Firefly. After a LONG break while "grunge" was running rampant across American radio, Ronni and Tony finally decided to reform the band in 1996 and released "Firefly." Then, with just a handful of shows under their belts in Norway and Japan, Harnell left TNT to continue work with his solo project Westworld.



2005 saw the release of one of the band's most triumphant efforts, "All The Way To The Sun." Deciding to test some new waters, the album contained a cover version of an all time classic. What was the song?

TNT Trivia Challenge


What A Wonderful World. The band's original idea was to do something totally out of left field. They had never recorded a cover before and figured people would expect them to do something on the lines of a "British Pop" kind of thing. Instead, they reached way back into the archives and decided on the Louis Armstrong classic "What A Wonderful World."
