  1. Here's one that's a little older:

     

    " There's nothing quite as grotesque as a man at his desk

    Looking outside at the sun;

    Shirts made of silk and a diet of milk,

    Maybe he thinks he has fun.

    I've got the vagabond itch,

    Guess I'll never get rich, Ho-Hum..."

     

    Singer and movie?

  2. Correct. I thought that title was funnier...Can you imagine Sister Maria howling at the moon and singing while turning into wolfwoman ?...Your thread, Gip.

  4. I like the stooges and I have their complete set of shorts which I bought from Amazon...

     

    Next:

     

    This musician, who couldn't read music, composed a song while looking out an airplane window on a flight to the west coast. The song was later used as the theme music in a movie from the seventies.

     

    Name the song, the musician, and the movie...

  5. On October 12, 1949, the Three Stooges made a pilot film at ABC for what was to be a weekly television comedy show called "Jerks Of All Trades". One of the theme songs was "Crazy People", a segment of which can be heard after Larry introduces himself. Unfortunately, the show never aired because Columbia Pictures threatened them with a lawsuit, thinking the show might compete with their movie shorts.

     

    Here's "Crazy People" by the Boswell Sisters:

     

     

    Here's part 1 and 2 of the unaired pilot for "Jerks Of All Trade". You can barely recognize the song after Larry introduces himself. In part 2, that's Joe Kearns, Mr. Wilson from "Dennis The Menace", trying to sell the stooges a pressure cooker....

  6. Must be "The Bat" (1926) and "The Bat Whispers"(1930), both directed by Roland West and adapted from the classic novel, "The Bat" , by Mary Roberts Rhinehart....I read her novel, "The Afterhouse", when I was in high school. It has pretty much the same plot, except the killer has an axe and the story happens on a ship...
