Send this to your 'old' friends. It will drive them crazy! And, keep them busy and let them forget their aches and pains for a few minutes.

Wow, I must be really old. I remembered them all.

I knew all the answers too.

Well, I should have known all the answers but on two questions my old age refused to let me remember them. That's CRS, right? So, yep, I'm old - just getting forgetful

I missed two. I thought Red Skelton's hobo was Clem Kadittlehopper, and I said Dizzy Gilespy instead of Louis Armstrong.

ok, I remembered them too except one but I could sing the song in my head...
the answer was Buddy Holly and then of course my brain said, Oh ya, duh

Only missed one - Buddy Holly, but I think that still qualifies me as old.

Guess I'm OLD! Only one I missed was Freddie the Freeloader! That's a great quiz. Brings back a lot of memories.

glad I wasn't the only one who missed a couple freddie couldn't come up with his name could picture him
and I could hear the words of the song and when I saw the name thought yes of course that was him!!!
and the limbo came up with limbo but discounted it does that count?
good quiz
sheila

I remembered them all except for the Buddy Holly one. I do remember the song though. And I know I'm old.

I missed the first question ... and the first half of the red skelton question.

That still makes me old as dirt!!

Missed 1 1/2.....Freddie the Freeloader and Buddy Holly.....but it still qualifies me as "old".....lol....

Geesh! I got them all.

Got them all - one of the old ducks. On the other one - songs when you were born - most of ones listed I remember from my childhood!!!
