  1. I believe #8 is "The Dating Game" (one of my high school classmates, who later became a star of CW music, was on it - name her!)...the song that I associate most with the show is "Spanish Flea."

    #9 - Seems to me "A Taste of Honey" was often played on "The Dating Game" - and I think "Whipped Cream" was also used - beyond that, who knows...Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass were perfect for a dating game of the '60s, Paul...

  2. Eve ,your right on #8 GOOD WORK. As for your question , really a CW star I'll have to think about that. For # 9 Whipped Cream and Spanish Flea was used when they brought out the ladies, I'll give you credit for Flea but it was on the fifth TJB Lp; Going Places, not Whipped Cream. The other tune used at the "reveal"was the last cut on side two of the Lp Lollipops and Roses, one of my all time TJB favorites. BTW I had a high school friend who was on the show and good old Jim Lang got her name wrong. I still have most of my TJB Lp's and by the way they were recorded at Gold Star Recording Studios and engineered by Larry Levine ,
    the same studio and engineer used by Phil Spector . No wonder they sound great.

  3. #4."Thunder Road", was inspired by the Robert Mitchum movie of the same name, Thunder Road (1958).

  5. #1: Because I am a Raoul Walsh fan I give you "High Sierra" and "Objective, Burma!".

    #2: The always watchable though I'm not sure how much I like it, "Across the Pacific".

  7. Hi, Paul - I knew "Spanish Flea" wasn't on "Whipped Cream" (didn't know what it was on, though) - didn't (obviously) remember the other "Dating Game"/TJB connections very well.

    Classmate was Barbara Mandrell.

  8. Eve , I was trying to think of who your classmate could have been , I would have NEVER come up with Barbara.

  9. It looks like I'm too late to get any questions I might have known (ala the Great Flynn and Bogart). However, love that picture of Errol trying to to the conga! He looks a little unsure of the dance, but I wouldn't mind being the girl he is reaching for! LOL!

  12. Since I went to a lot of time and trouble to answer these questions for #102, I'm answering them whether they're all solved or not, by golly! :-)

    1. Henry Hull made MIDNIGHT, a.k.a. CALL IT MURDER, with Bogart, and made OBJECTIVE: BURMA, with Flynn.

    2. Richard Loo appeared with Humphrey Bogart in ACROSS THE PACIFIC.

    3. Kurt Russell said: "Besides that, it's all in the reflexes" in BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA.

    4. "Name a mid-1950s film that inspired Bruce Springsteen to compose a song with the same title." The answer is THUNDER ROAD.

    5. "How did the song title in the previous question became a major part of the plot in a completely different film? Be specific." In the movie version of GREASE, Kenickie {Jeff Conaway} refers to THUNDER ROAD during the drag race.

    6. Pamelyn Ferdin and Teri Garr both appeared in WHAT A WAY TO GO!

    7. The main stars of WHAT A WAY TO GO were Shirley MacLaine, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, Dean Martin, Gene Kelly, Robert Cummings, and Dick Van Dyke. If you need the supporting cast, too, I'm afraid you're on your own; I've got too many deadlines to cover the rest of the cast! :-)

    8. THE DATING GAME used music from the Tijuana Brass album "Whipped Cream & Other Delights"? (Very popular in our household at the time! :-))

    9. The Tijuana Brass songs used on THE DATING GAME included “Spanish Flea,” “Whipped Cream,” and “Lollipops and Roses.”

    Have a great holiday season, everyone!

  13. Dorian , Well now, I'll take all your answers EXcept for # 5 but I'l give you credit since I admit to never seeing Grease. What I was looking for was the film Explorers where "the ship" is called Thunder Road because it's a Bruce Springsteen song. Also would have taken High Sierra,for # 1 other than that I'm very impressed.

  14. Thanks, Paul! I appreciate your words about THUNDER ROAD; I learn something new every time I drop by the Cafe! :-)
