Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Russell, like all of the grunts, has always had an unique sense of fashion. :) In which music video does he wear a rose-patterned shirt in one part of the video and a crown-pattered shirt underneath a leopard print jacket in another part?

Answer: What's Her Name

There is one fashion do and one fashion don't in this video .... In the section of the video where Russell and Dean are playing outside in front of the oil derrick, we can see the fashion do: Russell is wearing a black silk shirt with small red roses on it. On stage during the concert footage he is wearing a crown shirt with a leopard print jacket over it ~~ separately they'd be sexy but when worn together they are really a hideous combination ~~ a definite fashion don't.
2. Which video features World War II footage filmed by Russell's grandfather, Stanley J. Wemyss, MBE?

Answer: Memorial Day

Russell's grandfather won an MBE (Member of the British Empire) medal for his efforts during World War II. Russell found his grandfather's MBE among some other medals his step-grandma Joy sent him. None of the medals had ever been opened or worn. Russell wore his grandfather's MBE on the night he won an Academy Award for his role as Maximus in Gladiator.
3. In which two of the following videos does Dean wear his famous Rose shirt: The Photograph Kills, What's Her Name, Circus, Things Have Got To Change, Memorial Day and Sail Those Same Oceans?

Answer: What's Her Name and Things Have Got To Change

In What's Her Name he is wearing it on stage during a performance in Australia. It is long sleeved. In Things Have Got To Change he is wearing it in the "trailer park soap opera" in Austin, Texas. The sleeves have been removed.
4. Which video features a friend (Mark Rosier?) simulating picking Garth's nose?

Answer: The Photograph Kills

Poor Garth .... :) He always has the oddest moments filmed and then stuck into TOFOG music videos.
5. Which video features both Russell's famous blue flannel shirt ("Big Blue") and his Lucky shirt?

Answer: Things Have Got To Change

Although Russell doesn't wear Big Blue in THGTC it does play a role ... lol ... a bit of trivia on these two shirts: Russell wears his Lucky shirt in Memorial Da' during the TOFOG concert footage and he wears Big Blue in the Sail Those Same Oceans video.
6. In which video will you see Russell standing beside a large horse sculpture?

Answer: Circus

Circus was shot in Los Angeles and Sydney. The horse sculpture is in Glendale ~~ and before actually seeing this video, I used to take walks and sit and look at this very sculpture ... twilight zone moment, eh?
7. In the beginning of The Photograph Kills Mark Dumbrell and the cameraman are discussing TOFOG... the cameraman jokingly says that TOFOG used to be ______'s ex-band. Whose band was it?

Answer: Willie Nelson

LOL! A fun bit o'trivia about Willie Nelson and TOFOG ... although they didn't know Willie Nelson at the time that those joking comments were made when they were making the music video for TPK they did later have an association with him ~~ they recorded their Bastard Life or Clarity album at Arlyn Studios in Austin Texas, which is owned by Willie Nelson.
8. Which video is the first one that we see Dave Kelly in as TOFOG's drummer?

Answer: What's Her Name

Before DK, TOFOG played with two other drummers, back when they were Roman Antix and before they actually came up with the name 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. Their names were Steve Melville and Don Brown.
9. Which video shows a brief moment where Russell grabs a beer can which is balanced on Dean's head?

Answer: What's Her Name

What's Her Name is probably my favorite video. I see something new every time I watch it! I think my favorite moment (besides the footage shot in front of the oil derrick) is the nipple scratching bit. *evil grin*
10. Which video features an oil derrick pumping in the background as Russell and Dean are playing their guitars in the foreground?

Answer: What's Her Name

Is it me or is that intentionally Freudian? (LOL) The oil derrick was actually a part of the L.A. Confidential movie set. LAC was filmed May 6, 1996 - Aug 22, 1996 and was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1997 and stunned audiences. It was released in the US officially on Sept 19, 1997.
11. In which video does Dean make his acting debut?

Answer: Memorial Day

Dean plays the role of Russell's grandfather in this video ~ as opposed to other TOFOG videos, where he plays himself playing the gwee-tar.
12. Which of the following videos has footage of the Grunts on a motorbike ride across Australia?

Answer: Things Have Got To Change

The Grunts are planning to release a full documentary of their motorbike ride across Australia.
13. In the Circus video, what does Russell's hat have on it?

Answer: LAFD

Russell can be seen wearing NY and LA fire and police department gear in old photos and on the TEXAS DVD ~~ long before it was fashionable to do so.
14. What is the name of the ship that the Sail Those Same Oceans video was shot on?

Answer: The Bounty

I don't know, I really think Cacafuego is a better choice, but that's just me .... annnnyway, The Bounty was sailing in the Sydney Harbour for the duration of this music video and the boys look cooooooold out there!
15. Which music video is the first one that Stew Kirwan and Dave Wilkins appeared in?

Answer: Things Have Got to Change

Stew and Dave both joined the band in 1998. Stew was filling in for another trumpet player and his Backstreet Boyish good looks seemed to fit in with the rest of the band's "look" while Wilko was supporting TOFOG on tour with his band Utopian Babies. The thing all of the band have in common is good hair ... Dave had some really good hair and he could drink some beer, so the rest is history...
16. Which Russell Crowe movie is featured in the TOFOG music video for The Photograph Kills? TPK can be heard in that same movie, although it is not credited and it cannot be found on the soundtrack.

Answer: Virtuosity

In Virtuosity Russell plays a cyber-villian called SID 6.7. Brett Leonard, who directed this film, is a friend of TOFOG's to this day and helped with the editing of their film TEXAS. He also appears as the "DVD Info Guy" (slash pole dancer - eep!) in TEXAS.
17. Which video has been referred to as a "trailer park soap opera" by lead singer Russell Crowe?

Answer: Things Have Got To Change

THGTC was filmed in Austin, Texas in 2000. All of the signs and the junkyard styling found in the video were already there. They didn't have to dress the set at all! Russell has said that they estimated it would have cost them about $200,000 to dress the set like it was if they'd had to gather all of that stuff together themselves.
18. Many of TOFOG's videos are hybrids ~ containing footage shot both in the U.S. and in Australia. Of the following videos, which one contains footage shot only in Australia?

Answer: Sail Those Same Oceans

Sail Those Same Oceans was shot completely in Sydney Harbour aboard the HMS Bounty.
19. Which three of the following videos do not contain footage of the band playing on stage in concert? The Photograph Kills, What's Her Name, Circus, Things Have Got To Change, Memorial Day, and Sail Those Same Oceans?

Answer: Circus, Things Have Got To Change & Sail Those Same Oceans

Although the band is shown playing their instruments in all three of these videos, they are not playing for the public at a gig. It's all lip synched, baby!
20. Here's an easy one ... which music video cannot be found on collector's edition of TOFOG's film TEXAS sold on their tour in the U.S. in 2001?

Answer: Sail Those Same Oceans

The Sail Those Same Oceans video was released a few months after the Grunts' U.S. tour in August 2001, so it wasn't included in TEXAS.
