I answered that clear back in post #28.
He is the author of a non-existent book referenced in the extensive bibliography of Hofstadter’s Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. The biblio entry is quite odd, and very fitting if you’ve read the book. This is from memory, so I can’t tell you the title of Gebstadter’s book, only that it was publishd by Acidic Press (or Acidic Books?).
So you did. BLAST! :smack: (That’ll teach me not to be a smug :wally).
Anybody else get ‘Paperback Writer’? 
Nobody’s guessed mine yet. 
bizzwire: Yep.
Feydeau: Yep.

Since mine was answered 
, here’s another…a bit of a lyrical snippet from my youth…no fair googling!

If you’re posting this as an obscure reference, one assumes you haven’t actually read this thread, which renders it obscure (to you, anyway). Bravo! [golf clap]
I honestly hadnt gone thru all 6 pages… mea culpa…
I haven’t checked this thread for a few days, otherwise I’d’ve answered this one right away. Of course I’d know it, given my user name. This is from the lead-in on the medley “Hi Rockers” on the Guess Who album “Rockin’”. You got the quote slightly wrong, though, it’s Burt doing the talking and the quote ends “… uh, Bri”. Burton Cummings is talking with Brian Christian, the recording engineer.
“Have you ever seen a madras monkey?”
Since people are recapping their obscurity:
I didn’t mean to kill the cat.
“Don’t touch my eyes!”
“And that is why this is a skillet.”
“Don’t let them see you, stay out of the sun, and be yourselves.”

Nope, not even close. It’s from a short-lived John Ritter TV series in 1987 called “Hooperman”.
Ok, I’m going to break with tradition and rather than reposting my unsolveds, I’m going to provide the answers; after this time, I don’t think anyone will get them, and just in case anyone is curious:
