Answer: Banana Splits

This song was theme song for "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour" by Sid & Marty Krofft which originally aired on Saturday mornings on NBC from 1968-1970.

2. The Dickies' first album, "Incredible Shrinking Dickies" (1979) contains a sped up cover version of a Black Sabbath hit. Which song was it?

Answer: Paranoid

"Paranoid" was included in the pre-studio concert performances and ultimately appeared on the first Dickies' album, "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies" (1978). The original Black Sabbath version of "Paranoid" is timed at 2m53s, while The Dickies' version is 49 seconds shorter at 2m04s.

3. In 1983, The Dickies released an original song on an album of the same name, which mentions a certain warplane flying over a certain amusement park. What was the name of this song and album?

Answer: Stukas Over Disneyland

The album cover shows a Stuka dive bomber dropping its payload over the ears of a mouse; presumably Mickey Mouse.

The Junkers JU-87 Stuka (STUrzKAmpfflugzeug), built from 1935-1944, was an important player in the German Luftwaffe campaign of "Blitzkrieg" during WWII. It was distinct for its revolutionary gull-wing design.

Answer: Manny, Moe, and Jack

The cover of the album shows The Dickies being attacked by a horde of blue skinned Zombies. This is a blatant tribute to George A. Romero's 1979 horror movie, "Dawn of the Dead".

The Dickies LOVE doing tributes, homages, nods, and acknowledgments.

5. Finish the line from the lyrics of this song by The Dickies. It is also the subtitle of the same song: "You Drive Me Ape, You Big ____"

This song was included on The Dickies' 1979 album, "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies". In concert, vocalist Leonard Graves Phillips would often start this song with an ape mask on his face.

6. Which one of these animated show theme songs did The Dickies cover?

Answer: Gigantor

This song is only available as a single (1980) and on the "Dawn of The Dickies" CD Version on Captain Oi! Records.

"Gigantor" is the American title of the popular Japanese Manga series, "Tetsujin 28-go", orginally created in 1956. It wasn't released in the USA until 1964.

The "Spiderman" theme song was covered by The Ramones.

7. The Dickies provided the theme song for a zany science fiction/comedy movie of 1988. What is the title?

Answer: Bedrock Barney

Of course, this title refers to Fred Flintstone's best friend and bowling buddy, Barney Rubble. The song was written by The Dickies' vocalist Leonard Graves Phillips and guitarist, Stan Lee. Unlike most of The Dickies' cartoon theme song covers, this song has no direct connection with "The Flintstones" TV show.
