I mean definitely an E ticket
In the lyrics of "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" by Julie Brown there is the term "an E ticket" that I do not understand. Maybe it is USA high school slang?
She looked so pretty in pink chiffon. (Chiffon)
Riding the float with her tiara on. (Tiara on)
Holding this humongous bouquet in her hand. (Bouquet) She looked straight out of Disneyland!
You know that Cinderella ride
I mean definitely an E-ticket. (E-ticket)
The crowd was cheering, everyone was stoked
I mean it was like the whole school was totally coked or something.

[nq:1]In the lyrics of "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" by Julie Brown there is the term "an E ticket" ... a Disneyland reference. There was a time when admission booklets included A,B,C,D,E tickets. E tickets were for the best rides.[/nq]

Rosebud was the name of the sled he had as a child. It burned in a house fire, IIRC. He was remembering the glory of his youth - back when he was happy. As an adult, he was a real unhappy ***. Again, IIRC, he muttered the word "rosebud" as he lay dying, and then at the end of the movie, after you've spent some time wondering what the **** he was on about, the movie shows the sled with the word "Ro

Generally regarded as an Americanism in Br; but in fact it's the usual word for a big trailer with runners instead of wheels drawn by a tractor. (I've never seen one in real life, only in a catalogue. They're presumably used mainly in drier parts of the country.) I fancy "sledge" is a newer term.

"Casablanca" is a cinematic classic but "As Time Goes By" wasn't even written for it. I don't know that any original music was written for it. At the time, it was just one of something like a dozen scripts in production. "Citizen Kane", on the other hand, goes well beyond the ordinary, is considered groundbreaking, perhaps the greatest movie of all time. And it's not all beca

Good explanation. I understand now and agree with you in the anti-climatic meaning of the term in the song.
[nq:1]I haven't seen the movie in years; its very old and was filmed in B+W. I probably won't watch it again. It is considered a classic among classics, like 12 Angry Men and Casablanca.[/nq]
I have watched both several times, and I like more 12 Angry Men, but Citizen Kane I only wat
