    Don't know if there is anything more to it than B-B-B-Bennie...
    • KayW 🤓5:34 · 2024-10-14T20:01:15.312Z
      What a b-b-b-b-blast! Now to get rid of all these earworms :D thanks!

        Third WAG worked.
        • MatthewL 🤓5:54 · 2024-10-14T21:35:46.437Z
          I guess spelling does count. Could've sworn it was Benny. Oh well --thanks for the puzzle, Chris!
          • Hector 🤓9:14 · 2024-10-14T22:38:07.611Z
            Are you from outside North America? If so, it was!
          • hoover 2s · 2024-10-14T23:12:06.318Z
            I'm waiting for the explanation. All I did was google "stuttering songs" and picked the one that started with B that wasn't already in the clues.
            • Chris Barbee constructor · 2024-10-15T00:43:52.409Z
              No explanation needed. Some will get it without googling. Was intended to be straightforward.
            • Darth 🤓9:54 · 2024-10-15T00:33:51.116Z
              B-b-b-bravo! :D

                There is actually a song called BBBBBB. Thought it had to be that, for awhile.
                • woozy 12:06 · 2024-10-15T04:34:25.885Z
                  Hmm..... Never heard of this song.
                  (Seriously. I haven't. )
                  • lbray53 2s · 2024-10-15T15:26:58.609Z
                    Got it with a guess. I was quite sure that all of the clues starting with B, including four in a row, would lead me to the answer. I guess they did help with my guess.
                    • Chris Barbee constructor · 2024-10-15T17:53:16.371Z
                      All of the "theme" grid answers start with a B
                    • DrTom 16:40 · 2024-10-15T15:50:37.054Z
                      Spelling does indeed count! In my mind it was always Benny - WRONG!
