Stan Trivia Quiz

Answer: two

Stan mentions in the first verse that he sent two letters in Autumn to Eminem, but he suspected the post office wasn't able to read the addresses due to his sloppy handwriting. Stan brings this up later in the third verse when he talks about how he knows Eminem got the last two letters, because he made sure he wrote the addresses carefully to make them perfectly legible.

Answer: Bonnie

Stan makes this statement as a sign of respect for Eminem. This is a reference to one of Eminem's other songs, "'97 Bonnie and Clyde", where Eminem refers to his daughter Hailie as Bonnie and himself as Clyde, signifying a close bond between the two of them.

Answer: 3hree6ix5ive

Eminem and Skam came together to create "3hree6ix5ive" (alternate titles include "3hree 6ix 5ive", "Three Six Five", and "ThreeSixFive") back in 1998 before Eminem was even famous. It's sometimes incorrectly titled "Old World Disorder", but that's actually just the group that Skam was in.

Answer: True

Dido, who sings the chorus in "Stan", acts as Stan's pregnant girlfriend in the music video. The music video starts off with Dido speaking to Stan, calling him Stanley, which aggravates him and shows viewers a first look at Stan's temper.

Answer: Matthew

Matthew is Stan's six year-old brother, who is also a huge fan of Eminem's music. Matthew is shown in multiple scenes throughout the video. But, perhaps the most notable scene he's in is at the end of the video at Stan's grave. Matthew is at the grave with a mourning woman, presumably their mother, and he reveals that he's dyed his hair blonde, foretelling that he'll end up like his brother.

Answer: all of these are revealed

The music video manages to resolve many questions that can't be answered based on only the lyrics. The music video reveals that Eminem missed Stan at his concert because a woman tried to break through security and run at Eminem frantically, which led to Eminem being led off by security.

It's also seen that Stan meets Eminem at an album signing with his brother Matthew. Also, it's shown that the event that makes Stan blow up and, in turn, tie up his girlfriend and lock her in the trunk, was when she's found snooping in the basement. Stan is shown catching his girlfriend looking at his private area dedicated to Eminem, specifically a picture of Stan and Eminem, where the image of Eminem is pasted over Dido.

Answer: My Name Is

"I just drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?" are the almost identical lyrics used in Eminem's single "My Name Is" from his album "The Slim Shady LP". Stan uses this line as if to mock Eminem.

Answer: cap

In the last verse, Eminem tells that he's sending an autographed Starter brand cap for Matthew. This is to help make up for how Eminem didn't give Matthew an autograph even after he and Stan waited outside in freezing cold weather for four hours after a concert to get one.

Answer: heard about it on the news

At the end of the final verse, Eminem brings up how he doesn't want Stan to just blow up and things to turn out badly for him. He goes on to talk about how he heard about what happened to Stan on the news a couple weeks ago, but he fails to realize that it was in fact Stan until the very end of the song.

Answer: Elton John

After receiving a lot of criticism for Eminem's lyrics for being hateful towards homosexuals, Eminem performed at the 2001 Grammys with openly gay singer Elton John, in which John sang the chorus. The performance ended with Eminem and Elton John giving each other a hug and lifting their hands up together almost triumphantly.
