woodpeckers don't use ZipCars.

Actually, I had a woodpecker problem in Virginia; the house was EIFS (fake stucco made of styrofoam), and woodpeckers will chomp right through that to get to the 2x4s underneath. I don't imagine that's an issue with brick, though. Ow, my beak.

The "Woody Woodpecker Song", which became a hit record apart from the Walter Lantz cartoons, is a direct rip-off the transitional episode leading to the finale of Howard Hanson's Symphony Number 2, sometimes called the "Interlochen Song". The brass section plays a ta-da-ta-DAH-da theme a few times before the serene music played by the strings enters.

I'm in my early 20s and I caught that reference right away.

Woody's long since gone from "old" to "classic". The last of the original series was made in 1972 - a year after I was born - yet Woody was a staple of my childhood. I don't think anyone here was born pre-WWII, so we're all in the same boat...

I've gotta think that anyone who says "Woody who?" would also say "Abbott and who?"
