June 9th YellowBelly A to Z Answers
Here are the YellowBelly A to Z answers for ye to mull. Scores and winners coming soon!
1. Let Her Go. The other three songs are each called Let it Go. Subtle but distinct difference.
2. Keep on Loving You. The rest use U instead of You (and one uses a U with an umlaut): U Can’t Touch This, Nothing Compares 2 U, U Got it bad, Since U Been Gone, Where are Ü Now, I would Die 4 U
3. Zombie: All Alcohol songs: Red Red Wine, One Bourboun, One Scotch, One Beer, The Old Black Rum, Champagne Supernova, and Tequila. To fill in the blanks, some people like to make a ZOMBIE with CRANBERRIES.
4. Cambria or Carimba!). The other fonts are Monaco, Impact, Rockwell, Century, Arial, Baskerville, Avenir. The first letters scramble to Cambria. All common fonts. (Not Calibri, BTW)
5. Patricide. Hello, my name is [Henry Bowers, Ramsay Bolton, Commodus, Quill, Kevin, Tyrion, Kylo Ren]…I killed my father. Prepare to die.
6. WWW. So, you abbreviate a 3-syllable expression with a 9-syllable acronym? Try saying Worldwide web 10 times fast. Then same with WWW. See?
7. Einstein (Albert). Albert Brooks changed his name from Albert Einstein (brother of Bob Einstein, aka Super Dave Osbourne). Little known fact, Enrico Fermi was known as Super Enrico Fermi. Possibly. It’s not Michael Douglas/Michael Keaton!
8. Terminator. James Cameron… and you can then get the rest of this weird story.
9. I’se the B’y. Sally Brown, Liza - up to her knees in gravel, Builds the boat, catches the fish, kissed her in the corner, cake and tea for supper, Old Sam. Tres cool photo.
10. How I Met Your Mother. They shot the scene revealing “how I met your mother” in season 1. While the finale was almost universally panned, that scene with the yellow umbrella was pretty cool.
11. Bear. Yogi Berra (Yogi Bear), Winnie Cooper (Winnie the Pooh Bear), Grills (Bear Grylls) and Rupert Grint (Rupert Bear).
12. Jesse James. The Trickster is a DC supervillain whose alter ego is James Jesse, voiced by Mark Hamill. Reverse James Jesse to get Jesse James
13. Sicily. Both the Isle of Man and Sicily have this symbol (called a Triskelion) on their flag. How weird. Sicily has way more people though.
14. Glee. Glee, and Freaks and Geeks are set at William McKinley High School. Take the word Geeks and insert an L and you get Gleeks: fans of the TV show Glee.
15. Nigeria. The singer Sade is actually Helen Folasade Adu, born in Nigeria.
16. Mambo No. 5.: Women mentioned in the song (first names): Monica Lewinsky, Erica Ehm, Rita Ora, Tina Fey, Sandra Bullock, Mary Pratt, Jessica Alba
17. Fast and the Furious (The). The naming convention of The Fast and the Furious (2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast & Furious, Fast 5, Furious 7 and the upcoming Fast and Furious 9.)
18. Desmond (Viola). On Canada’s $10 bill – her story of civil disobedience and leadership was in Halifax and similar to Rosa Parks, but 9 years earlier. #BlackLivesMatter (end of story).
19. Valderrama (Wilmer). The pics are Bananarama, Dollarama, Smellorama and Futurama. Fez (actually F.E.S. for Foreign Exchange Student) from That 70s Show never reveals his country of origin (but apparently, he can speak Dutch).
20. Anchovy
21. Obama (Barack). 1001 Arabian Knights, The Number 23 (Jim Carrey), 13 from House, Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, Lafleur was 10 and Orr was 4. Sqrt (1001+23) = 32. 32 /(13-5) = 4. 4 + (10 x 4) = 44. Obama is president 44.
22. Runcible. Edward Lear created many silly words, but from The Owl and the Pussycat, most notably was “which they ate with a runcible spoon”.
23. Xena, Warrior Princess. She’s not part of the ancient mythos.
24. Questlove (?uestlove). Co-bandleader from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
25. Yale.
26. Ulaanbaatar. Capital of Mongolia moved around a lot, just like Genghis Kahn (sorry that’s spelled KHAN!)
