I didn't google the lyrics, but I did google "What I Like About You." That's not it. George -
I don't know it. George

Correct. Presumably, you got it from the Triple Movie Links thread. Fun movie. Candy and Aykroyd are brothers-in-law on a weekend vacation with their wives and kids. Spiner plays a guy who has been hit by lightning "Six-si-si-six-si-SIXTY times." George

I know you've done this before, and I know it's not "Wooly Bully," which has a similar opening. George -
No. Spiner wasn't well-known at the time of this movie. (He might have had his role in Night Court.) Candy, Aykroyd, and Benning certainly were. One might consider looking at other threads for clues... George

"Only don't tell me you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and makes me very angry." "Tell me, do you spend time with your family?" "Sure I do." "Good. Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." "All right. This one time I'll let you ask me about my affairs." "Is it true? Is it?" "No." "I guess we both need a drink, huh?" George

Here are five game shows from the 1960's. Name one to win the round. (Note some shows were also in the late 50's or early 70's.) Originally, a celebrity would secretly receive a name and try to convey it to a contestant with homophones (sort of like the "Pictionary" threads here). For example: "Someone who can't hear is" -- DEAF. "The fifth letter of the alphabet is" --E. "You moor a boat at a" -- DOCK DEAF + E + DOCK --> Daffy Duck. In a later version, a team of panelists helped the contestant. Contestants answered general knowledge toss-up questions posed by the host, earning $5 for a correct answer or losing that amount for a miss. Unlike most other game shows of the time, though, only the first contestant to buzz in could answer a question; a miss took it out of play for the other two. At certain points during the game, the contestant in the lead participated in an "Instant Bargain" and was offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise at a bargain price. The selling price for the item, generally the value of one or more questions, was then deducted from the contestant's score, and the prize was theirs to keep regardless of the game's outcome. The high school version of College Bowl. (Incidentally, I was my high school's team captain two years.) Three teams competed. Each team began with a base time of 1 minute and 30 seconds. In the first round of the game, one contestant from each team was shown a grocery item and asked to guess its retail price. The team who came the closest won the item and an additional 15 seconds were added to their time. Four items were shown. In the second round of the game, the contestant from each team who did not play the first round went on a shopping spree through the market, using the time accumulated. Bonus items worth $10 to $100 were also spread throughout the store. All teams kept every item they picked up, with the team with the highest total in groceries, bonus prizes and other items winning the right to return to the show and play in the next game. Teams remained on the show until they were defeated or until they reached the winnings cap of $20,000. A guessing game in which the four panelists attempted to determine the occupation of a guest. In the case of the famous mystery guest each week, the panel sought to determine the identity of the celebrity. Panelists were required to probe by asking only yes-no questions. George
