Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What Bible story is "Story of a Squirrel" about?

Answer: Noah's ark

"Story of a Squirrel" really isn't about the squirrel at all, it just talks about Noah's ark. In fact, at the end, the lyrics realize this: "I realize that I've accidentally snubbed her...yet she's fine." It's a parody of "Story of a Girl" by Nine Days.
2. "Tom Saw Ya" - what is another nickname for the "Tom" they're referring to?

Answer: Doubting Thomas

"Tom Saw Ya" (a parody of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush) is the story of doubting Thomas, one of Jesus' apostles who swore he wouldn't believe in the resurrection until he had touched the holes in Jesus's hands and side where they pierced him. Jesus proved himself to Thomas by letting him do exactly that.
3. "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Nameless" is based on a story Jesus told.

Answer: true

This is from their "Adam Up" CD, which releases November 18, 2003. It is a parody of "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" by Good Charlotte and tells the story of Lazarus and the rich man (who is, of course, the "rich and nameless").
4. "Genny 22" is based, of course, on Genesis 22. But what important story about Abraham happens in that chapter that this song focuses on?

Answer: Abraham sacrificing Isaac

This song, a parody of "867-5309," also known as "Jenny's Song" by Tommy Tutone, is the story of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his only son.
5. What is the name of the "Biblical Graffiti" song that focuses on the judge Samson?

Answer: "Enter Samson"

It's a parody of "Enter Sandman" by Metallica, and focuses on the story of Samson, whose parents vowed he would never cut his hair, which would give him amazing strength.
6. The story of "Spirit Inside" takes place at the Last Supper.

Answer: false

"Spirit Inside," originally "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum, is about what has now come to be known as Pentecost; that is, after Jesus ascended to Heaven and the believers waited for Him to send the Holy Spirit to them.
7. "I Love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett turned into a song about one of the Bible writers. Who?

Answer: Paul

The parody is titled "I Love Apostle Paul." The first verse is told from another prisoner's point of view, noting that Paul has done nothing wrong and doesn't deserve to be imprisoned.
8. Which of these ApologetiX songs is not about the birth of Jesus?

Answer: Last Night

"Last Night," a parody of "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam, is actually a song about the crucifixion of Jesus. "Hotel Can't Afford Ya" ("Hotel California" by the Eagles), "Christmasnite" ("Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down), and "Micah No. 5" ("Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega) are all available on the band's six-song Christmas EP, "Have Yourself a Parody Little Christmas."
9. Who is the "Parable Guy"?

Answer: Jesus

"American Pie" by Don McLean turns into "Parable Guy," a song that tries to cram all of Jesus' parables in the gospels into one eight-minute song.
10. There's a song on the "Jesus Christ Morningstar" that has a Bible reference for a title. What is it?

Answer: John 1:1

"Genny 22" is an actual ApologetiX song, but it's from the "Spoofernatural" CD. "John 1:1" is a parody of "Fun, Fun, Fun" by the Beach Boys and talks about the verse that says that in the beginning the Word was with God and the Word was God. In the words of the song: "John 1:1 tells us God is really Jesus the Word."
11. "Twins Came Out" is about the birth of what two brothers?

Answer: Jacob and Esau

Jacob and Esau were the only two in the list of choices that were twins. (David and Absalom weren't even brothers, they were father and son.) This song is a parody of "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles and can be found on their "Biblical Graffiti" CD.
12. What Biblical judge is "Kick in the Wall" about?

Answer: Joshua

This retelling of Joshua and the walls of Jericho is a parody of "Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd, and it is on the band's "Biblical Graffiti" CD.
13. Who is the "Crazy Little King God Loves"? He's sung about twice on the "Biblical Graffiti" CD - once in the abovementioned song, and once in a song that was original sung by Led Zeppelin.

Answer: David

David was called a "man after God's own heart." "Crazy Little King God Loves" is a parody of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen, and the Led Zeppelin song they parodied was "Dancing Days," which became "Dancing Dave."
14. "Bethlehemian Rhapsody" from "Keep the Change" was not the first time ApologetiX had recorded that song. What album was their earlier version released on?

Answer: "Radical History Tour"

The song (a parody of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen) was originally recorded on "Radical History Tour" with slightly different lyrics and only mediocre sound quality. But they re-did it on "Keep the Change" with a much better result.
15. "Don't Fear the People" says, "We can be like he was." Who is "he"?

Answer: Stephen

"Don't Fear the People" is a parody of "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult, from the "Grace Period" CD. Part of the song goes, "Stephen didn't fear the people, not even when they stoned him to death. We can be like he was."
