 1971) ends with the verse "If you meet a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair / Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone". The voices of Waylon Jennings and Tom T. Hall are completely different though, so it's unlikely you would have confused the two. Dave Dudley covered "Tulsa Telephone Book", but he didn't really sound like Waylon Jennings either (though maybe a bit closer than Tom T. Hall does). Throwing it in anyway, just in case. Both versions can be heard on YouTube. ---Sluzzelin talk 18:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

• Loggins and Messina had an anti-war song titled "Golden Ribbons", but there's nothing in there about hair, and no one has ever confused Waylon Jennings for Loggins and Messina. --Jayron32 11:58, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
• The Four Seasons had one of those "dead lover" songs named "Golden Ribbon", but again no hair, and if there's anyone who sounds less like Waylon Jennings than Frankie Valli, I don't know who that might be. --Jayron32 12:00, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

User:GoodDay, where did you come across this song? Was it on an album? Was it a televised performance? A concert you attended? And, I ask again, are you SURE it was Jennings? Is there ANYTHING else you can tell us? --Khajidha (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

My papa heard it on a music channel, but didn't check to see the song title, but was certain of the singer. Music channel had 'only' audio. GoodDay (talk) 22:45, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
