Name the Stars of Fuzzy Wuzzy.

Factual Questions
1

Yes, this is the next “You Can’t Win” question from Lazer 103 radio in Wisconsin. Anyone have any solid ideas as to what the answer is?

I checked the imdb and this was all that came up.

Perhaps I’m pessimistic, but I doubt that’s it. I think they tend to try to make their answers slightly less obvious than something the imdb would have.

I think Kipling wrote a poem called “Fuzzy Wuzzy”
Something of a tribute to the fighting skills of the Sudanese against the British.

3

Sure enough: Kipling’s Fuzzy Wuzzy

4

Astroboy has it.
If that’s it then the “stars” would be the Sudanese tribesmen and the British infantry.

5

Or hair and bears?

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
So Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t very fuzzy, was he?

I didn’t know there was a movie, or any other poem than this one! :slight_smile:

6

A bear, but which one? Ursa major or Ursa minor? Which one has no hair?

7

I also came across a couple of vague references to a song called “Fuzzy Wuzzy”… but all of the links I clicked had link-rot, and I got nowhere… anyone know of this song?

8

Oh! Try this: song

If this is what the Q is in reference to (?), then the “stars” might be Jesus and Satan… [sup]what the lyrics have to do with “Fuzzy Wuzzy” is beyond me![/sup]

Now that I’m re-searching, I’m coming up with a lot of references to songs: “Fuzzy Wuzzy” by Joanne Hammil, one by a band called “Luna” (their website is even call fuzzywuzy.com!)… others…

I’m leaning to the Kipling explanation…

Good luck!

Damn!

“Luna”

First the vague stuff.

  1. The only vintage radio program I can remember from the 50’s was called Fuzzy Wuzzy. Sat. morning kids fare.
    Presumably several characters aka “stars” involved. Tried a google search but nada so far. Maybe I’ve got this wrong.

Now for the beyond the pale stuff.

  1. There was a series of kids books made in the 40’s featuring furry animals. The animal’s fur in the books was actually fuzzy. Some kind of cruft was pasted on them. Kids would get to rub or “pet” the animal.

Now get this: Each book in the series was labelled “a Fuzzy Wuzzy Book” ™. Published by Whitman Pub., Racine WI.

How do I know this? Well I’ve got one of the books in the series, “Miss Sniff” by Jane Curry, Illus. by Florence Sarah Winship, © 1945, right here in my lap.

Other characters (or stars?) included Fuzzy Wuzzy, Snowball, Chickaree, Patrick, Pom Pom, Waddles, Woofus and so on. (And just found now Paddy, Patchy, and Santa Claus.)

I’d lean to the radio show but the lack of hits is not a good sign.

I have no intent of allowing this forum to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a radio station in Wisconsin simply because they posed a stumper once.

This is the last one.

[bump]

Turns out, what they want to know is who starred in Buzzy Wuzzy, not Fuzzy Wuzzy. This could take us in a different direction.
