Rock 'n' Roll Trivia (Beach Boys Edition)

So I think I've used up all the good questions I can think of from my new CD collection, so I'm going by memory on other stuff I like. And tomorrow, if I have time and energy after work, I may just do a Jerry Lee Lewis edition.

Once again, two gimmes and a tougher (I think) one:

1. She's cruising through the hamburger stand and forgot about the library. What's she driving?

2. I saved my pennies and dimes. What did I buy?

And the (slightly) tougher one four questions:

3. My grandfather and me roamed around where? In what? And what were we doing all night, and what did we get into after that?

And for the record, this last one is my absolute favorite BB tune.

Addendum, just because I decided I want to: What happened to the cook and what two things did he do?

3. Around Nassau town they did roam. Drinking all night. Got into a fight. They came on a Sloop John B.

What did THEY do after that? I don't know, but the first mate, he got drunk, broke in the Captain's trunk, and the Constable had to come and take him away.

BTW, Ken - one of my favorites, too. But my absolute favorite is "Don't Worry Baby." I think that has to be one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.

As (I hope, by NOW!) you know, the BBs are from my hometown. A while back, I walked a couple of short blocks to where they put the Official Cal State monument to the childhood home of the Wilson boys and took a bunch of photos. Should I post them here? Do you think folks would like to see them? More importantly, would YOU? It's a pretty awesome monument. They let people buy bricks of it where they pay by word or line or character or whatever, and there are "the Beach Boys rock" greetings from all over the *world*. It's kind of amazing. It's just this weird thing, sitting across the street from a residential area, right next to the 105 freeway that plowed the house down.

Oh, man, we would LOVE to see them! POST THE, PLEASE!

ARE YOU WITH ME PEOPLE! MAKE EMILY POST THEM!

Oh, and I just realized that you didn't mention what happened to the poor cook. Third verse, dear ;)

The poor cook he got the fits.

then he ate up all of my grits.

Posted by: Emily at June 9, 2007 08:22 PM

And after that, he ate up all of my corn.

Of course, that still leaves question #2 open.

then he took and ate up all of my corn.

We must have posted those last two entries seconds apart.

Posted by: Emily at June 9, 2007 08:29 PM

Well, great minds think alike, of course. And, my dear girl, you absolutely MUST post those pictures.

*sigh*

I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
