Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. One of Dickies' most popular songs was actually a cover of an American live-action/animated kids' show from 1968-1970. What is the title of this track, also known as the "Tra La La Song"?

Answer: Banana Splits

This song was theme song for "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour" by Sid & Marty Krofft which originally aired on Saturday mornings on NBC from 1968-1970.

"Tra la la, la lala la, tra la la, lala la la"
2. The Dickies' first album, "Incredible Shrinking Dickies" (1979) contains a sped up cover version of a Black Sabbath hit. Which song was it?

Answer: Paranoid

"Paranoid" was included in the pre-studio concert performances and ultimately appeared on the first Dickies' album, "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies" (1978). The original Black Sabbath version of "Paranoid" is timed at 2m53s, while The Dickies' version is 49 seconds shorter at 2m04s.
3. In 1983, The Dickies released an original song on an album of the same name, which mentions a certain warplane flying over a certain amusement park. What was the name of this song and album?

Answer: Stukas Over Disneyland

The album cover shows a Stuka dive bomber dropping its payload over the ears of a mouse; presumably Mickey Mouse.

The Junkers JU-87 Stuka (STUrzKAmpfflugzeug), built from 1935-1944, was an important player in the German Luftwaffe campaign of "Blitzkrieg" during WWII. It was distinct for its revolutionary gull-wing design.
4. Another original song from The Dickies, is an homage to the three mascots of a popular chain of American auto supply and service centers. What is the title of this track from the band's 1979 album, "Dawn of the Dickies"?

Answer: Manny, Moe, and Jack

The cover of the album shows The Dickies being attacked by a horde of blue skinned Zombies. This is a blatant tribute to George A. Romero's 1979 horror movie, "Dawn of the Dead".

The Dickies LOVE doing tributes, homages, nods, and acknowledgments.
5. Finish the line from the lyrics of this song by The Dickies. It is also the subtitle of the same song: "You Drive Me Ape, You Big ____"

This song was included on The Dickies' 1979 album, "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies". In concert, vocalist Leonard Graves Phillips would often start this song with an ape mask on his face.
6. Which one of these animated show theme songs did The Dickies cover?

Answer: Gigantor

This song is only available as a single (1980) and on the "Dawn of The Dickies" CD Version on Captain Oi! Records.

"Gigantor" is the American title of the popular Japanese Manga series, "Tetsujin 28-go", orginally created in 1956. It wasn't released in the USA until 1964.

The "Spiderman" theme song was covered by The Ramones.
7. The Dickies provided the theme song for a zany science fiction/comedy movie of 1988. What is the title?

Answer: Killer Klowns From Outer Space

The full version was released as the title track of the 1998 EP, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space", which also included four additional tracks. Live and studio versions of the song subsequently appeared on their compilation albums.
8. In yet another tune honoring Cartoonland, The Dickies recoded a cover version of a song, "Eep Opp Ork Uh Uh", (aka "Eep Opp Ork Ah Ah) performed by the fictitious group, Jet Screamer. Which animated Hanna-Barbera series originally featured the far out tune?

Answer: The Jetsons

Performed by Howard Morris, the song was featured on the 1962 Jetsons episode, "A Date With Jet Screamer".

The Dickies' version can be found as a Bonus Track of The Dickies' "Second Coming" CD on Captain Oi! Records.
9. Yep, another Hanna-Barbera Cartoon question. Finish the title of this festive ditty that appears on The Dickies' 1983 studio album. "Bowling With _____" (Fill in the blank)

Answer: Bedrock Barney

Of course, this title refers to Fred Flintstone's best friend and bowling buddy, Barney Rubble. The song was written by The Dickies' vocalist Leonard Graves Phillips and guitarist, Stan Lee. Unlike most of The Dickies' cartoon theme song covers, this song has no direct connection with "The Flintstones" TV show.
10. Can you remember the song that reveals the band's infatuation with a certain Los Angeles TV news anchor?

Answer: I'm Stuck in a Pagoda (With Tricia Toyota)

Tricia Toyota was a popular news anchor on KNBC-TV (Los Angeles) Channel 4, from 1975-1985. Currently, she is an adjunct professor at her alma mater, UCLA.
