14/14.
I only got 9 right, but by golly that was fun!
14/14. I remember the song from the Andy Griffith Show album. Still play it. I love Elly’s Theme and the Mayberry March. Nothing can nor ever will beat this show.

12/14. Not too bad, considering that it has been ages since I heard the lyrics.
I got 10/14. I’ve heard Andy sing it but never really paid close attention.
I missed three!
11/14 Ugh I need to practice
14/14 Gotta love Andy!!!

In guessing, I just picked the answer that would sound true to Mayberry folks. Did better than I thought I would. “ Purty Lucky, I reckon.”

I ran when shoulda rushed, ambled when I shoulda wandered and did the day instead of the time. However, I bested my score by one from 13 months ago.
10/14! and is it a really fair quiz when the lyrics are never really sung? I mean Leave It To Beaver has lyrics, but you NEVER heard them!
I've got a whole list of TV show themes that are thought of as instrumentals but that do have lyrics. Shows like "Peter Gunn", "Hogan's Heroes", and even Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show". TAGS is on the list but probably shouldn't be, since so many people at least know about the words even if they can't quote all of them.
12/14. Thought this seemed familiar.
