name that naughty retro song
Awhile ago I heard a recent song in the style (more or less) of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". All I remember of the words is that "panties drop" occurs many times. I think the performer had a Spanish name. Is that enough clues? —Tamfang (talk) 02:07, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * "Candyman"? ---Sluzzelin talk  02:10, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep. —Tamfang (talk) 00:12, 3 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Wait, the answer to your question (the sentence ending in a question mark) is: I hope so. ---Sluzzelin talk  03:48, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Quite. —Tamfang (talk) 00:12, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Homer Simpson
What is the ancestry of Homer Simpson and how many strands of hair are on the top of his head? --Miexloep (talk) 18:39, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Check the biography section of this for the answer to the first part of your question. I don't know if the number of hairs is mentioned or not. Someone else may be able to get that one for you. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 18:58, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you could search for pictures of Homer. You can count the strands on his head yourself.  -- Jayron  32  19:48, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I counted two strands of hair on Homer. --Miexloep (talk) 19:51, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it is tricky . There are two on top but the bit of hair that goes from ear to ear around the back of his head and looks like a series of M's (as in Matt G) might count as one or it might be more. I can't remember if I've ever read a definitive number. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 20:00, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * The Stonecutter oath includes a penalty of having the head "plucked of all but three hairs". Matt Deres (talk) 13:22, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I remember his M falling or being plucked off (or both) as a single hair, but can't remember the episode(s) or context(s) offhand. Three seems about right. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:55, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I definitely remember an amazed Milhouse's eyebrows falling off. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:03, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Here's his evolutionary history. Even his greatest grandfather was yellow. Not sure how canonical this is. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:54, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
