"Chewy Chewy"
13. This Ray Stevens tune was later covered by then-future Texas gubernatorial candiate Kinky Friedman.

"The Name Game"
15. Listen while I play play play, my _____ _________
"Green Tambourine"
16. The biggest U.S. hit from 1910 Fruitgum Company.
"Simon Says"
17. This song was performed in the first sketch of the first episode of The Muppet Show recorded.
"Mahna Mahna"
18. Written by Robert Charles Guidry, this tune was most famously recorded by the group often credited with the first "Rock and Roll" hit.

"Bony Moronie"
24. The Ramones did a cover of the song "Indian Giver" by a band that had also sang this song, which was covered frequently by a band called The Artistics (but you probably know them as a much more familiar band they became later.
"1-2-3 Red Light"
BONUS (WORTH FIVE POINTS):
What do all these songs have in common?
Putting the first few titles into Google finds the third link is an album called "Goofy Greats" that has this entire list in order. Apparently it is an old vinyl LP from K-Tel in the 70's and not the same as a more current CD by the same name. Helped to verify my answers!
If that ain't it then I got nuthin'.

Throwing snoopy red baron itsy bitsy bread butter into google gets me to this website:TheCalvinator24 wrote:BONUS (WORTH FIVE POINTS):

http://fudgeland.blogspot.com/2006/06/goofy-greats.html
which has a list of a bunch of songs on a record called Goofy Greats. A great many of these songs, but not quite all - nashville cats is missing for example.
More oddly, in the google blurb, the songs are listed in the order you ask about them, but when I go to the website, they're in a different order.
But if I throw "Nashville" into the google search, the #2 result gets me to this website:
http://zydecofish.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Which, if you scroll down, has these songs in this order. Also it allows me to fill in a few of the ones I'm missing, and prompts me to correct my Jewel Akens from "Georgie Porgie" (which was on the first website) to "The Birds and the Bees" which is on this one
So I guess the bonus answer is that they were all on a record called "Goofy Greats" (though there seems to be more than one version of this record, not all of which have all these songs on it)

Re: WEDNESDAY 11/14 QoD

It's clear from the answer to the bonus question that the answer you wanted was Mahna Mahna, from the Juliet Prowse episode. But the first episode recorded was the one with Connie Stevens, according to these episode guides:TheCalvinator24 wrote:17. This song was performed in the first sketch of the first episode of The Muppet Show recorded.
Juliet Prowse - Episode 1
Taping Dates: January 29-February 1, 1976
Connie Stevens - Episode 2
Taping Dates: January 19-21, 30 1976 and February 1, 1976.
It's funny, I was too lazy to try to find the answer to the Bonus by googling, but I was thinking to myself that of the songs I recognized, half of them I only knew from old KTEL commercials!
