RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

9/20/2024

ANSWERS

 Here we have the answer to Monday's quiz.  Was this one easier or harder than the first?  I hope you didn't stoop to looking up the answer on the Internet.  

"What was the first first name used in the song Name Game?"   The original went this way . . .

Shirley

Shirley, Shirley bo-ber-ley, bo-na-na fanna fo-fer-ley, fee-fi-mo-mer-ley, Shirley

The correct answer is "Shirley"

. . . but a popular version by a cover group went this way.  

Shelley

Shelley, Shelley bo belly, bo-na-na panna fo-felley, fee-fi-mo melly, Shelley. 

This is the version we sang around our house.


Why don't we have songs with great romantic lyrics like this any more?
