Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was it that made her "afraid to come out of the water"?

Answer: An Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Although the song seems to suggest a 'naughty' young woman, the writer claims that the song was inspired by his two year old daughter. This song was in the movie "One, Two, Three" and was played repeatedly to torture spies.

2. What did the witchdoctor say?

Answer: Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang

Originally released by David Seville in 1958, in this Sha-Na-Na song about a struggling romantic, a witch doctor is consulted about what to do.
"And then the witch doctor, he gave me his advice
He said that:
Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang".

3. What did Dooley always wear?

Answer: Tan shoes with pink shoelaces, a polka dot vest, and a big Panama with a purple hat band

A girl wore the bikini, a desperado from the wild and wooley West wore the sombrero, and Marty Robbins wore the sports coat and carnation the night he was stood up for the prom.

But Dooley?
"He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band".

4. What was the dead skunk doing in the middle of the road?

Answer: Stinkin' to high Heaven

"Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!"

Eating Goober peas was an old civil war song. Jethro Tull was sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls, and Jim Morrison's killer on the road had a brain that squirmed like a toad.

5. Who was Napoleon XIV (The Fourteenth) going to be happy to see?

Answer: Those nice young men in their clean white coats.

In "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa" a controversial song that many radio stations refused to play on the grounds that it was insensitive to the mentally insane, a jilted lover explains what happened to him after his true love left him. Or was it his dog?
(See, political correctness mattered even back then)

6. After the bird of paradise flies up your nose, what else can you expect, if you know this Little Jimmy Dickens' hit song?

Answer: An elephant will caress you with his toes

"Sweet Gypsy Rose" is a completely different song, you tie your ears in a knot or a bow if they hang too low, and I made the warlock and the crows up because I couldn't think of anything else that rhymed.

7. How did the One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater play music?

Answer: Through the horn on his head

This was one weird song. I still don't know where the line about the short shorts came from, but I guess nobody else did either so it's OK.

8. If Roger Miller had your happiness, what could you expect to get in return?

Answer: Do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do

I think ever since he went "chug-a-lug chug-a-lug", Roger Miller always put just a bit of something strange in his songs. I used to sing them over and over, much to the annoyance of those around me.

Answer: Don't ever stop and open it up.

"That's my advice to you, 'cause you'll never get rid of the (Thump-tha-Thump) no matter what you do".

10. What did Johnny Rebec do with the neighbors' dogs and pussycats?

Answer: Ground them into sausages.

My Dad used to sing this one to us when we were little. My Mom didn't like it much.
