Can you fill in the missing lyrics to The Beverly Hillbillies theme song?
Words, that is…lines…text…libretto.
A good TV theme song needs to succinctly set up the premise of the show and be catchy enough to stick in viewers’ heads long after the end credits. One theme song that gives an entire pilot episode’s worth of plot in one song, all while set to a rousing bluegrass banjo, is the tune for The Beverly Hillbillies.
The song about a man named Jed who strikes oil while out hunting is a Sixties classic. But how well do you remember all the lines, from the beginning and end credits, in this hillbilly ditty? Try to fill in the missing lyrics in this quiz!

''You got 15 out of 16'' ----You struck gold! Great job! It was actually 16 that I got right, but the page moved when I clicked on 16. Clicked on Alright, instead of Y'hear.
How could I miss? Those lyrics are INGRAINED in my soul.

16/16 PIECE O' JOHNNY CAKE!* (Definitely not Elly's marble cake!) One of my favorite shows, especially the Full Color seasons (5 to 9)! Speaking of which, MeTV I'm still annoyed that you only broadcast the Black and Whites during their Sunday marathon at the beginning of the summer!
That was "...piiii TEE full, piiii TEE full...!" No possum shanks and gopher gravy for you!
________
* "Johnny Cake" is a sweet corn bread, sometimes made with sweet corn in the batter, other times baked with thin wedges or light sprinkles of cheese melted on top!

The Beverly hillbillies & Green acres are the best. They never fail to make me laugh! 🤣 The TV shows that are on now are complete crap. Way too much taking the Lords name in vain and too much cursing in general. Very unnecessary.
Literally laugh out loud at this show. Love it. So funny, good values.
16/16 ciome back.
I got 14 out of 16
16/16. I should celebrate with a Jethro-sized bowl of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. (No possum for me, thanks.)
The Beverly Hillbillies was my favorite TV comedy when I was a child. I still laugh a lot whenever I watch it. Great clean humor...
EASY ! 16/16
