Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

Hm. I do not recognize the song at all!

For solving it, I placed the 8 in column 15 at the bottom of the column and did a lot of solving until I got a contradiction. Then I reverted to before I'd placed the 8. I put a dot in the bottom of the column, then tried the 8 in the remaining lowest possible position. And repeat, until enough dots were built up that I could do line logic to finish.

There is surely a better way to logic it through, but that's what I did.

Aha! Google says it's a mis-hearing of an Elton John song:

It says the real lyric is "Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers." :)

I thought I knew most Elton John music, but I don't know this song at all!

How many postings in a row can I monopolize? Here's the song:
