YESSSSSS! I am lyricist YIP HARBURG, who provided the memorable words to songs like “Brother, Can You Spare a DIme” and “Over the Rainbow.”

Well done, SCAdian.

(Seems like I say that a lot!)

NEVER heard of him. So now I know how Sca feels playing this game. :smiley:

I knew of him because the Chad Mitchell Trio recorded one of his poems, “For the Man of Extinction.” I was quite surprised to learn what else he had written…
I am Z.

Yancey Thigpen, and the other two were correct, of course.

IQ1) Did you record “Mo and Herb’s Vacation” with the London Philharmonic?

IQ2) Were you the first Latin American player to win the American League MVP award?

IQ3) Did Sonja Henie buy and popularize your most famous creation?

IQ1: Did you write Lord of Light?
IQ2: Did you never quite arrive at your destination, philosophically?

wtg Scadian (again)

IQ1: Were you Steve Sanders in Beverly Hills, 90210?
IQ2: Are you an alien from Irk who tries to subjugate and destroy the human race?
IQ3: Did you play Rose DeWitt Bukater’s fiance?
