17 out of 18 Didn't know the Hully Gully was real.
16/18; missed #6 and #9 - had to guess on several of these and I am happy with my score.
Remember my older brother had bought a Freddie and the Dreamers album, and on the back was the instructions on how to do the "Freddie".
18/18. Regarding No. 8 The Jerk was a song by The Larks in 1964. Cool Jerk was a song by The Capitols in 1966
You're good ! ! !
9/18. I'm a little too young to remember most of these, and they've long since vanished from our collective consciousness, save for the Watusi.
