Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In two cross Atlantic dance scenes, which characters sang the song containing these lyrics? "It feels so right now, hold me tight. Tell me I'm the only one. And then I might, Never be the lonely one."

Answer: Lucy and Molly

 In dance scenes on either side of the Atlantic (which appeared to be simultaneous but couldn't have been because of the time difference), Lucy sang these words to her boyfriend Daniel, while over in Liverpool, Molly sang them to her boyfriend Jude.
All American Lucy was at a very proper prom with her boyfriend, who had just enlisted in the Army. At this point Lucy was still naive and proud of her boyfriend for enlisting, although not looking forward to the upcoming separation.
In a scene very reminiscent of The Beatles' Cavern days, Molly tried to hold onto her man, who had signed on to work on a trans-Atlantic ship. Jude was headed for America, looking for both a break and a chance to connect with his absent father. Molly sensed, correctly, that Jude was slipping out of her life.
Lucy was played by Evan Rachel Wood and Molly was played by Lisa Hogg.

"Hold Me Tight", was a McCartney/Lennon composition from the American released LP, "Meet the Beatles", (1964).
2. "I'll pretend that I'm kissing, the lips I am missing, And hope that my dreams will come true. And then while I'm away, I'll write home every day, And I'll send all my loving to you." Which character started out a journey by singing this hopeful love song?

Answer: Jude

 The product of a wartime liaison between his mother and an American serviceman, Jude worked the shipyards in Liverpool in the '60s. Feeling trapped and wanting to track down his father, Jude signed up to work on a trans-Atlantic ship. He sang this song to his Liverpudlian girlfriend, Molly, before shipping out.
Jude was played by Jim Sturgess.

"All My Loving" was also released in the US in 1964 on the LP "Meet the Beatles".
3. Who was it who sang this innocent love song to a hopeless love? "Yeah you got that something, I think you'll understand. When I say that something, I want to hold your hand."

Answer: Prudence

 We first met Prudence as she practiced with her high school cheerleading squad, on the field beside the also practising football team. When the girls took a break, Prudence retired to the bleachers where she sang this song to another cheerleader, who was flirting with one of the football players. Prudence later hitchhiked to New York, where she still wasn't able to be open about her sexuality.
Prudence was played by T.V. Carpio.

A number one single for the Beatles in the UK, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was released in the US, in 1964, on the LP "Meet the Beatles".
4. Who, with a group of friends in a night of fun, was the primary singer for the song that contained the following lyrics? "What would you think if I sang out of tune. Would you stand up and walk out of me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song, And I'll try not to sing out of key."

Answer: Max

 At university only to please his parents, Max spent more time playing than studying (and did end up dropping out). He met Jude when Jude went there in search of his father, who turned out to be the custodian. Max was running from some other students, whose window he had broken with a golf ball, and Jude gave him a place to hide. Jude joined them for a night of drinking and fun, with this song being sung while they got drunk and had fun with Max's dorm buddies.
Max (Lucy's brother) was played by Joe Anderson.

"With a Little Help from My Friends" was released on the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967, in both the US and the UK.
5. Who sang these wonderfully romantic lines? "I've just seen a face, I can't forget the time or place, Where we just met. She's just the girl for me, And I want all the world to see We've met."

Answer: Jude

 Max took his new friend Jude home for Thanksgiving, where Jude was immediately smitten by Max's sister, Lucy (who was dating Daniel at the time). Dinner conversation got a little heated when Max announced that he was dropping out of college and the three young people escaped to the bowling alley. It was here that Jude sang the song about Lucy.

"I've Just Seen a Face" was released in the UK on the "Help!" LP in 1965, but in the States, it was released on "Rubber Soul" in 1965.
6. In one of the more powerful scenes from the film, who began the song containing these lyrics? "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be."

Answer: Jo-Jo's brother

 The scene depicted the riots in Detroit, where a young boy crouched behind a burned out carcass of a car, singing these words of hope and wisdom in a time of hatred. We learned that this was Jo-Jo's brother at the funeral, where we were first introduced to JoJo, supporting his mother and throwing dirt into the grave.
Timmy Mitchum played Jo-Jo's brother, and provided the thin, sweet voice that started the song. Later, as the funeral began, the song was sung by the choir, led by Carol Woods.
Lucy's boyfriend, Daniel was also killed in the riots, being there in the capacity of a soldier, and the story alternated between the two, very different funerals.

"Let It Be" was a huge hit for the Beatles, released in 1970 on the LP of the same name.
7. "Here come old flattop. He come groovin' up slowly. He got joo-joo eyeball. He one holy roller. He got hair down to his knees. Got to be a joker he just do what he please." Which veteran rocker sang these lyrics, under the guise of a number of personas?

Answer: Joe Cocker

 Arriving by bus in New York, Jo-Jo passed Joe Cocker singing this song first as a bum in the subway, then as a pimp with his girls, then as an aging hippy who stopped Jo-Jo from being hit on the street, and finally as a pimp again. Jo-Jo seemed amazed by the characters he found, although one wonders how it could have been that different from Detroit.

Joe Cocker (real name) made a name for himself in the '60s, with his distinctive rough voice and hard to distinguish lyrics. He often played air guitar when performing. Cocker was at both the original Woodstock, in 1969, and at the less successful 1994 event.

"Come Together" was released in 1969 on "Abbey Road".
8. "If I fell in love with you. Would you promise to be true, And help me, understand? 'Cause I've been in love before, And I found that love was more, Than just holding hands." Which character sang these lyrics?

Answer: Lucy

 After Daniels' death, Lucy went to New York to spend a little time with her brother. Since Max was now living with Jude, the two had a chance to let the original spark of attraction develop. Realising that she was falling for Jude, Lucy sang this song at a party at Jude and Max's apartment, which ended with them as a couple.

"If I Fell" was released in 1964 on the Beatles album from their first film, "A Hard Day's Night".
9. In one of my favourite scenes from the movie, who got to sing, "She's so heavy, heavy. She's so heavy, heavy...", while shouldering an American icon?

Answer: Max

 Drafted, because he dropped out of college, Max showed up to be evaluated and processed. As he entered the building, posters of Uncle Sam started singing "I want you. I want you so bad." to Max, a refrain that was carried out by the soldiers doing the evaluations. Intercut with this were scenes of Sadie singing the same lines to Jo-Jo, who had recently joined her group, and of Prudence singing the lines to Sadie.
By the time the song had progressed to the "She's so heavy" refrain, Max and the other draftees were tramping though a miniature, plastic jungle, stomping on the trees. Clad only in their underwear, they shouldered the Statue of Liberty as they trudged, making an excellent commentary of the cost of being a young man in America at the time.

"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" was released on "Abbey Road" in 1969.
10. Who began the singing of the song that contained these winsome lines? "Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day. The sun is up, the sky is blue, It's beautiful and so are you. Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?"

Answer: Sadie

 Frustrated by her unrequited attraction to Sadie, Prudence locked herself into a closet and wouldn't come out. Max appealed to Sadie for help, who started singing this song to Prudence. Sadie was reminded by Jo-Jo that they had an appointment to keep, so Lucy, Max, and Jude took up the song, eventually coaxing Prudence into coming out.
Sadie was their hard rocking, slightly older landlady, who pursued both her music career, as a Joplin-like singer, and her relationship with Jo-Jo.
Sadie was played by Dana Fuchs.

"Dear Prudence" was released on "The White Album" in 1968.
