Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Name the actor who was set to play the Tin Man in the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz". He had to give up the role.

Answer: Buddy Ebsen

Buddy was cast to play the Scarecrow, but switched roles with Ray Bolger. He suffered a severe reaction to the silver makeup required for the Tin Man role and was replaced by Jack Haley. He is now best known for his role as Jed Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies".

2. What was the name of the 1997 Disney/Warner Bros. film featuring a basketball-playing dog who helped a shy teenager fit in at his new school?

Answer: Air Bud

The role of Buddy was played by a golden retriever whose name was actually Air Buddy. Air Buddy appeared many times on television and has even had his life story written into a book called "Go Buddy!". He also learned to play football, baseball, volleyball and soccer before the franchise was turned over to his puppies in several subsequent movies.

3. Bernard "Buddy" Rich (1917-1987), American jazz musician and bandleader, was billed as the "world's greatest" on which instrument?

Answer: Drums

Buddy Rich played with some of the biggest bands including Tommy Dorsey, Les Brown and Harry James. He performed with some of the biggest jazz solo acts as well, backing up, among others, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

4. Buddy Holly was one of the most influential performers in early rock and roll. What was his first number one hit?

Answer: That'll Be the Day

Charles Hardin Holley was always called Buddy by his family and used that name to perform under. Under contract with Decca he recorded an earlier version of "That'll Be the Day" before being released from his contract. He recorded the #1 version under the band name The Crickets to get around any rights claims by Decca. Decca, incidentally also turned down the Beatles as well, proving that not everyone in the music business was an expert.

5. To become a member of the special operations force called the Navy Seals, trainees must undergo a six month course called BUD/S. What does BUD/S stand for?

Answer: Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL

SEa, Air and Land team trainees undergo 8 weeks of basic training in physical and mental endurance under extreme conditions, followed by 8 weeks of diving and underwater instruction, followed by 9 weeks of learning land warfare, weapons and demolition tactics and strategies. For those who complete BUD/S, there is an additional 3 weeks of parachute training.

Answer: Frogs

Two chameleons named Frankie and Louie did eventually appear in ads during the campaign, as did an unnamed squeaky ferret.

Answer: Umami

Umami is a savory taste found in foods high in glutamates. It was first identified by Kikunae Ikeda in 1908. Foods rich in umami flavors include tomatoes, certain green leafy vegetables, fish and shellfish, cheese and some cured meats.

8. The 1997 movie "Buddy" told the tale of an eccentric socialite (Trudy Lintz) who lived in house full of animals and raised a baby gorilla as her own son. Who played the role of Trudy?

Answer: Rene Russo

Strangely enough this movie is based on a true story. Trudy Lintz was known to dress up apes in human clothes and drive them around New York City. Buddy the gorilla was eventually sold to the Ringling Brothers/Barnum and Bailey Circus where he was renamed Gargantua, a name which was evidently more awe-inspiring.

9. Which famous Buddy is a legendary Chicago blues guitarist whose debut album was "I Left My Blues in San Francisco" and is known for his song "Stone Crazy"?

Answer: Buddy Guy

Buddy was rated #30 on Rolling Stones list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, and is listed as an influence by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others.

10. This delicious ice cream cone treat was first produced by the Seymour Ice Cream Company and named after its founder Buddy Seymourian.

Answer: Nutty Buddy

Nutty Buddy has vanilla and chocolate ice cream in a sugar cone, coated with chocolate, and sprinkled with peanuts. Although the Seymour Ice Cream Company is no longer in business, Nutty Buddy cones are still produced by Purity Dairies.
