Rock N Roll Philosophy
A puzzle by David Pleacher



Can you figure out these words of wisdom, these common sense principles by which our Rock 'n Roll fathers would have us live our lives?   Each song title gives some advice.

The key words of the song title have been replaced by their initial letters.   In parentheses is the name of a recording artist which made the song a hit; but again, the key names have been replaced by the first letter.

If you're having difficulty, perhaps you would do better W. a L. H. from my F. (by J. C. / also by The B. ); that is, With a Little Help from my Friends (by Joe Cocker/The Beatles).

  1. W. a M. in my S. (by J. S. )
  2. T. out of T. ain't B. (by M. )
  3. Take a C. on M. (by A. )
  4. P. a L. L. in your H. (by J. D. S. )
  5. The T. they are a C. ( by B. D. / also by P. P. & M. )
  6. Take it E. (by The E. )
  7. What a W. W. (by L. A. )
  8. S. is G. (by F. V. and the F. S. )
  9. D., D., D., (by The S. M. B. )
  10. Give P. a C. (by J. L. )
  11. It doesn't M. any M. (by B. H. )
  12. Don't be C. (by E. )
  13. It's a H. L. (by Q. )
  14. Don't F. in L. with a D. (by K. C. and K. R. )
  15. Don't let the S. C. Y. C. (by G. and the P. )
  16. Haven't got T. for the P. (by C. S. )
  17. L. and let D. (by W. )
  18. B. G. don't C. (by F. V. and the F. S. )
  19. If you want to S. O. , S. O. (by C. S. )
  20. You can't H. L. (by The S. / also by P. C.
  21. G. B. the USA (by L. G. )
  22. L. will K. us T. (by The C. and T. )
  23. Come T. (by A. )
  24. With a L. L. (by P. M. )
  25. All I Have to D. is D. (by The E. B. )
  26. T. your C. (by C. , S. , and N. )
  27. Don't take your G. to T. (by J. C.)
  28. Take the M. and R. (by The S. M. B. )
  29. Keep the C. S. (by S. and G. )
