Rock 'n' Roll Trivia (Doctor Demento Edition)

UPDATE: Last one nailed and all answers noted.

Okay, perhaps it doesn't all fit the category of Rock 'n' Roll, but I do have a soft spot for novelty songs. I love 'em and I listened to the good Doctor when I was in junior high back in the early Pleistocene Era.

Also, we made our occasional pilgrimage to Borders today, in conjunction with getting back the regular computer, because I had a couple of gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. Picked up a Doctor Demento CD set; just saw it on the shelf and had to have it. And I took it on my regular weekend bike ride and now this. 'Cause I got nothin' else.

Well, except for the Carter Family CD set I also picked up at a great price and which will be the focus of a future C/W Trivia edition or two. Also, Doctor D will be the subject of another trivia edition in the future because it is also a multi-disc set. And because I just love this silly stuff.

But that is then and this is now, and some of these will be mega-easy but let's have some fun, eh?

1) The ghouls all came from their humble abode to do what? (Two answers acceptable, but one is preferred) [Laura and Julie: To get a jolt from my electrode, and to do the Monster Mash]

2) The nation rise as one to send their honored son to the White House to voice their discontent unto the President upon a burning question that has swept this continent. And what is that question? (Again, two acceptable answers) [JohnW: "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?" I believe John actually misheard the other question, which (and yes, I searched to be sure I had it right) is: "If tin whistles are made of tin, what are foghorns made out of?"]

3) When that clock strikes midnight and I'm all by myself, I work that combination on my secret hideaway shelf. What do I pull out? And then what do I do? [Wolfwalker has the right song, anybody remember the exact lyric?]

4) The head coach wants no sissies, so he reads to us from something called "Ulysses". Where am I? [Julie and Wolfwalker: Camp Granada]

5) He swung from the tree and lit on the ground and started to rock, really rockin' around. Who is he? [Wolfwalker: The Purple People Eater]

6) We were doing 120 MPH, as fast as I could go, but he pulled alongside of me as if we're going slow. What was he driving and what did he ask me? [Laura: A little Nash Rambler, "How can I get this car out of second gear?"]

7) You've been keeping love from me just like you were a miser. But I went out and found myself a guy that's so much wiser who taught me the way to win your heart. Who was he and what did he teach me? [Laura: The Witch Doctor, who taught me so say "oo ee oo ah ah, etc."]

8) He lives in the jungle and hangs from his knees, swings through the trees without a trapeze in his BVDs. Who is he? [Thornharp: Git-tarzan]

9) My basketball coach done kicked me off the team. Why? [Zendo Deb: For wearing high-heeled sneakers and acting like a queen]

And here come a couple that I think are real toughies:

10) My red corp-suckles are in mass confusion. What am I never going to do again? [Wolfwalker: Ain't never never never gonna speed again]

11) What aren't much fun? (And yes, I am thoroughly ashamed to have included this one) [Caltechgirl: Dead puppies]
