Potpourri For 100 - Vol 2: Get Psyched as Shawn & Gus Return to Play Another Game of Rock Jeopardy!

Hi, I'm Shawn Spencer...

psychic sleuth and boy toy to the stars.

and this is my partner, Rumpelstiltskin Bleeth,

licensed mother's milk taste tester.

Not true, Shawn! 

Recently, Gus and I were celebrity contestants

on the TV game show Rock Jeopardy.

It went something..... like..... this.....

        I'll take

        Nursery Rhyme

        Songs for 100,

         Alex. 

The answer is...

Her name matching the title of a

hit song, written and recorded by

Lee Dorsey, and inspired by a

children's nursery rhyme, she

hosts the family-friendly blog

Whispering Pines.

      (DING) Shawn...

    The spirits have gathered 'round.

    They wish to speak through me.

    I am merely their conduit. I am

    their vessel. Hold on, it's coming

    to me now. Who is that wacky,

     lovable "Coochie-coochie" girl

    --- Latin spitfire Charo?

No... that's incorrect.

(DING) Gus...

"YaYa!"    

                  A reminder, Gus, that

                   your response must be

                in the form of a question.

               Sorry. Who is                   "YaYa"?   

Yes, that's right! "Sittin' here

la, la, waiting for my Ya Ya...

the much loved blogger who

brings us the latest from

Gus, you now control
the board. Please select
a category and amount.

                Rock chicks

                   for 100.

The answer is...

Recorded by Canadian rock queen Lee Aaron,
this 2018 song and video featuring historic figures
Elvis Presley, Lady Liberty, Abraham Lincoln and
Amelia Earhart calls attention to the "polarization
of values and beliefs" that is occurring under the
current administration in Washington. 

 (DING) Shawn...

        
    What is...

    "You Picked a Fine
    Time to Leave Me,
    Loose Wheel"?

No... sorry, Shawn. 

(DING) Gus...

                             

                     What is                   "American High"?

Right you are, Gus - A song from
Lee Aaron's 2018 album Diamond
Baby Blues-- "American High!" 

"American High" - Lee Aaron

(from 2018 album Diamond Baby Blues)

Gus, you're on a roll.
Back to the board

you go to pick a

category and

amount.

            I'll take

            City Songs

               for 300.

The answer is...

A number one charting crossover hit

for Wilbert Harrison, the song's lyrics

include, "They got some crazy little

women there, and I'm gonna

get me one." 

 (DING) Shawn...

       What is

         Mar-a-Lago? 

I'm checking with the judges...

but they say no... they cannot

accept it... not what we

were looking for.

(DING) Gus...

                What is

            Kansas City"?  

You got it! "Goin' to Kansas City...

Kansas city here I come!"

"Kansas City" - Wilbert Harrison

Okay, it's time to take a break.

Checking the score, we see that

Gus is our leader with $500,

while Shawn has yet to get

on the board with ZERO.

We'll see if Shawn can mount

a comeback in the next round.
