Actually Wiki gives it as 39% Answers 31% Strategies says 30%

I'm going to give you that one having done a bit of googling.

I had always understood it to be a reference to the pre-fab houses built in the UK after the war (which were made from identical parts and then painted different colours), but it seems it was written in the USA, so maybe I should have checked a bit more first

I'll take that. It's either 30% or 31% (a little margin for error).

The booby trap (and probably where the person who wrote the Wiki article got their source) was that Vangelis did a piece of music called "Albedo 0.39" (or 39%) but obviously nobody else has heard it!

Correct!! I'm amazed that took so long!

There will now be a short musical interlude (inter-lewd?! ) whilst I compile the results...

Dennis is a menace
With his "Anyone for tennis?"
And he'd beseech me to come keep the score
And Maude said, "Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored"
I really can't stand it anymore...

I'm going...out to dinner
With a gorgeous singer
To a little place I found
Down by the key

Her name is Patricia
She calls herself delicia
And the reason isn't
Very hard to see

She said, God made her a sinner
Just to keep fat men thinner
As they tumble down in heaps
Before her feet

They hang around in groups
Like battle weary troops
One can often see them
Queue right down the street

You see, Patricia Or Delicia
Not only is a singer
She also removes all her clothing

For Patricia
Is the best stripper in town...

And with a swing of her hips
She started to strip
To tremendous applause
She took of her drawers

And with a lick of her lips
She undid all her clips
And threw it all in the air
And everybody stared

And as the last piece of clothing
Fell to the floor
The police were banging on the door
On a Saturday night
In 1924

Take it away boys...

Well, Patricia was arrested
And everyone detested
The terrible manner in which
she was exposed

Later on in court
where everyone thought
A summer's run in jail
would be proposed..

But the judge said Patricia
Or may I say Delicia
The facts of this case lie before me
(knock, knock, knock)
Case dismissed...
This girl was in her working clothes...

And with a swing of her hips
She started to strip
To tremendous applause
She took of her drawers

And with a lick of her lips
She undid all her clips
Threw it all in the air
And everybody stared

And as the last piece of clothing
Fell to the floor
The police were yelling out for more (more)
On a Saturday night
In 1924
