I need more pop culture characters
6Give me the name of a person or character from some sort of pop culture media (using that term loosely). It can be Alex Trebek or Napoleon Bonaparte or Mr. Clean, whatever you want. Nothing lame or political or meh-related, try to think outside the box!
I also need a well-known song. Any genre, any time period. This not the time to bring up your obscure band no one has heard of, the song should be comparatively as recognizable as the pop culture characters (doesn’t matter if you like the song or not).
I have chosen Humphrey the Bear and Rainy Days and Mondays by The Carpenters.
I promise this is going somewhere and has absolutely nothing to do with Hunger Games. (That isn’t a misdirect; it really doesn’t.) You have until Monday whenever I remember about this.

@sammydog01 For a moment that had me thinking of Winky Dink and believing you’re significantly older than presumed. (No, I’m not old enough for Winky Dink either.)
@cinoclav I had to look up Winky Dink. I’m not quite that old- Captain Kangaroo was my TV friend. And Mr. Green Jeans.
@sammydog01 Mine too, and Captain Noah. I’m okay with saying I’m now 49. My mother used to tell me about Winky Dink.
@cinoclav @sammydog01 me too. I’m 60, almost 61. WTF!!
@cinoclav @sammydog01
Try this a second time. The first time the result was so bad it had to be deleted.
/youtube Winky Dink and You
@cinoclav @sammydog01 guess I’m too old for Captain Noah, had to look him up too!
