      I remember when she first released it. We spent so much time examining the lyrics.

    This goes good with CJ's comic relief today. Ear worm indeed.

    I loved this song when it came out! Used to know every word. I do love a good story and this one had everyone guessing. I never knew that she wrote it, though. Cool! Yup--took me back. We all wondered and speculated. I don't think she ever revealed anything else about the lyrics.

      I still remember every word, and yes we all discussed all the possibilities. What did they throw off that bridge?!

      I rarely think about the song except around the 3rd of June.

    I listened to this ... I like stories written into songs.

      This one was huge back in the day. People still ask her what they threw over the bridge. She's never said.
