Pop Culture Quiz

My quiz is there again! The last time you were quite quick at guessing, so for a start I won't give you any further hints. Let's see what you can make of this:

The scenery portrayed was inspired by the beginning of the music video to the song "911" by Lady Gaga. Maybe that was a bit to obscure this time.

My next quiz entry is my re-interpretation of a piece of naive art. Janina was so kind to provide her otherwise discharged monkey. Let's see, if someone can name the painter of the original.

Very good, Eggy! I wasn't sure, if I came close enough.

The original is called "Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird". But in my version there is no hummingbird at all and it's generally quite a free interpretation to begin with, so the exact title doesn't matter that much.

Maybe at some point you could draw a new drumless monkey for the animal section? From Pippi Longstocking to Night at the Museum, monkeys occur more often than one would think at first glance.

Like with the Town Musicians of Bremen, I didn't need any additional editing this time. So here's another fabulous entry:

Oh, a participant!

The direction isn't bad. As an American it might be a bit difficult, because the drawing is based on a German children's book. As the members here on the forum are mainly from Central Europe, too international topics didn't resonate well in the past.

That term seems to refer to a whole genre rather than a specific work. And as it's also British instead of German: no. But the era is roughly correct.

No, it's supposed to be the Struwwelpeter.

Probably it's not so well-known in the US ...

This is an actress singing "Happy Birthday" for an American statesman. Who knows her?

You're right!

Janina just introduced a new found footage effect. When I saw her footage I immediately got the impression thet she didn't wait long enough and missed a critical detail and it seems I was right. If you look closely, you can make out a mysterious creature only a few moments later:

I think this creatures has been spotted before, but somehow I cannot recall its name. Who can?
