Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What two Flintstones characters are mentioned in the first verse of "Couch Potato"?

Answer: Wilma and Betty

The Flintstones is the first of many TV shows that are mentioned in the song.

"Poodle Hat" was the winner of the Grammy for Best Comedy Album of 2003! This was Al's third Grammy win (the others being Best Comedy Recording in 1984 for "Eat It" and Best Concept Video in 1988 for "Fat").

Eminem gave Weird Al the permission to do a parody on the song but denied him permission to film a music video for the song.

3. After watching which reality TV show mentioned in "Couch Potato", did Al say he felt like he "needed a long shower"?

Answer: Fear Factor

This line was in the third verse and went - "Oh , and Fear Factor I watched for maybe a half hour. After that, felt like I needed a long shower". I can understand that!

4. In "Couch Potato", Weird Al sings - "Turn on E.T because I'm a gossip freak and I gotta know who _____ is marryin' this week". What Hollywood star is he singing about?

So far J. Lo has been married three times (Ojani Noa, Chris Judd and Marc Anthony), engaged once to Ben Affleck and dated numerous others; how else would any one be able to keep up with her!
