He's no Richard Thompson but better than most songs I'll hear today.
John Carpenter - Escape from New York OST
I consider Carpenter to be an even greater film score composer than movie director.

That's high praise considering "The Thing" (1982) is one of the best horror movies ever made.

What did Billie Joe and Bobbi Lee throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge?
I don't remember a Bobbi Lee and I don't recall the narrator being named, but anyway, that's part of the mystery: What did Billie Joe and the narrator throw off the bridge? And what prompted Billie Joe to commit suicide? Were Billie Joe and the narrator lovers? And what was thrown off the bridge?
It's been a unanswered mystery since the song was written in 1967. It's a Southern Gothic story. The narrator's family is coming into the house for supper and the mother says be sure to wipe your feet and oh, by the way, "Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge," and at the dinner table, the narrator's father says, "Well, Billie Joe never had a lick o' sense; pass the biscuits, please." The mother then responds that earlier that morning Brother Taylor, the local preacher, claimed he had seen Billie Joe and the narrator "throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge."
One scenario is that Billie Joe proposed marriage to her, she decline, Billie Joe through the ring off the bridge, and then later jumped himself and committed suicide.
Another scenario has the narrator pregnant and the thing thrown off the bridge is an aborted fetus.
Imagine sitting around your dinner table with your mom, dad, and brother, and this conversation taking place under either of these scenarios.
That would be one strange family dinner. In the movie, I think they threw the narrator's doll Bnejamin over the bridge. The reason Billie Joe jumped is open to interpretation as far as I know.

They took so many liberties it was no longer recognizable. Know who directed it? Jethro from Beverley Hillbillies.
Oh, and there have been many parodies, etc. like "Ode to Billy Joel."
It was the 3rd of June another sooty smoggy Brooklyn day

I hollered down to my mama, can you tell me what's for dinner please?
She said we might go to the Peking Palace, get some take-out Chinese
And then she said I heard some news this morning when I was in Bay Ridge
They say that Billy Joel jumped off the Verrazano-Narrows
bridge...

And No More Shall We Part - Nick Cave & the Bad SeedsThe contrast of dark Nick and ridiculously warm and sunny summer Greece always has a mesmerizing effect on me.

Soooo jealous!
Oh, you ought to try it sometime Janie
Ray LaMontagne - Let It Be Me Suddenly smitten with this guy. Awesome talent. Sounds a little like Van Morrison with some Black Keys thrown in and a touch of Damien Rice, and maybe a touch of Billy Corgan (but not too much).
Ray LaMontagne - Part Two - In My Own WaySaid to be an homage to Waters and Gilmour. Does remind me a little of "Fearless" and "Us and Them." But that makes it even better IMHO.
Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
