| Liberace Cooks: A Cookbook!, Liberace Museum |
Google might make this contest entirely too easy, but who cares. The first person to post all the correct answers in the comments -- or the most entertaining non-answers, to be determined solely by me -- gets one hell of a prize: A brand-new, spiral-bound copy of Liberace Cooks, purchased at the world-famous Liberace Museum in Las Vegas, still in its original shrink-wrapping! It's the ultimate combination of food and musical talent!
Ready, set? Name that food tune!
1) What was the name of the spice in the 1969 song hit from Derek?
2) Two different pop acts recorded songs called "Cherry Pie" and had hits exactly 30 years apart. Who recorded the songs and in what years?
3) What 1957 song hit by Patti Page asked "if you like the taste of a lobster stew...?"
4) Fats Domino charted at #30 in 1962 with this song about "crawfish pie" and "file gumbo."
5) This 1974 song by Abba wasn't one of their biggest hits, but it was awfully sweet.
6) Who recorded the 1963 song "Hot Pastrami with Mashed Potatoes?"
7) Al Hirt had a sugary hit with this jazzy song in 1964.
8) More people remember this 1962 hit song -- recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary -- as a long-running commercial jingle than a jukebox hit.
9) A 1960s Saturday afternoon cartoon series based on a comic book was the inspiration for the "band" that had a surprising #1 song hit in 1969. Name the song and the musical act that recorded it.
10) The Chordettes had a #2 hit with this "sticky" song in 1958.

jjskck: If I haven't heard from Paul by 4 p.m. today, you get the cookbook. The photo of "Lee" in his garish dining room (wearing a velvet Nehru jacket) has to be seen to be believed.
Charles, I don't really expect anything. Paul worked a lot harder than I did. Besides, now that the Liberace cookbook is off the table, what else is there really?
Congratulations, Paul. You win the book. Contact me at charles.ferruzza@pitch.com. And jjskck -- your brilliance deserves something too. I'm still thinking.
