Some idle thoughts

1. How many songs are there that prominently mention a particular musical instrument, but do not actually use that instrument in the song? Two that come to mind are:

"Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" - has a verse devoted to the didgeridoo, but actually uses a "wobble board" for the odd sound effect.

"Mr. Tambourine Man" - doesn't seem to include a tambourine, at least not when Bob Dylan sang it.

Any others that spring to mind?

And,

2. How many movies that feature a rope bridge, don't end up with the bridge ropes breaking or getting cut before the end? The only one I can think of is the one in "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail", which just has people hurled off of it.
