    That was one of those answers chanted in school to the point where I still use the same order and intonation in thinking of them. :D

    What would an Australian expect upon requesting "a dog's eye and dead horse"?

    It is food related and it's rhyming slang.

    The word that springs to mind is Money, Money, Money, by Abba. Did the others use it?

    Really? Didn't see that coming. Plucked from the air. :D What are the other songs? I'll be back with a question in a minute.

    Edit: Yes, I know, stupid question, but I meant are the titles just 'Money' or is there more to it than that? :o

    Thanks for that. I love the Python song, and I'm sure I've heard it, but the Stones one I always thought was a Beatles one!

    This is a wild one but let's see just how old yiz really are? :D One of the world's oldest actresses, born in Hungary, is still alive (but not doing much kicking) at the age of 98 years. Who is she? I already know who will get it!

    I knew it was one of the Gabor sisters and I was trying to figure out which of them was still kicking. :)

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Meat pie and tomato sauce.

    Handing the baton to Into the Blue as he had the word "pie" even though it seems to have become designated a spoiler.

    An old goatee with a feather boa conjures up an interesting image.

    Further to the three sister Gabors: Eva starred in a (fairly) long-running American TV sit-com. Anybody remember the title?

    The eighth was Paul McGann.

    Paul McGann is my eighth doctor and one of my favourites.

    Green Acres! Loved it! Her answer to having to wash the dishes was just throwing them out the window! :D Often tempted to do that myself.

    No peeping now. Rudolf only got to join because someone wrote a song about him. He joined Comet, Donner, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Blitzen, Vixen, and …..Who’s missing?
