Non-categorized Trivia (no particular edition)

Hmm. Absolutely no idea why this popped into my head this evening. But it did, so I'm going to run with it:

Eighty men died trying to end that spree. What spree?

Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Jeez, that was easy.

Of course it was easy. What's hard is trying to figure out why it popped into my head in the first place.

Maybe as payback for getting "This Magic Moment" stuck in my head for days. It's a great song, but sheesh!

Did you know there was a sequel to "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron"? Right here. Now we must wonder why the NIH is posting children's Christmas songs.

I did indeed. In fact, odd as it sounds, I actually heard "Snoopy's Christmas" before I ever heard the original. I picked up bits and pieces of the original on the school ground long before I heard it (and at first thinking "I don't remember '10-20-30-40' in Snoopy's Christmas").

The Royal Guardsmen actually did three "Snoopy and the Red Baron" songs:

Snoopy vs the Red Baron
Return of the Red Baron
Snoopy's Christmas

All three can be found (along with a bunch of their other novelty songs) on the double CD "Snoopy Vs the Red Baron/Snoopy And His Friends."

That second one I've never heard.
