Stephen Bishop, the Greatest Human Ever Quiz

Answer: On and On

Yes, the soundtrack of 1977 was exemplified by "On and On". Even though ten other songs managed to inexplicably beat out this, the greatest song ever recorded, on the Billboard charts, every human owes a debt of gratitude to Stephen Bishop for enriching our lives in ways we can never repay. "The Pina Colada Song" was performed by Rupert Holmes. "Spanish Pipedream" was written and performed by John Prine. "Midnight at the Oasis" was a Maria Muldaur song.

Answer: The Kentucky Fried Movie

Yes, Stephen played the role of "Charming Guy" in TKF Movie. The highlight of his performance was creating a puppet out of his hands that sang "Surfin' USA". I guess you had to see it.

Answer: Animal House

Yes, everyone's favorite scene in any movie from the 1970s is the one where John Belushi as Bluto smashes the Charming Guy with Guitar's guitar. Belushi's rage in the scene isn't acting. The guitar was supposed to break the first time Belushi hit it against the wall.

When it didn't, he proceeded to react in the way we all saw on film. Bishop had the cast members autograph the guitar and keeps it to this day, once again demonstrating how much better he is than anyone else.

Answer: Charming Trooper

Yes, that was maybe an easy one involving "Charming" and "Landis". Mr. Bishop played the trooper who had his watch broken. The Head Nazi was played by Henry Gibson. The Reverend Cleophus James was the hardest working man in show business, James Brown.

The clerk at the Cook County Assessor's office was the not-so-famous actor Steven Spielberg, who never amounted to anything in film-making after his brush with Bishop greatness.

Answer: Charming G.I.

Yes, John Landis equals Stephen Bishop equals Charming something. Actor Vic Morrow played Bill Connor. Tragically, he was killed along with two child actors during the filming of the movie. Mr. Bloom was played by Scatman Crothers. John Valentine was played by John Lithgow.

Answer: Art Garfunkel

Yes, even though Art Garfunkel was the host, Lorne Michaels booked Stephen as the musical guest, because he didn't want to disappoint the audience after making them listen to Art perform "All I Know" and "Scarborough Fair". Art has recorded at least eight Bishop songs.

Answer: Eric Clapton

Yes, Slow Hand himself gave the nod to Stephen. Clapton recorded the Bishop song "Holy Mother". Stephen has apparently not bothered to record any Clapton songs.

Answer: Animal House

Yes, that's Stephen Bishop singing falsetto in the song that was not heard until the closing credits. Another Landis connection for the incredible Bishop! The theme to "MASH", aka "Suicide is Painless", was written by director Robert Altman's 14 year old son, Mike.

It was performed by Johnny Mandel. Mike made far more money for writing the song than his father did for directing the movie it appeared in. The theme to "Car Wash" was performed by Rose Royce. "The Cincinnati Kid" is a Ray Charles composition.

Answer: The Exorcist

Yes, Stephen Bishop, who is more worthy of praise than any other human who has ever lived, was responsible for all of these unforgettable, life changing songs. Except for "The Exorcist". Someone else, the far less talented Mike Oldfield, wrote the theme known as "Tubular Bells".

Answer: Earl

Yes, Stephen was known as Early the girl in school because he once drank out of a girl's water fountain. If only his schoolmates could have known the incomparable heights he would someday reach.
