Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan. Literally impossible because pretzels don't have brains or think. Listen to the song on YouTube here:

Initial line & color logic solves 65% with only black remaining.

R2: Whether C17 or C19 is black, R3C19 is black. Minimal LL.
R14: Whether C17 or C19 is black, R13C19 is black.

LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.

Nice song, no mention of the pretzels though ...

Symmetry pretty much gives it away.

Very clever title, kitty!

A great song and a great band, too!

I was guessing Pretzel Diode, but I haven't heard of a song by that name.
