Question
Hi Mel, I apologize for my English, I'm Italian and have to improve it. I have a question to ask you. Which is the song in the episode 29 of season 3 (Commencement) when Kelly, Brenda and Donna (and other girls) started singing a song about Brandon??!!Hope u could help me. Thanks in advance!

Answer
Hi Fabrizio,

Your English is just fine.  The song Kelly, Brenda, and Donna sing in humorous dedication to Brandon during the Senior Breakfast is a remake/mockery of the opening theme song to "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", an American sitcom that ran from 1959-1963.  It focused quite a bit on the love pursuits of main character, Dobie, a teenage boy, and was also made into a comic book.

The original lyrics are as follows:

Dobie, wants a little cutie,
Dobie, wants a little beauty,
Dobie wants a gal to call his own

Any size, any style, any eyes, any smile,
Any Jean, any Jane, any Joan.

Oh Dobie, wants a girl who is dreamy,
Dobie, wants a girl who's creamy,
Dobie, wants a girl to call his own.

Is she blond, is she tall, is she dark, is
She small, Is she any kinda dreamboat at all

No matter, he's hers and hers alone.


Thanks for the question!

All the best,

Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
