Keith had to sing it several times, before he got a count of the phrase he was confident in. After one attempt, he came up with an answer of five, to which Cedric replied "That's not a number. That's not one of the choices."

BTW, Cedric couldn't just keep quiet while Keith was trying to work it out in song; instead, he accompanied Keith in a mumbling sort of harmony. I wish someone would tell him that he doesn't have to make every contemplation of a question into a running comedy routine.

Keith came out in '70s attire - I wonder if the show provided the outfits or if they were asked to find something decade-appropriate.

This was amusing to watch - he ran through the song several times but miscounted - once he came up with "3" and once with "5" but neither of those was a choice.

I might have bit on "Rockaway Beach", but had I not done so I would have used a JTQ.

JTQ questions 5 and 6, ATA question 8.
