I couldn't remember the name of Red Skelton's hobo character, but I knew the rest of them.

I only got 13. Guess I'm too young.
Do more...it was fun.

Day the music died was actually a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper who all died in the same plane crash, One of the lines in the song is...
"And, the three men I admire most: the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they
caught the last train for the coast the day the music died "

#8 the jazz trumpet playing Satchmo was Louis Armstrong. Satchel Paige was a baseball player.

#20. The Alka Seltzer kid is "Speedy"

Would you like the rest of them?
