Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

The sitcom 'The Beverly Hillbillies' ran from 1962 - 1971 on CBS. It featured an ensemble cast including Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr. The theme song, 'The Ballad of Jed Clampett,' was written by Paul Henning, and performed by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, with Jerry Scoggins singing the lead vocals.

It is a classic 'explain the premise' song, with an acoustic guitar and a banjo which introduced the bluegrass genre to a wide audience. The song features a positive, upbeat tempo along with its happy 'rags to riches' theme.
