Last Lines of Songs Trivia Questions
1. Which smash hit from 1970 ended with this line? "I'm your fire at your desire."

From Quiz Famous Last Words - 1970s Edition

Answer: Venus

Dutch band Shocking Blue had their first and only U.S. number one with "Venus", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for one week in February of 1970. The song was written by the band's guitarist Robbie van Leeuwen and was an international success, topping the charts in nine countries. Somewhat ironically, "Venus" stalled at number three in their home country, where the group would enjoy the majority of their success. A 1986 version by the female pop group Bananarama was also extremely successful, reaching number one in several countries, including one week atop the Billboard Hot 100.

2. Which Beatles song ends with the line: "The love you take is equal to the love you make"?

From Quiz Timeless Last Lines: Classic Rock

Answer: "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" - Pink Floyd

This song was in part, a tribute to Syd Barret, the founding member of Pink Floyd. He reportedly was hanging around the studios where Pink Floyd was recording, and at first, no one recognized him.

It was a sad reunion for them, and it was also the last time Nick Mason, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, or Richard Wright saw him again.

From Quiz Famous Last Words - 1970s Edition

Answer: Everything I Own

"Everything I Own" was written by David Gates and recorded by his band Bread. The lyrics to the song would lead you to believe it's about a failed relationship, but Gates has stated it was actually written about the passing of his father. According to the book "1000 UK #1 Hits" by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Gates said about his dad: "He was my biggest influence, so I decided to write "Everything I Own" about him. If you listen to the words, 'You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, gave my life to me, set me free', it says it all." The song was the band's fifth single to reach the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number five in March of 1972.

"Delta Dawn" was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey, and was first recorded by Harvey in 1971. The following year country singer Tanya Tucker recorded a version of the song, and it became her first big hit, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 1972. That same year record producer Tom Catalano recorded an instrumental track of the song, with the intention of having Barbra Streisand provide the vocals, but she turned him down, so Catalano offered it to Helen Reddy.

It also became her first number one in her native Australia, spending five weeks atop the Australian singles chart.

Answer: Garden Party

Written and recorded by Rick Nelson, "Garden Party" describes events that occurred during his performance at a Rock & Roll oldies show at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1971. Nelson started out okay, performing his hits from the '50s and early '60s, but when he decided to throw in some new material he was booed, so Nelson cut his set short and left the stage.
