Subject: Missing Persons Quiz - with hints
Some hints:
3. is by Weird Al.
6. is also by Weird Al, and the name is the eponymous hero originally by Prokoviev. Even more of a clue: it wasn't the wolf!
9. is Alan Sherman, to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel" in his tune regarding a dislike for a type of insect
10. is Jake Thackray
All of these come from comic or parody songs (except for #6, which is a different sort of Weird Al send-up) - if you can name the song and performer then great - but otherwise, please fill in the missing person:
1. Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot Taoist - from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milkcart in the West Taoist - from Benny Hill's Ernie
3. I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployedBobo - From Yoda by Weird Al
4. Nellie the elephant packed her trunk Taoist
5. It's worse than that, he's dead Jim Taoist - from Star Trekkin by the Firm
6. ***** did not answer, for after all, it was a rhetorical question
7. Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable FBVP - from The Philosopher's Song by Monty Python
8. Ho, ho f***ing ho, what a crock of s**t
We all work for Santa Claus, we've had enough we quit Taoist - from Ho, Ho F***ing Ho by Kevin Bloody Wilson
9. Ringo is the one with the drums
The others all play with him
It shows you what a boy can become
Without a sense of rhythm Bobo - I Hate The Beatles by Alan Sherman
...and a tricky one to finish with:
10. She was naked, she was cast in bronze, in bronze
Standing in the lake amid corporation swans
He was millstone grit, he was Sir Robert WalpoleBobo - From The Statues by Jake Thackray
Enjoy

..if I'd continued the quote, you might have:
"Coz we do all the f***ing work while he stars in the show
Stick that reindeer up your a**e, Ho, Ho F***ing Ho!"

I'm more familiar with his other santa song (Where's me f**kin bike)!
Here's a test, try to find a KBW lyric that doesn't require ***s ;)

Oy ***** ***** you c**t
...more *s than letters!
to rise to the challenge...
'10" Long' would only require one word *'d (assuming the word "shit" is OK)
er..
'It Was Over' would only requre two (assuming "Come in me pants" is OK)
Amazing Grass - would "Shitfaced" need to be *d?
...hold on a sec, he says "I'm stoned, I'm wrecked, I'm f****d". Damn.
Got it! "Double-Decker Dog"... nope, there a c**t in there, too...
OK, I give up

#9 is Ringo (Starr)

Bumped back to the top to ask if Phil could please verify my last answer.

Yes it is. Isn't that another Beatles song?
No need for bumping, it's just that I don't get much time to check the boards at the weekends.

Yesterday was a hard day's night, the night before was something when Eleanor Rigby and I needed help to come together in the rain in Penny Lane, she said she said "I feel fine" so instead of no reply I said "I'll cry instead"...
Your starter for ten: how many Beatles' songs are listed above?
