I Need An Answer…NOW!

Everyday I ask questions and receive answers and everyday I find more and more information to help me answer some of life’s little questions. Still, I find that some of the more niggling questions still remain unanswered. To help combat my insanity, I’ve set out to find the answers to my top four unanswered questions. I should probably correct this to, the top questions that I can’t find answers to – not even on the Internet where everything can be found.

1. What wouldn’t Meatloaf do for love? This has got to be one of the most discussed “unanswered” questions since the song was first released. The lyrics never come right out and say what he won’t do and that has driven the world (okay, me) crazy. Theories have ranged from committing murder to proposing to the hussy in the film clip. (Useless fact: The woman in the film clip isn’t the singer. Mrs Loud, the singer, is actually Lorraine Crosby, a singer from England. She also appeared as a contestant on the UK’s version of the X-Factor.) So, any idea what he wouldn’t do?

2. What was Sandy and Danny’s “true love vow”? In the very last verse of Summer Nights, there is a line “then we made our true love vow”. I have always wondered exact what a true love vow was. Is it a corny “oh Danny, I’ll always love you.” “Me too” or is it something else *wink wink nudge nudge*. Everything points to it being the first (“she’s too pure to be pink”), but I have a twisted mind, so part of me thinks it’s the second.

3. Who is so vain? It’s been narrowed down to four men in Carly Simon’s life – James Taylor (her husband), Warren Beatty, Kris Kristofferson or Mick Jagger. I believe the last opinion also added Cat Stevens to the list, but that was dropped when she revealed that the subject has an E, A and R in his name, as was Kris K.

4. What happened to Fatso? This has haunted me since I was ten. In the final episode of A Country Practise, Vicky brings Fatso to the vet’s clinic after running over him and has to operate on him. That much I can confirm. He also never appeared after the series moved to Channel 10. But on no website can I find if he died on the operating table. Why can’t I find out if Fatso died? That’s all I want to know, I don’t care about whether Terrence ever found true love or if Tom ever got over Shirley’s death, just tell me if the damn wombat died!

So, there you have it – my unanswered questions. Please help me maintain some grip on reality by telling me the answers. To me, these questions replace the normal “what’s the meaning of life?”. If I could have three wishes, I would want these questions answered (well, the first three anyway – I can always watch the reruns to find out the fate of Fatso).
