Barry meets the Questionnaire, a character in the Yellow Submarine Sandwich film.
Questionnaire is a 1965 song by The Rutles released on Rutle Sole. It was re-released on The Rutles Burder Mabies, re-recorded for Tragical History Tour (but sounded the exact same as the 1965 version).
The song is perhaps most notable for its featuring role in the Yellow Submarine Sandwich film, where a character was created to match the song (Henry Jessica Thighgap Esq.). The Questionnaire is a charismatic character who brings a sense of comedy to the film, and is often seen along side Barry Wom. "Questionaire" was left off of the film's 1969 soundtrack but included in the "Songtrack" from 1999.

The track was also featured in 1996 on the Archaeology collection.
Lyrics[]
Hey mister man in the street - excuse me
Do you have a few moments to spare? Oh yeah...
Don't worry, I'm not trying to sell you anything you wouldn't want
I'm just a questionnaire...
Tell me what you think about this low-fat diet shampoo
Do you think it's Crunchy, Half-Cruncy, or Not Crunchy at all?
Put a tick in the appropriate box - there's nothing to it...
Yes/No/Don't Know - I Don't Care
I'm only a Questionnaire, only a Questionnaire...
Please mister man in the street - believe me
I'm only doing my job and I need to know
everything about you, take it easy, all you gotta do
Is answer 'yes' or 'no'...
Tell me what think about the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Do you think there's one True God, a False God, or No God at all?
Put a tick in the appropriate box - there's nothing to it...
Yes/No/Don't Know - I Don't Care
I'm only a Questionnaire...
Yes/No/Don't Know - I Don't Care
I'm only a Questionnaire, only a Questionnaire...
...Now can you
Tell me what you think about how easy it can be to buy a gun?
Do you think it's Crazy, Half Crazy, or Not Crazy at all?
Put a tick in the appropriate box...
