Jailhouse Rock
actually opens with 'The warden threw a party in the county jail'.

This is not commonly known.

I think it's common amongst people that actually know the song.

I did know this (My band used to open with it, in fact)
But it's the only well-known song I could think of with 'county jail' in the first line that I could think of. And no doubt Roota is about to tell me it's some blindingly obvious song I've completely forgotten about.

It has some of the gayest lyrics of any song EVER.

Which makes the line
"If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair," frankly quite unnerving...
