    The silver level is "Office Theme"
    The gold level is "World of Max", the song that concludes season one. I must have played that round at least 30 times before I won that darn decal.

    The bronze is "I've Been Working on the Railroad". Or something.

    And his name is Superball because he's the "bouncer" of the White House, to make sure people who are authorized to get in can get in.

    Sorry to bring this topic up again, but I've been listening to the bronze level, and I can't figure out what it is. It's not I've Been Working on the Railroad, that's the mandatory level.

    Yeah, I got it the first time I heard it too.

    ...Does this mean I'm smarter than the general public?

    He just says his name is Superball because he's "a bouncer," which is only funny if you know what a super ball is.

    But how can you not know what a superball is? Every kid has had one at some point.

    That's kind of a broad statement. I had a few, but I knew them as bouncy balls, so there's a regional factor as well.

    That's what I've always called them too. I didn't even know about "super balls" as an alternative term until this thread, actually (and thank goodness I found out -- that joke from 104 flew so far over my head I kept wondering what the heck I'd missed). So it depends. *shrug*

    Oh maaaan, I get it now. Yeah, if he was called Bouncyball, I woulda got it too, but yeah that woulda been crap lol.

    I've never heard anyone call them "super balls" before, but I got it the first time I heard it too. I just thought "hey, balls are bouncy," so a super ball must be... really bouncy?
    I dunno. I just knew I got it. XD

    He's a bouncer, so if you know what THAT means, then you'll get the joke.

    Well excuse us for speaking a different dialect to you, but we never called them "super balls".

    Thanks for explaining Emily, that had been digging at me too.

    I believe that SuperBall is the trademark name of small rubber bouncy balls.
