There are two questions in today’s Brady Brain Game, and they both have to do with the show’s opening theme song. The “rule” is that you get to watch the video clip once before answering the two questions, so do that now. (And remember, a Brady never breaks a rule.) Here’s the first-season version:

And now, your two questions:

1. Which is the only Brady child specifically referred to in the song’s lyrics?

2. What’s the sum total of all the numbers mentioned in the song’s lyrics?

HERE is the solution.

  6. Since you italicized the word numbers I came up with ten.

    THREE girls, THREE boys, FOUR men.
    A man and A… lady don’t specify a number, but singular rather than plural.

  7. True, BassMan, but there are two mentions of the number “one” in the lyrics as well:

    “…the youngest one in curls” and “…’til the one day when the lady met this fellow”

    That’s where the extra 2 come in.

  8. Oh, damn. No arguing that one I guess.

  9. Ha, I got them both right too. and I didn’t listen to it either. Does the fact that I’m 19 make that pathetic?

  10. Got them right.
    I did listen to it – but I didn’t need to.

  12. My work internet does not allow me to view videos but somehow I still got both answers right. I just sang the whole song in my head and counted. Way too much useless info floating around in there.
