No, the answer is “you made the scene.” “Oh baby, you’re the ginchiest” is the closing words of the song.

gatopescado, that’s one question that could easily separate several generations, as the answer changed in 1968. The modern version doesn’t have that pair at all. But those who learned it from Bart & Lisa know the original, apparently taught to them by Abe.
Go to Armour’s web site to listen to the modern version, sung by Roger Clemens or Derek Jeter or Ken Griffey, Jr. (the Spanish version sung by Sammy Sosa is not a direct translation).
Pre-1968, that line preceded the rock-climbers. After that, the chicken poxed; fat/skinny went to the second line and big/little is in the first.
So:
1950 version
fat,skinny,rocks
tough,sissy,pox
1968 version
big,little,rocks
fat,skinny,pox
It’s clear the changes were made out of concerns of insensitive language; the modern version gets rid of ‘fat’ & ‘skinny’, too. Except it replaces it with something a more offensive. At least ‘fat’ & ‘skinny’ are mutually exclusive. The modern version : “Smart kids, cool kids, …”
Now they might rationalize it be saying that these are just various not necessarily disparate groups of kids. But given the jingle’s history, it’s hard to get away from the idea that they’re setting up (or trying to perpetuate the stereotype of) a dichotomy of nerds and cool kids. On the other hand, at least the third group has some distinction - if you’re smart, you’ll avoid infection, and if you have the pox, you lose all coolness.
Remember, kids : It’s not cool to be smart! And eat your ConAgra Armour brand hot dogs!
I actually have a 45 of “Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb,” as sung by Edd “Kookie” Byrnes and Connie Stevens (Cricket from Hawaiian Eye). All the lyrics sites I’ve googled have numerous mistakes: from what I can decipher on my record, it goes,
Kookie: “I’ve got smog in my noggin, ever since you made the scene”
Connie: “You’re the utmost!”
Kookie: “If you ever tuned me out, Dad, I’m the saddest, like a [can’t make this out]”
Connie: “The very utmost.”
The B side, by the way, is a cringe-making hipster version of “You’re the Top,” with Kookie singing lyrics like, “You’re the top—you’re a Presley sideburn; You’re the top—you’re a jet that I burn . . .”

According to my copy of The Great 1960s Quiz Book, the person who first said “Don’t trust anyone over 30” was Jack Weinberg, leader of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley. (He was 24 at the time.)

And it was said half-jokingly. He was asked if there were older adults who were really running the movement. His reply was meant to show that the students leading the movement were really in charge and not being manipulated. He wasn’t making any comment on the trustworthiness of all older adults:
1 would be Nikita Khrushchev.
8 is “…when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.”
That’s the extent of my knowledge on those questions.
