OK, Jenny, now tie the question to the title (Oh, Clair!) I gave it.

Only connection I can find is that Clare Quilty is a character in Lolita.

Nope, although that was a good try. Think Titles.

Could it be "Remembrance of Things Past"?

Nope. Think of a Title "Oh, Clair" that ties in somehow with Lolita.

Clair
by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Clair
The moment I met you, I swear.
I felt as if something, somewhere,
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see.
And then, the moment I met you, again.
I knew in my heart that we were friends.
It had to be so, it couldn't be no.

But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why.
You get to me in a way I can't describe.
Words mean so little when you look up and smile.
I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child.

Oh Clair. Clair ...

Clair
If ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare.
That moment is you in all that you do.
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry.
Each time I leave you I feel I could die.
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say,
"I'm going to marry you. Will you marry me? Uncle Ray!"

Oh Clair Clair ...

Clair
I've told you before "Don't you dare!"
"Get back into bed."
"Can't you see that it's late."
"No you can't have a drink."
"Oh allright then, but wait just a minute."

While I, in an effort to babysit, catch up on my breath,
What there is left of it.
You can be murder at this hour of the day.
But in the morning the sun will see my lifetime away.
Oh Clair Clair ...
Oh Clair



The tie-in, I assume, is pedophilia.

Excellent, Miles. One does like to have a little fun with titles now and then. I have read that "Clair" was his manager's daughter. And to think that they booed Jerry Lee off the stage.
