History NoodleIncident / Music

* The origin of Music/Maroon5's name, which according to most reports is "a secret known only to the 5 of them and Music/BillyJoel" (though Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} hints it to be a girl the band members had a "[[ReverseHarem collective crush]]" on).

* PeterPaulAndMary's ''I Dig Rock and Roll Music'' has these lines:

-->"So, I grabbed the bear by the throat, looked him right in the eyes, and I said 'Bear, you have 'till the count of zero to put some pants on and to apologize to the President.' And, um...that's the story of how I was elected to the Parliment of Uzbekistan.

* "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" by Music/TomWaits has several Noodle Incidents, beginning perhaps with just how the hooker in question knows Charley (the guy she's writing the card to), but most especially this bit:
-->Hey Charley I almost went crazy
-->After Mario got busted
** We never learn who Mario is or his relation to either of them, or what he got busted for.

* Music/TheRunaways, a 70's and 80's rock band whose members included Lita Ford, Joan Jett, and Micki Steele of The Bangles, were kicked out of Disneyland in 1977. According to a Disney rep, one of their offenses was "doing weird things with french fries"

* When performing the song "My Home Town," Music/TomLehrer always omits a line by saying something to the effect of "we're recording tonight, so I'll have to leave this line out." (The published sheet music just calls for whistling, and in the studio version he says "Shall I? No, maybe better not.") He has subsequently admitted that he never came up with a satisfactory rhyme, and found the implication that he intended to say something so unspeakably racy it had to be censored much funnier.

* In the original 1968 album release of [[Music/TheWho The Who's]] RockOpera ''[[Music/Tommy Tommy]]'' the incident that traumatized Tommy into not hearing, seeing or speaking is never explained and left purposely ambiguous. Of course, in TheMovie and TheMusical versions, the event is elaborated on as Mrs. Walker's lover killing Tommy's father (or vice versa, respectively).

* In PaulSimon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," "what the mama saw / it was against the law," but what she saw is never specified. [[http://bit.ly/am2h9B Asked in an interview]], Simon replied, "I have no idea what it is. [...] Something sexual is what I imagine, but when I say 'something,' I never bothered to figure out what it was. Didn't make any difference to me."

* The song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5gKH-V-LM "Such Horrible Things"]] by CreatureFeature explains the evil deeds committed by a person throughout his years. (Ex. "When I was two I poured super glue into my father's hair..." It skips ages by two until it reaches 18) The [[http://www.sweetslyrics.com/460305.Creature%20Feature%20-%20Such%20Horrible%20Things%20Lyrics.html lyrics]] refer to a noodle incident at age 14: "When I was fourteen--nothing much happened. Well, heh heh, ''there was that one time''..."

* "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry - we know Billie Joe and his girlfriend "were throwin' something off the Tallahatchee Bridge," but we never learn what it was (Gentry has said in interviews that she had nothing in particular in mind - that simply isn't the point of the song).* [[http://tvskyle.bandcamp.com/track/babaganoush-acoustic "Babaganoush"]] by TV's Kyle describes a man against whom several people commit various acts; the only explanation they give is the title.

-->I could really get on that scene\\
I think I could I could say somethin'\\
If you know what I mean\\
But if I really say it\\
The radio won't play it\\
Unless I lay it between the lines.

* The music video for hardcore band Norma Jean's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXp4hdd2pk If You Got It At Five, You Got It At Fifty]]" starts mid-conversation with guitarist Chris Day casually telling vocalist Cory Putman about how "apparently restraining orders are a really big deal", and Cory responding with deadpan boredom, "Whatever."
* The card game that Music/{{Aborted}} released as a preorder bonus for ''The Necrotic Manifesto'' made reference to Ken Bedene and his run-in with a tow truck. The only other thing that the card confirmed was that he made the mistake of parking the van in a tow zone; the rest of the incident isn't clearly stated, and when Sven encouraged Ken to elaborate in an interview, Ken steadfastly refused on the grounds that he didn't want to "look like a dumbass in a fuckin' interview".
* "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry - we know Billie Joe and his girlfriend "were throwin' something off the Tallahatchee Bridge," but we never learn what it was (Gentry has said in interviews that she had nothing in particular in mind - that simply isn't the point of the song).

* Bonnie Raitt, ''I Can't Make You Love Me.'' A somber melody emphasizes that this is the end of the relationship, and that it will end, "Morning will come and I'll do what's right / Just give me til then to give up this fight / And I will give up this fight." What the fight she has to give up or why she has to give it up, (other than they're just breaking up) remains unstated.

* While not a song in and of itself, Music/XJapan was, in their early days as X, involved in an ''actual'' NoodleIncident that split VisualKei from just being another part of Japanese Music/HeavyMetal. The band performed their song "Orgasm" at a noodle shop Yashiro, inviting along a TV crew to video them performing. Whether the noodleshop owners were complicit in the publicity stunt wasn't known, though the TV crew ''definitely'' was, and that led to the split at the time - the Japanese Heavy Metal community as it was at the time saw the VisualKei upstarts as being the AttentionWhore to use such promotion as staging a performance outside of a venue and dragging a TV crew along to film it, and as causing needless trouble for everyone. The split would later be mended to some degree (though some corners of Japanese Heavy Metal still look down on VisualKei artists as more interested in attention than music).
