Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. These lyrics belong to a 1956 song by Harry Belafonte called "Day-o." What was its subtitle? "Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go home Day, me say day, me say day, me say day Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go home"

Answer: The Banana Boat Song

Harry Belafonte released "The Banana Boat Song" on his album "Calypso". The song was the biggest hit off the album and made it to number five on the US Billboard's Hot 100 predecessor chart. The album spent 31 weeks at Number One. The song is considered Belafonte's signature song.

Tazman6619 knows how to start a feast off right. What an appetizer!
2. "Follow me, don't follow me I've got my spine, I've got my ____ ____ Collar me, don't color me I've got my spine, I've got my ____ ____" Can you fill the lyric gap, synonymous with a citric song title, released in 1988 by the American alternative rock band REM?

Answer: Orange Crush

"Orange Crush" was released as part of the album "Green", and is said to be a reference to Agent Orange, a chemical used in the Vietnam War. REM were formed in 1980 by Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, and each of the band members has been said to play an even role in songwriting and production.

Malik24 continued the fruity theme in fine form.
3. Patti LaBelle hit Number One with these lyrics in 1975. "Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister" Four singers, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mưa, and Pink, also took the lyrics to Number One in 2001 as part of the "Moulin Rouge!" soundtrack. What is the name of the song?

Answer: Lady Marmalade

LaBelle released "Lady Marmalade" in 1974 as a single from her album "Nightbirds". It was written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan. It hit Number One on the US Billboard Hot 100, the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play, and the Canadian RPM Top Singles Chart, while also reaching dizzying heights on the Dutch Singles Chart (Number Two), the Italian Single Chart (Number Five), the UK Singles chart (Number 17), and the Austrian Singles Chart (Number 17).

In 2003, LaBelle's version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The "Moulin Rouge!" cover reached Number One on 13 charts in countries all around the world.

Tazman6619 thought you could use something sweet to cleanse your palate.
4. What sort of wine did Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood have on their minds in these lyrics that appeared on their album "Nancy and Lee" in 1968? "I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to A song that I had only sang to just a few She saw my silver spurs and said, 'let's pass some time And I will give to you ______ wine Ohh-oh-oh ______ wine.'"

Answer: Summer

The song "Summer Wine" deals with a man meeting a woman. They get intoxicated and then, it is implied, favours are exchanged. In the morning the man awakes to find that his spurs and cash have been stolen.

Lee Hazlewood originally wrote the song and released a recording of it with Suzi Jane Hokom with little success. He then did a duet with Nancy Sinatra, which first appeared as a B-Side to Nancy's 1967 hit "Sugar Town". It became a huge hit for the pair with the release of the album in 1968 and began a long and fruitful partnership.

Pollucci19 hopes that a nice summery wine will go well with your dinner.
5. When Louis Armstrong first recorded "Struttin' with Some Barbecue" in 1927, it didn't have any lyrics - just some incredible instrumental work, with solos by the clarinet and trombone. Songwriter Don Raye added mouth-watering lyrics in 1941. Here's the first verse: "Struttin' with some barbecue, Swingin' with the band. Like the happy people do, Way down in ______________." According to Raye's lyrics, where are these happy, swingin', struttin' people?

Answer: Dixieland

Raye made this jazz standard an ode to the American South, the home of that musical tradition. (And, Southerners would argue, of the only good barbecue.) The title of the piece was original, though, bestowed upon it by its composer - Lil Hardin, who was married to Armstrong from 1924 to 1931. It seems that "barbecue" was slang at the time for a beautiful girl - so Hardin may have been thinking of her romance with Satchmo rather than about food! The piece has been performed countless times by countless musicians, with Raye's lyrics and without.

"Hear that ol' trombone
And the trumpet ad lib.
Love to hear the lick,
While I do my pickin' on a juicy rib."

CellarDoor worked for hours getting this dish just right.
6. "Cut like a razor blade so fast Other DJs say, 'damn' If my rhyme was a drug ___________________" Can you select the next line of lyrics to 'Ice Ice Baby' (1990), sung by cool rapper Vanilla Ice?

Answer: "I'd sell it by the gram"

"Ice Ice Baby" was written by Vanilla Ice, or Robert Van Winkle as he was originally born, and DJ Earthquake, who surely shook things up. The song used the bass line of "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, and was one of the first songs to make hip-hop more mainstream - however, he garnered much controversy from other rappers such as Eminem who did not appreciate the way he had done his song. Some considered him to be a novelty pop act rather than a credible rapper (whatever a credible rapper is meant to be!).

Malik24 served up this ice water before the next course.
7. "It's all because of you I'm feeling sad and blue You went away Now my love is just a rainy day I love you so How much you'll never know You've gone away and left me lonely" These lyrics belong to a song by A Taste of Honey. The song shares its name with a Japanese dish made in the nabemono (Japanese hot pot) style. What name is this?

Answer: Sukiyaki

A Taste of Honey released their cover of "Sukiyaki" in 1981. The original, performed by Kyu Sakamoto, went to Number One on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, and was the first song with Japanese lyrics to reach that coveted spot. A Taste of Honey's version, using English lyrics, only reached number three on the US Hot 100 but topped the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and the US Billboard Soul chart.

Tazman6619 finds both sukiyaki and honey delicious, but usually not together.
8. Which country band hit it big with these lyrics in 2008? "You know I like my chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up I like to see the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love."

Answer: Zac Brown Band

The Zac Brown Band released "Chicken Fried" as a single from their album "The Foundation". It was written by Zac Brown and Wyatt Durette. The song was originally released by The Lost Trailers but it only reached 52nd on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The Zac Brown Band's version reached Number One on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on December 6th and stayed there for two weeks. It reached 20th on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 52nd on the Canadian Hot 100. It was the band's first Number One and has been certified double platinum by the RIAA.

I guess we know how Tazman6619 likes his chicken!
9. Which of these beverages was NOT mentioned in the lyrics of Canadian rock band The Guess Who in their song "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature", released in 1970?

Answer: Beer

The relevant lyric sections are thus:
"No sugar tonight in my coffee, no sugar tonight in my tea"
and
"A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine".

The Guess Who were originally formed in 1958 by singer and guitarist Chad Allen, as Al and the Silvertones. Their name, The Guess Who, is said to have come about in 1965 after Quality Records attempted to build mystique and hype about their single 'Shakin' All Over', as their single was credited to 'Guess Who?'. In the music charts they were listed as 'Guess Who?' and so, eventually, that name stuck.

I, for one, am relieved to hear that malik24 was talking about beverages -- not about dessert!
10. "You are making me crazy I'm in love but I'm lazy So won't you please come home?" The Beatles sang this plaintive plea in 1968, as part of the "White Album." What delicious-sounding pet name do they use for the object of their affection and the title of their song?

Answer: Honey Pie

Properly titled "The Beatles," the "White Album" was a double record as memorable for its diverse mix of songs as for its featureless cover. "Honey Pie," a tribute to the old-style music hall, was never released as a single, but Paul McCartney's heartfelt vocals and the soundtrack's gentle crackle make it memorable all the same. Some of the verses seem as though they could have been sung by the Beatles' own North American fans:

"Oh, honey pie, you are driving me frantic.
Sail across the Atlantic
To be where you belong!"

CellarDoor firmly believes that it's always time for dessert.
11. Within Christina Aguilera's sugar-rush inducing song 'Candyman' (2007), which characters from an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel published in 1914 and a Disney film released in 1999 are mentioned in the first line of the lyrics?

Answer: Tarzan and Jane

"Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Candyman, candyman
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sweet sugar candyman"

'Candyman' is said to be a highly sexualised song, as the song also mentions engaging in a session of inebriation at a club whilst having dalliances with the paparazzi in hopes of getting a headline the next day. The song's theme is somewhat based on 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' (1941), and the imagery also is somewhat reminiscent of that time.

Christina Aguilera is also known for songs such as 'Reflection' (sung in 'Mulan' (1998)), 'Hurt' (2006) and, perhaps most prominently, 'Beautiful' (2002), which has been said to be highly inspirational to those with low self-esteem.

Malik24 has enjoyed this beautiful (and sugary) reflection.
12. Which farm animal, also named in the title of the song, is giving Elvis Presley the blues? "Well, I woke up this morning, And I looked out the door. I can tell that old _______ By the way she lowed."

Answer: Milk cow

The song is called "Milk Cow Blues Boogie", a number that was originally recorded by Kokomo Arnold in 1934. Elvis, with the backing of Scotty Moore on guitar and Bill Black on bass, gave the song a rockabilly twist in his 1954 recording at Sun Records. It also appears on his 1959 album "A Date With Elvis".

Don't be fooled by this question: dairy may give Elvis the blues, but Pollucci19 is just fine with it.
13. "Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields Sold in a market down in New Orleans Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright Hear him with the women just around midnight Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Brown sugar, just like a young girl should" Which group hit it big with these lyrics in 1971 on both sides of the Atlantic?

Answer: The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones released "Brown Sugar" in 1971 as the lead single from their album "Sticky Fingers". Although writing credit is given to both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Jagger did the majority of the writing. The song was Number One on the US Billboard Hot 100 and in Canada while it hit number two in the UK and France. The song was the first single released on Rolling Stones Records.

Tazman6619 just wasn't ready for dessert to end.
14. According to the lyrics of the very smooth Kelis's 'Milkshake', released in 2003, where does her milkshake bring all the boys?

Answer: To the yard

The relevant lyric sections for this song -- shaken, not stirred -- are:

"My milk shake brings all the boys to the yard,
And they're like,
It's better than yours,
Damn right, it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge."

'Milkshake' was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance in 2004. It is unclear what, exactly, the song is meant to mean; however, one perspective is that it accentuates women's confidence. There is an alternative interpretation, which is less savoury. However, the song was originally said to have gained a life of its own rather than being based on any particular circumstance.

Kelis also earned another Grammy nomination for her album 'Kelis Was Here', and she has sung in a variety of different genres, generally in the region of R&B, pop and soul.

Malik24 is offering a variety of milkshakes, but "to the yard" is not a flavor on offer tonight.
15. Many singers sing about themselves, and Snoop Doggy Dogg is no exception. "With so much drama in the L.B.C. / It's kinda hard bein' Snoop D-O-double-G," he raps at the beginning of one of his most famous songs. When he's "rollin' down the street," on what titular beverage does he prefer to sip?

Answer: Gin and Juice

The catchy chorus of this 1994 hit runs,

"Rollin' down the street, smokin' endo
Sippin' on gin and juice, laid back
(With my mind on my money
And my money on my mind)."

"Gin and Juice" was the second single from Snoop's first album, "Doggystyle." It hit number eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and remains an iconic song from that era of hip-hop. The song has been covered by artists as varied as The Gourds and Paul Simon, and is name-checked in more than a decade's worth of pop songs, from Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" to Katy Perry's "California Gurls."

CellarDoor thinks a gin and juice is just right to finish off the night.
