Indy's inspiration

The following was written some time ago for a sort of contest of Lord Peter Wimsey fanfiction. However, those archives are not open to the general public. For the convenience of someone who's now collecting publicly-available Lord Peter fanfic, I'm posting it here. (Before people ask, if she puts up an archive page, I'll post the link to it here as well.)

As should be apparent, the following story takes place some decades after the events of Dorothy L. Sayers' story Talboys.

music quiz

Bozoette's music quiz inspired me to make one of my own - and I had so much fun that I made two more sets. For the first one I tried not to do anything too obscure (that was a little tricky to evaluate, since I suspect that to my flist, Britney Spears' lyrics are much more obscure than Dar Williams'). That got a little boring, so the next ten are harder. The third list is really obscure (I think): either little-known artist, or lesser-known song, or lyrics buried deep within the song.

The questions come from the lyrics of a variety of songs; the same lyrics also contain the answer. Leave your answers in the comments; I'll mark the ones that have been guessed.
