Potpourri For 100: Get Psyched as Shawn & Gus Make a Triumphant Return to Rock Jeopardy!

Hi, I'm Shawn Spencer,
psychic sleuth and boy toy to the stars.

And this is my partner, Wolfgang von Glockenspiel,
world renowned designer of erotic swizzle sticks.

Not true, Shawn!

Recently, Gus and I were celebrity contestants

on the new TV game show Rock Jeopardy

and it went something... like... this.....

Shawn Spencer, you control

the board. Please select a

category and amount.

Alex, after eating up
three minutes of air

time to think it over,

I've decided to take
Food Songs for 100.

The answer is: A familiar face and

frequent guest on TV variety shows

and sitcoms of the 60s and 70s -

actor, comedian, singer and

impressionist Guy Marks had

a hit on both sides of the Atlantic

with this novelty song parody

recalling the big band era.

(DING) Shawn...

I sense a disturbance
in the Force. It's as if
someone...or something
is trying to contact me.

My inner eye has 20-20

vision, and my future's

so bright I gotta

wear shades. 

Please hurry with your response,
Shawn. Don't let the buzzer sound.

What is "I Got Ants
in My Pants and I
Want to Dance"?

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

No... no... that is incorrect. (DING)
Gus Guster, can you take it?

"Loving You Has
Made Me Bananas."

Just to remind you, Gus, that your
response must be in the form of a
question or we cannot accept it.

What is "Loving You
Has Made Me Bananas"?

(DING DING DING)

Right you are! "Loving You Has

Made Me Bananas" by Guy Marks,

a record that reached #51 in the

states in 1968 and the top 30 in

the UK ten years later.

"Loving You Has Made Me Bananas" - Guy Marks

(Apr./May 1968, highest chart pos. #51 Hot 100,

re-released in UK in 1978 and peaked at #25,

perf. on May 1978 ep. of Top Of The Pops)

Gus, the board is yours.
Pick a category and amount.

Food Songs for 200, Alex.

The answer is: A popular breakfast

cereal introduced in 1965, its adver-

tising jingle was borrowed from a

1957 hit by Jimmie Rodgers.

(DING) Shawn...

What is Count Chocula?

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

No... not what we were looking for. 
(DING) Gus, over to you.

What is "Honeycomb"?

(DING DING DING)

That's it, you got it! "Honeycomb" -
a chart-topper in the fall of 1957!

"Honeycomb" - Jimmie Rodgers

(Sept./Oct. 1957, highest chart pos. #1)

Gus, the board is still yours.
Please select.

Let's go with
Dirty Ditties
for 100, Alex.

The answer is: Half of a popular brother
and sister recording act of the 60s, her
first single, released in January 1951,
entitled "Don't Do It," a controversial,
racy song about a couple parked on
lovers' lane and sung in a breathy,

seductive manner, was banned by
radio stations. (DING) Shawn...

Who are Ma & Pa Kettle?

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

(Alex pauses in stunned silence)
No... no... not even close, Shawn.
Gus, can you take it?

Who is... who is.....

Hurry... five seconds, Gus.

Who is...

Connie Stevens?

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)

No, I'm sorry, Gus. You were on the
right track, but it's April Stevens...
that's the name we were looking for,
April Stevens of the famous sibling
duo Nino Tempo and April Stevens.

"Don't Do It" - April Stevens & "The Day Dreamers"

(Jan. 1951, B side of "The Sweetest Day")

We need to take a short break right here.

Checking the score, we see that Gus is

in the lead with 300 and Shawn is not yet

on the board. Why am I not surprised?

We'll be back with more of Rock Jeopardy

after this word from our sponsor, Shady

Del Knight's Fake Mustache Boutique.

Men, if your fake mustache isn't becoming to you...

...then you should be coming to me.

I'm Shady Del Knight, and I’m not only

the Fake Mustache Boutique president

... I'm also a client!
