This was a bit too much fun! Is Rechal still around? I'd love to hear the four questions in Dr Seuss style (maybe use them next Seder?)

Susan, Harry did write 40,000 pound of Bananas, and while it is pretty funny, he had a bit of trouble with it, as it was based on a true incident. He ended up meeting with the guys widow, who told him the kids were hearing the song at school, etc. I think he ended setting up a scholarship for the kids to go to college. (Harry's eldest step-daughter told me this and I think I'm remembering right. It was so long ago.) But I'll bet the guy is a bit like Casey Jones in Scranton folklore.

My mom didn't like singing in the car, claimedit made the driver sleepy. My dad and I would sing together when she wasn't there. She would just sing lines from pop songs or show tunes to emphasize her points, which got a bit annoying...

I also remember my middle brother, on summer nights, would push a toe on each of my feet, as if I were a juke box, and request song after song after song.
