"I shot the sheriff.
Girl, I did not shoot the deputy."

descends from

"Yo no soy marinero.
Yo no soy marinero--
Soy capitan, soy capitan" etc.

Right? What else?

There is no design for life
There's no devil's haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb
Or step around ...

This one explains itself.

I don't get it...
The La Bamba lyrics translate to: "I am not a sailor / I am the captain"...
how is that descended from the Marley song?

The Marley song descends from the Valens song. I'm not a sailor, baby, I'm the captain; I didn't shoot the deputy, mama--I shot the sheriff. I'm not saying that it *really* descends, but play along.

Everybody going round say they know who shot the barber

My dream tonight will be a fuckign crazy nightmare.

It's gonna drive me crazy now, who is that second quote. Is it Travis?

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 26 February 2004 23:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 26 February 2004 23:25 (twenty-two years ago)

xpost yeah, it's "Slide Show" by Travis. It's wasn't the type of ancestral connection he wanted though ...

I'm not sure if I hate myself more for remembering it, or not recognising it the first time round.
