This
month we offer a set of trivia questions
based on TV theme songs. I am going to
supply the second line of each theme.
You
need to guess "what show" and the "first
line" to the lyrics.
1.
Here's the
story of a lovely lady
Who was
bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold, like their
mother,
The youngest one in curls.
--The Brady Bunch
2.
Born on a
mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest
state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so's he knew every
tree,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.
Davy, Davy
Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.
--Disney's
Davy Crockett
3.
Green
acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land
spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep
Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
--Green
Acres
4.
Here he
comes, here he comes
There's the trumpets, there's the drums,
here he comes.
Hopalong
Cassidy, here he comes.
--Hopalong
Cassidy
5.
Who is the
tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick
is the name.
Ridin' the trail to who knows where,
Luck is his companion,
Gamblin' is his game.
Smooth as
the handle on a gun.
Maverick
is the name.
Wild as
the wind in Oregon,
Blowin' up
a canyon,
Easier to
tame.
--Maverick
6.
Beyond the
rim of the starlight,
my love is
wandering in star flight.
I know he'll find
In star clustered reaches
Love, strange love
A starwoman teaches.
--Star
Trek
*This was a trick question.
The musical score for Star Trek was
composed by Alexander Courage. The above
lyrics were written to match the music
score but never used on TV.
7.
Dobie,
wants a little cutie,
Dobie,
wants a little beauty,
Dobie want
a gal to call his own
Any size, any style,
any eyes, any smile, any Jean, any Jane,
nay Joan.
-The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis
Note: I
couldn't give you the second line without
giving the answer away, thus the fourth
line.
8.
Want you
to meet the family that's known as
The Real McCoys.
From West Virginee they came to stay in
sunny Californi-ay.
That's
Grand Pappy Amos and the girls and the
boys of the family known as the Real
McCoys.
--The
Real McCoys
9.
There's a
hold up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's
broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a
scout troop short a child,
Kruschev's
due at Idlewild
Car 54,
Where Are You
--Car 54,
Where Are You?
10.
Early to
rise, early to bed.
In and between I cooked and cleaned and
went
out of my head.
Going
through life with blinders on, it's tough
to see.
I had to
get up, get out from under and look for
me.
There's a
new girl in town and she's looking good.
There's a
fresh freckled face, in the neighborhood.
There's a
new girl in town, with a brand new style.
