I don't know some of these but if you know one, write it down. Or if you want to know something about him write it down too. Some of these migh not have an answer but ...

If my memory serves me right, John's favorite episode of TC was "Up In The Air", I know his favorite band was the Beatles but he was a fan of the band Chumbawamba as well. One of his favorite songs was from Chumbawamba, "Tubthumping", i read it in an inteview Amy Yasbeck did for USA Today (it has also been one of my favorites for a long time!! Yay, i like something John likes, woohoo). LMAO!! Here are the lyrics, if your intrested!!
This is such a John song... in the article i read, Amy YAsbeck said "it was like his anthem!!!" HAHAHAHAHA!!! :lol: :happyface :wave: :D


Tubthumping- Chumbawamba...

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Kissing the night away
Kissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

"Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy


Danny Boy..."

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Kissing the night away
Kissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

"Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour..."

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing-chorus repeats

Episode of TC: He liked doing "Up in the Air"
Episode of 8SR: not sure
Store: not sure

p.s. Tub Thumping was our school's sports anthem :lol:

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken-- if you look in the early episodes of TC from the 70s, you can see an Elton John poster on the wall next to the bedroom door of Jack's room...maybe it was also from John's request? :) I love Elton John! He was very big in the 70's, so it's not too far off to guess John may have been a fan.

John liked Laverne and Shirley too? I never knew that till now. That's pretty
cool. I knew he liked Happy Days. Blue as one of his favorite colors, that doesn't surprise me. He looks great in blue. It brings out his eyes.

p.s. Tub Thumping was our school's sports anthem :lol:

That is awesome... it is a great song!! Everytime i hear it i think of John, also when I hear "In My Life" both of them are awesome songs!!

You are right, he did have a Elton John poster i believe.( I love Elton As well, so do my mom and grandma)!!

I would love to see that survey he did, do you know what site to go to to see it by any chance?

Yeah, it definately does :drool: I also like him in black! :)

I think I recall Laverne and Shirley as being one of his favs...Fleet posted something out of a book where John gave his favorite t.v. shows and I think that was one of them.

Oh, the question that most of us can't make out says something about "when did you ___ acting?" I can't figure out that word. The answer is "Last night and then again this morning"

Yeah, that's what I got too. When I first read it though, I thought it said "When were you last active?" and then he put "Last night and then again this morning". My first thoughts were..WHOA..JOHN YOU LITTLE BEAST. :rofl:

Oh, the question that most of us can't make out says something about "when did you ___ acting?" I can't figure out that word. The answer is "Last night and then again this morning"

I don't remember entirely, but I think it was once sold on eBay, and I just saved the picture. There's a lot of interesting things on there that people sell signed by John. I once found a check that was signed by him up for auction on eBay.

Check out this signed card I found on eBay once: :rofl:

it says: Date:No thanks. A handshake will suffice.
