Cynthia Ridgeway of Stanwood managed to stump the Paul Shaffer Band on CBS’ “The Late Show With David Letterman” on Thursday.
“Stump the Band” is a segment the talk show host does occasionally in which guests try to stump the band with an obscure musical favorite. Ridgeway, who told Letterman she was retired from a large telephone company, asked the band members if they knew the song “Peeky, Seeky Porcupine.”
Guitarist Will Lee raised his hand, pretended he knew the song and sang: “Peeky Seeky Porcupine, hide and seek and you may find, Cupid’s quill in your behind, Quill you be my Valentine.”
Nice song, but not the one Ridgeway had in mind. She won dinner for two at a nice restaurant.
