Re 14 and 19: As far as I know, the best-known version is also the only version. (Actually, there are minor differences between the record and the music video, but it’s the same singer.)

148

Correct on 1 and 2. #3 was John Carradine.

1 DQ reserved while I think.

EH, if you’d like to reclaim your other DQ and ask it, go ahead. Maybe it would help to know the second letter of my first name, or which half of the alphabet the singer’s name is in, or…

152

OK, thanks.

154

Still stumped. I give up.

155

I give up as well. I’ve racked my brain, but it’s not there.

156

I am NobleCoy Lumpkin, of Hahira, Georgia, and I was what one might call a non-attending attendee at the 43d annual convention of the Grand Mystic Royal Order of the Nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine.

157

Don’t know what EH’s taste in music is, but I’m kind of surprised the Prof didn’t get this…

158

:smack::smack::smack:
I was remembering his name being McCoy Lumpkin.

Yeah, I know the song. Thanks for the earworm.

159

Heh, heh. I’ve been dealing with that earworm (especially the first verse) for several days now… :smiley:

160

I remember that song, too. “Dang it, Coy, this here’s Bubba!” Good one, SCAdian.

Start a new thread for November, please.
