2:05 Paul Anka mentions that he will be working with the Count Basie Orchestra in July 1964 at Freedomland USA, a Bronx NY Disneyland-like amusement park that closed later that year. Never knew Anka sang with Basie...that's quite an accomplishment for the young lad in '64 and would have been worth the price of admission to see. Just another indication that this guy was a cut above most of his peers - just as he is at playing this game.

Anka was fully booked with gigs during this period and didn't need to appear on a game show that he didn't like and wasn't getting paid, if that was the case. He also wouldn't spend the time and effort to be damn good at it - one of the best celebrities ever - if he didn't enjoy it. lol You are clueless.

Specks is plural of speck. Frank is a proper noun because it is a person's name. Franks is plural of frank, as in frankfurter. In this instance, franks should not have been accepted.

[@lindavangalder879]

@@missurl4191 But Frank can also be a transitive verb. Frankfurters are made entirely with pork, and wieners are a mixture of pork and beef. And as the names might imply, frankfurters originated in Frankfurt and wieners from Vienna. To make things even more confusing: in the U.S., “franks” tend to be all beef.
