"Johnny B. Good."

Still holding off on posting mine. I'd like to mention a few things, in the meantime. 1) I also put Eric Clapton as a lead guitarist. 2) 3 different people put Paul McCartney as bassist. Not me, as I never remember him PLAYING the bass. Apparently, everyone else does. 3) In the interest of having lots of musicians sit in for a song or 2, I added a violinist, harmonica player, and floutist. Wordpup beat me to suggesting the violinist. I also added someone on sitar. 4) There's still no such thing as a wrong answer, although I'd question a few. Someone asked me about a band they didn't know- so I questioned whether they thought the musicians they didn't know could keep up with this list, and they admitted THEY didn't think so. I'm still reconsidering one of my lead vocalists, because I'm sure I'm forgetting someone.

"Let me guess- you're from outer space?" "No, I'm from Iowa. I only WORK in outer space."

Matthew Broderick was having "Ferris Buehler's Day Off". It was his 9th sick day, so he figured he'd better make it count as he wasn't going to get a 10th one. "We saw everything. We saw the whole city. We ate pancreas." (Not even counting the parade or catching a fly ball at Wrigley Field.) They went for lunch in a spiffy upscale restaurant where he claimed to be Abe Frohman, Sausage King of Chicago. (Good thing the real Abe didn't show up while they were still eating.) That's where they "ate pancreas." In "Risky Business", Tom Cruise and Rebecca DeMornay did a whole lot of other things. One of the more famous moments was Tom Cruise having the house to himself and singing karaoke or lip-synching in the living room. *slides out*

Somebody from before my time, obviously..... Tony Curtis????????

Me, too.

Taking a swing at it.... was this "Malcolm 10" or something?

Raf's right. I confused Oasis with Radiohead (it can happen), and I got stuck on the title because "I'm a loser" and "I'm a creep" sort-of blend together in my head as song lyrics go. I'd have the same problem if there were lines like "I'm a cretin" or "I'm a nincompoop" and so on. So, Raf's turn, fair and square.

Ok, let's review what we have so far..... I've got a few questions about (former) Pope John Paul I (formerly Albino Luciani.) A) He caused something to happen that had NOT happened since 1605. B) He was the first pope to do what? C) He was the first pope to also do what? (B & C are 2 different answers.) D) In one category, he came in 4th (honorable mention.) In what was he 4th? ====================== Where are we on answers so far? B) First pope to use two names So, we have B but not the rest. BTW, if you have B you can probably guess C as they are related. He was actually pretty famous for D (there are still conspiracy theories about this) (A) was a direct consequence of D.

So, we're back to one living Pope.

"Well, she was just seventeen, and you know what I mean..." (We know what you mean, you mean you're going to jail!)

Well, I'll just take that one to the streets and post another.

Beaches John Heard Home Alone

Which makes this George's turn.

He did, but this once I think we can overlook that, since it's obvious from what he posted that he knew it was "A Christmas Story" and MEANT to name the movie. His, OTOH, is "RISKY BUSINESS." *slides away*

A) No, that was Benedict/ Ratzinger, Francis' predecessor. Considering he had a reputation for following tradition, it's peculiar he didn't follow the tradition for a Pope stepping down and return to "Bishop of", making for only one Pope. Instead, he called himself "Pope Emeritus," which was a completely different first. So, we have one living Pope and one living Pope Emeritus." B) Correct. D) *checks* No.

"The ship appears to be run by computer. It is the only thing that is speaking." "Speaking? Let me hear it." "9-8-7-6-5..." "Get out! Get out of there! Get out!"

I got to thinking about who'd be well-known in the US, the UK AND here. That ran the list down VERY quickly. Peppa Pig is famous in the UK, and well-known here, but AFAIK, largely unknown in the US. And each of the 3 countries has something known locally but not recognized anywhere else (like Plim Plim or El Sapo Pepe.) And so on. Of the smaller number famous everywhere I know, there's fewer couples (Shaggy and Scooby do NOT count.)

How iconic can we get...... Were they the voices for MICKEY MOUSE and MINNIE MOUSE?

How about "Meet Joe Black"????

I'll let people chime in a bit before throwing in some of my ideas. However, with 2 artists per position, I posted 2 for one position- and you posted one of them. At least 1 is a neat choice I didn't even consider.

"You don't know me, but I'm your brother."

That last part rings a bell. It's not Beck's "Loser." It's not Oasis. I'm on the right track somewhere in there, I just know it...
