Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather. Whiplash girlchild in the dark. Clubs and bells, your servant don't forsake him. Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart." Who sang these lyrics?

Answer: The Velvet Underground

"Venus In Furs" from their debut album "The Velvet Underground And Nico" released in 1967. Forming in 1965 they never achieved commercial success durring their time. Lou Reed's dark lyrics and John Cale's sound would later go on to influence many punk and alternative bands to come.
2. "I've been loved and put aside (Time) I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time) and my soul has been psychedilicized (Time)." Who sang these lyrics?

Answer: The Chambers Brothers

The hit "Time Has Come Today" was featured on The Chambers Brothers 1967 album "The Time Has Come." Forming in 1954, the four brothers from Mississippi gained their biggest commercial success with this eleven minute classic. Unable to build on their good fortune they split up in 1972. They would later re-group in 1974 and continue to tour.
3. "There's battle lines being drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. Young people speaking their mind. Getting so much resistance from behind." Who sang these lyrics?

Answer: Buffalo Springfield

The hit "For What It's Worth" was featured on Buffalo Spingfield's self-titled debut album in 1966. Forming in April of the same year Buffalo Springfield introduced the world to Neil Young and Stephen Stills. Band fighting led to constant lineup changes, then their total demise in 1968.
4. "Waterfall, nothing can harm me at all. My worries seem so very small, with my waterfall. I can see, my rainbow calling me, through the misty breeze of my waterfall." Who sang these lyrics?

Answer: The Jimi Hendix Experience

"May This Be Love" was featured on The Jimi Hendrix Experience album "Are You Experienced" released in 1967. Born Johnny Allen Hendrix in 1942, then later changing his name to James Marshall Hendrix, this singer, songwriter, and guitar legend would go on to be one of the most influential guitarists in the history of music.

His full potential would never be known as he was the founding member of the infamous "Twenty-Seven" club - the age he passed away from a drug overdose in 1970.
5. "Round the squares, huddled in storms. Some laughing, some just shapless forms. Sidewalk scenes, and black limousines. Some living, some standing alone." Who sang these lyrics?

Answer: The Byrds

"Eight Miles High" was first released as a single in 1966, and peaked at Number Fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100. It was later included on The Byrds album "Fifth Dimension" in 1966. In an attempt to leave their folk rock sound, a true psychedelic masterpiece was born.
6. "When the logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead. And the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queens's "Off with her Head." Remember what the dormouse said." Who sang these lyrics?

7. "The wind blows rain into my face. The sun glows at the end of the highway. Child of the moon, rub your rainy eye's. Oh, child of the moon, give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile." Who sang these lyrics?

Answer: The Rolling Stones

"Child Of The Moon" was originally recorded in 1967. It was released as a B-Side to the single "Jumping Jack Flash" in 1968. A great song that could've been a single of its own.

Answer: The Doors

"When The Music's Over" from The Doors second album "Strange Days" released in 1967. America's most controversial band at the time, Jim Morrison's intelligent and literary laced lyrics made The Doors the darlings of the underground intellectual scene. However his untimely death in Paris in 1971 made him number three in the "Twenty-Seven" club.
