She released "11:11" in 2001, "Songs" in 2002, "Soviet Kitsch" in 2004, and "Begin to Hope" in 2006. "Far" was released in 2009, and she also released "Live in London" in 2010.

3. What song is this lyric from? "The mothers' get whiskey and the girlfriends' get tongue."

From Quiz Regina Spektor Lyrics from "11:11"

Answer: Back of a Truck

"The mothers' get whiskey and the girlfriends' get tongue. And there's a back of a truck selling smoke-free lungs." This was Regina's debut album. It was released in July of 2001.

4. What song is this lyric from? "Maybe you should kiss someone nice or lick a rock or both."

From Quiz Regina Spektor - Lyrics from "Soviet Kitsch"

Answer: The Ghost of Corporate Future

Second verse: "Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee and never ever watch the ten o'clock news. Maybe you should kiss someone nice or lick a rock or both. Maybe you should cut your own hair, 'cause that can be so funny. It doesn't cost any money and it always grows back. Hair grows even after you're dead." After the whole Fox News debacle back in 2007 (where Fox was found to be communicating wrong information), Regina would slip that into this song. The lyrics went as follows: "Maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee and never ever watch the ten o'clock news, especially Fox."

Regina Spektor was born in Moscow, Soviet Union, February 18th, 1980. Some connections to Russia are made through her albums and songs, such as the album Soviet Kitsch, which comes from Milan Kundera's expression of communism. In her song, "Aprés Moi", Regina speaks Russian.

"He don't say much as he tips his hat and he carries his body as heavy as lead. He could have been flying through the snow on his sled, but the wife was in bed and the horses had to be fed." She was not signed to a major label at this point, so the album was self-released and only sold at her shows.

Second verse: "The papers around me are piling and twisting, Regina the paperback mummy, what then? I'm taking a knife to the books that I own and I'm chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stones."

Second verse: "I was sleeping by wasteside of tomorrow, but it's better than sleeping by the wasteside of today. All the people in my town would be born and then they'd get themselves a haircut and then promptly after they'd be dead."

I've gone away, don't call me, don't write." Contrary to the pictures painted with many of Regina's songs, her songs are rarely, if ever, a direct relation to her own life. She tells stories through either her point of view or the point of view of somebody/something else.

From Quiz Human of the Year: Regina Spektor

Answer: Consequence of Sound
