Rock 'n' Roll trivia questions

So maybe I'm enjoying these secondhand tracks too much, but I still love 'em even if they aren't the original releases. Anyway, Brian's been really busy so there's not too much new in the way of Musical Geography Questions. To fill the gap, I give to you a few Rock 'n' Roll questions. A couple of gimmes and one I think is a little tougher.

1. Who out-bops the buzzard and the oriole? [Note: This has to be the dumbest great R'n'R song of all time]

2. Who walks in the classroom cool and slow? [GAWD I love these guys!]

3. I think this one's a toughie, so a little more detail: Who shot Billy with a .44, shot him so bad that the bullet went through Billy and broke the bartender's glass?

Dude, I'm impressed!

I knew the first two, but not No. 3. But, damn you Ken, now I'm singing about rocking in the treetops all day long, hopping and bopping and singing his song ....

Ooh! The first two were easy, but I was kind of tickled that I was able to get the third, even if Mumblix beat me to it.

I've often wondered what happened to Billy's "three little children and very sickly wife..."

I've wondered about that too.

Somehow I managed to never hear "Stagger Lee." And I'm old enough to remember when Apollo 11 was live news coverage.

I trust you have heard it now?

And you're still a child... I actually remember Gemini flights.

Realistically, I probably should remember Mercury too, but I don't.

I was born 11/05/60 - too young to remember remember the JFK assassination, old enough to remember first-run Star Trek and Batman.

[sniff] kid. But at least you (barely) achieved being an Eisenhower baby.

Here's an oddity about me: I remember JFK being President. I remember him having been assassinated. But I don't remember him hearing about him being assassinated. I was in kindergarten when it happened.
