Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "What a gloomy little mug, wot wot, come on let's see you smile." Who was Horty singing this to in 'Loamhedge'?

Answer: Martha

Horty sang that song to Martha every time she was feeling a bit down. The song made fun of Sister Setiva, and she was not amused!

2. "Ho plunder, by thunder! Ain't nothin' nice as plunder." In 'Triss', this song was sung by the Freebooters. What came next?

Answer: "And booty, me beauty, and lots of load to boot."

Most vermin had very bad grammar. During the book, Plugg Firetail, a fox, lost his tail. While dancing a hornpipe to this song, he pulled off his tail and whirled it around his head!

3. "Bend your back beneath the lash, straighten it and feel some more." Drufo had taught a young ottermaid a song about slavery in 'Triss'. What was the name of this song?

Answer: The Slave's Lot

Sleeve, the young ottermaid, was a captive on Riftgard. She was to be killed by Captain Hydrad for being a rebel, but Kroova Wavedog, another otter, saved her at the last moment.

4. "Dungle Drips" was an old Dibbun song in 'Loamhedge'. In this song, what was woe to?

Answer: The first little paw that slips

"Whooaaah! Let's do ee darnce o' Dungle Drips, woe to ee first likkle paw wot slips." "Dungle Drips" was sung in molespeech. Saro used to be Redwall's finest dancer. She sang and danced along to the song, which she knew well.

5. In the very last song in 'Triss', the soldiers coming back from Riftgard sang of returning home. Whom did they say they would kiss?

Answer: The babes, the pretty ones and maybe the cook

"We'll kiss the babes and pretty ones, ring out the welcome bell, and if the grub is good enough, we'll kiss the cook as well." The song ended when Scarum ran straight into a wall.

6. "This ain't a sword, it ain't a spear, an arrow nor a bow." Who sang this song in 'The Long Patrol' and what was he or she singing about?

Answer: Russa Nodrey, about her hardwood stick

Tammo had asked the Long Patrol to sing their anthem. Tare and Turry, the twins, said that Tammo should sing in turn. Russa spared him any further embarrassment by singing her own anthem, "The Song of The Stick".

7. "Oi pray ee zurr, doan't 'it moi paw..." What comes next?

Answer: Furr if'n ee do et will be sore

For this song, the Redwall formed two circles, one for the older females and another for the Dibbuns. It was played with a peculiar instrument called a molecordion.

8. "'O mother dear mother oh may I look now?' Come stir your stumps daughter and look anyhow.'" What was the name of the song that this line came from?

Answer: Hares on the Mountain

This song came from 'The Long Patrol'. Pasque Valerian sang it to the Redwallers to prove hares could sing.

9. Dotti in 'Lord Brocktree' was a terrible singer. How did Lord Brocktree persuade her to stop singing?

Answer: By saying that they couldn't strain a pretty voice

After this, Dotti said that her voice affected her dad so much he said that he only had to listen to her voice for a lifetime. Dotti thought that had been a compliment.

10. "Ho welcome to the feast, you beast, I hopes you trip and fall." Who sang this line in 'The Taggerung'?

Answer: Egburt

This was a version of a welcome song sung by the Dibbuns. When Boorab caught Egburt, he was forced to sing his version. Boorab was outraged, but his grandfather Drogg, whom Egburt's song had made fun of, said that his grandson had a rare talent for rhyming. Hope you enjoyed this quiz. Bye for now!
