The game's question
One clue, then the next. As soon as the pair comes into view, you’ve got it.
In the early 1950s, one comedy team packed movie theaters. One of them could sing; the other kept the whole audience laughing. In 1952, theater owners named them the No. 1 box-office stars of the year. A few years later, the singer had a No. 1 record of his own: “Memories Are Made of This,” in 1956. Who were they?
- Abbott and Costello
- Martin and Lewis
- Laurel and Hardy
Need a hint?
Hum a few bars of “Memories Are Made of This”—the singer’s name often comes with the tune. His last name starts like the month of March. His partner’s first name was Jerry.
See the answer
Answer: Martin and Lewis—Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, No. 1 at the box office in 1952.
