Anyone up for a Trivia game?

[redirish28]

(Okay, we can do this with anything but let's face it most people watch TV so let's do a game on Theme songs.)


question 1


Which show does this lyric come from:



"Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I've been seen with Farrah."


BOUNS: Who "Sang" the theme?



Question 2:

These lyrics where never used in the show when the theme was played but those who are "die-hard" fans will know this and those who are pretty good trivia players.


"Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand’ring in star-flight"

[Dr Morbius]

1. Q1: The Fall Guy

"Sung" by Lee Majors.

Q2: No idea whatsoever. I could guess but a guess is only a guess.

[redirish28]

[redirish28]

4. Didn't mean it that way... Think about conventions....

[some guy]

[redirish28]

8. You are right. Star Trek.

[some guy]

12. so I have to think up a trivia question?

hmm, I don't like this game so much any more. . .

TV theme songs. Ya know, I don't actually own a tv.

okay, fine. This is a verse for a TV theme song, but the lyrics weren't used in the tv show.

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...


(lyrics by the son of director Robert Altman - Mike Altman)

[Dr Morbius]

13. That's Suicide is Painless, M*A*S*H.

11. Question 3: (Thank my wife she found this one.)

"Back in the days of Valentino, we know A maid named Ethel was so bright and alive (wacky doo,wacky doo) But she was struck down by a trolley, golly Said good-bye in nineteen twenty and five (toodleloo,toodleloo)"

[some guy]

17. I'm going to guess

My Mother The Car.

I've no idea why, except the car was old.


(and I posted in white to the other question about March of the dead Marionette)

[redirish28]

sorry dupe.

[redirish28]

24. No. It was a sitcome from the 1980s.Can't think of traditional TV networks.

[Dr Morbius]

15. Here's one:

Which TV show used as its theme a classical piece by Charles Gounod called Funeral March of a Marionette?

[some guy]

16. Hey I sort of know that answer.

But I don't know any more trivia questions, and I'm not sure which tv show it was actually the theme for.

so.

"Alfred Hitchcock Presents", I think. But that's not my answer, bcause I don't want to be right, and have to pose a question.



:)

[pinboy3niner]

And in lieu of posting a question, we'll go with your Question #4.

[redirish28]

23. Leave it to beaver theme?

[some guy]

18. Question 4: these lyrics

are from the theme song for which tv comedy?


The end of the Civil War was near
When quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory.

[Brother Buzz]

What branch of the service did Sky King serve in?

sorry, the only thing I recall about Sky King was there was a plane, and someone at DU had a crush on Penny, whoever she was in that show.

[Brother Buzz]

[Dr. Strange]

29. Bingo!

The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits," was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he sang nonsense words to give an idea of how it would sound. Wilson decided to use the words anyway, since he felt that it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberately gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs. Also, because CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would actually hear the closing theme lyrics anyway.
