Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: walrus

"I am the Walrus" is a song that has inspired considerable analysis and scrutiny. It appears on the album entitled "Magical Mystery Tour," by the Beatles.

2. "He was the wizard of a thousand kings." This quite magical entry inspired more than a few hard rock fans. The name also appears in literature. (Dickens) What is the name of this band?

Answer: Uriah Heep

Uriah Heep is one of the bands from the late 60s to the early 70s that achieved supreme success as a progressive rock band. Their popularity languished to relative cult status afterward.

"He was the wizard of a thousand kings,
And I chance to meet him one night wandering,
He told me tales and he drank my wine,
Me and my magic man kind of feeling fine."

3. The brilliant album, "Magical Mystery Tour," was released in 1967. Which phenomenal group is responsible for this album?

Answer: Beatles

The Beatles released the "Magical Mystery Tour," album in 1967. It contains many memorable songs. The accompanying film was not so well received, though.

Answer: Black Magic Woman

"Got a Black Magic Woman.
Got a Black Magic Woman.

Got me so blind, I can't see,
That she's a Black Magic Woman,
Trying to make a Devil outta me."

This happens to exemplify a case wherein the cover version exceeds the original version in popularity.

5. The very fast paced version of this "instrumental" song by the Dutch group, Focus, gained popularity in a number of sports and entertainment venues. What is the magical name of this song?

6. "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" was a hit tune by which group whose lead vocalist is also known as "Sting?"

Everything she do just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic,
Now, I know my love for her goes on."

This magical song was released in 1981 and appears on the album, "Ghost in the Machine." The song reached the top spot on the 1981 singles chart in the UK and Holland.

7. What is the lupine name for the Canadian-American band that issued the song entitled, "Magic Carpet Ride?"

Answer: Steppenwolf

The popular song, "Magic Carpet Ride," was a success for the American-Canadian band, Steppenwolf. It is surpassed in popularity only by "Born to Be Wild."

"Don't know what we can find?
Why don't you come with me little girl,
on a magic carpet ride?
You don't know what we can see.
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free.
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl.
Let the sound take you away."

Answer: Dragon

"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh ..

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea...
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

This is perhaps one of the most favored songs to sing in harmony for children of all ages.
