Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In Great Big Sea's first album, (self titled) there is a song called "Someday Soon". In the chorus, there is a number of promises that the singer would like "they" to fix. What is not one of the promises?

Answer: Give back fishing rights

 The chorus goes:
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease.
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon.
