Hello, I have problems finding the right metaphor for the third line of the song.
Damn, I just had to find it out now of all times!
Never mind!
Okay, another question: How do I get that last point?
If it's important - refer to Len Green's walkthrough which lists all the points after each action.

I don't think that thre's any other way of knowing but to search through that and see where you dropped 1 point!
Hints for the song:
1st line:
Spoiler
Look at everything in the hotel lobby.
2nd line:
Spoiler
Look at everything at the desert crossroads.
3rd line:
Spoiler
Look at everything where you park the car.
4th line:
Spoiler
Look at everything by the Salton Sea.
I can gave you the answer outright if you want.

No, that won't help since this is the walkthrough for the original bj2, not the deluxe version, the puzzles are different here...
Waiting for Leon ;)...
Pffff..... working on it!!!! Later tonight...
Sorry - I didn't know that there WAS a deluxe :version, let alone that its scoring was any different from the origina.l o ::)

Well, I don’t seem to be the only one having problems with the last point, so I guess it must be something hidden.

Hints for the song:
Thank you, I already figured that out on my own.
IIRC it is not hidden but just one of thocse non-essential actions tjhat give you an extra point.
But if the scoring for ther deLuxe is really different from the original game - that won't help.
OK, I'm stuck right at the beginning! :P
Spoiler
I've spoken to everyone in the supermarket and the pub. I've talked to the shaman guy. I have all the objects from the shaman shop and the supermarket. I've got rid of the guy waiting in the coffee shop but not the woman. I've also gone to the creepy house and read the book on the shelf. I've gone up to the cave exterior but can't do anything there. Can't do anything anywhere now, in fact. I'm a bit lost...
There are a few things...
To get into the creepy house you need something to open the door:
The medicine man gives you the key.
Spoiler
Use the book in your inventory to get the laminated bookmark.
Once inside, you'll find another obstacle:
Spoiler
You need to crack the safe.
Therefore you need help from the medicine man again.
He can give you:
Spoiler
The stethoscope around the neck of the skeleton.
Once you've gone through this, you'll have found new objects which can help you further.
Ah, it was the
Spoiler
'scope
I needed to use! Duh! I'd already got into the house, y'see.
Spoiler
OK, back again. I've got the Molotov Cocktail on the cell door. It won't let me light it but there is no way I can warn George...
You need to get George to move first:
Spoiler
Give him the coffee.
Leon beat me to it :(
All right, I'm near the Salton Sea... where do I find
Spoiler
the second "nice thing" for the date? Already gave the chocolade.
EDIT: NEVERMIND.
I'm having trouble getting that last point!
Spoiler
I came back with the silver bowl intact but the prospector asks for his keys back! There must be another way to get Aqua lad out of the tub other than handing over the keys
yeah, i cant get that last point either
Maybe try that walkthru - or did they completly alter the game in the deLuxe version.

Not completely different but the main puzzles are different enough that the walkthrough won't cover this.
Spoiler
To be honest, the one part of the game that got me stumped was getting the boy out of the tub. It didn't dawn on me to hand him over the prospector's car keys until I got desperate! Since I've lost one point, I'm sure there's a better way to do it.
Oh, i figured it out
Spoiler
The car keys are the right way. To get that last point you have to give the silver bowl back to annie before giving the Moonshine to the prospector
;D :D
The 'standard' version (http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/ben-jordan-case-2-the-lost-galleon-of-the-salton-sea-walkthrough-francisco-gonzalez2004/) (max 205 points) is completely different from the 'deluxe' version (http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/ben-jordan-deluxe-case-2-the-lost-galleon-of-the-salton-sea-%e2%80%93-walkthrough-francisco-gonzalez2010/) (max 82 points). The story is similar but the puzzles and objects used are different.
The missing point in the deluxe version is probably...
Spoiler
Returning the silver bowl to Annie..
Nothing to worry about...
How can I get the golden thropy of the shelf where the naked guy is in bathtube. ???
You need to get him away from the trophy.
He's afraid to get out because of his mother so get her out of the way first. Talk to her and he'll tell you what she wants.
Spoiler
Walk further to the left outside the camp to visit the beach. There's someone who can help you with this.
But I have already done that and she is gone with the guy and the man is still in the bathtube and he still don't want me to touch his thropies.
You have to
Spoiler
Give him some way of getting out of town, like he mentioned he had none before
If that tip isnt enough
Spoiler
give him the car keys
Thank you. I have now finish the game. ;D
I've got the the point where I've found George Roberts, but I can't seem to find a way of getting him out of that cell... only have the silver bowl, George's notes and a bit of sail, nothing seems to do anything - is there an item on deck somewhere I've missed? ???
There should be more in your inventory.....
Spoiler
How 'bout a drink?
Give the coffee to George and use the other to blow up the door.
Hmm...
Spoiler
Already gave the coffee to George... haven't got anything that could blow up the door, is it found on the galleon itself? If not I'll have to go back to a previous saved game, as I have no way of getting off the galleon now...
Ah... I think I know what needs to be done.
Spoiler
Take some of the sail from the upper deck. Use that with the bottle...
Gah no it was me being stupid - didn't realise half of my inventory wasn't showing - thought it had all gone but it only needed a quick clikc of the up arrow! ::)
Completed now, good game.
You can also get an extra point by
Spoiler
throwing the bowl into the Salton Sea, I think.
Did I need to pick up
Spoiler
a chocolate bar at the grocery store to give to the guy on the swing before talking to the prospector? Because the game wouldn't let me before, and now I have given the guy on the swing the roses but have nothing else to give him.
No, you have the thing you need with you if you reached that part
Spoiler
it isnt a chocolate BAR
