Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many minutes did Justin Timberlake and Madonna give us to save the world?

Answer: Four

So if you are trying to save the world in 4 minutes you can use this tune but leave yourself 5 seconds to spare because the playing time on this song is 4:05. This song was also used in the big screen version of "Get Smart" with Steve Carrell.

2. Dolly Parton sure hated her boss when she was working for him all day. What were her job hours?

Answer: 9 to 5

Not only was this a popular song, but it was also a popular movie in 1980. It starred Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dabney Coleman. In a 2009 interview, Dolly Parton said that the clacking of her fingernails against each other helped inspire the typewriter beat of the song.

3. How many years did Five for Fighting take us through while depicting the life of an average person?

Answer: 100

This song, a beautiful reminder of how amazing life is, has been played on many television shows such as, "Scrubs", "Smallville", and the final episode of "JAG". The writer of this song, John Ondrasik, wrote this song around important events in his own life.

4. What number does Nelly think he is in the hip-hop world?

Answer: One

And according to him "two is not a winner and three nobody remembers." But I am sure Denzel Washington remembers this because it was on the "Training Day" soundtrack, the movie Denzel won an Oscar for.

5. Skid Row sang about this young man who accidentally shot his friend and ended up going to prison. He was how old when he got life in prison?

Answer: 18

This turned into one of Skid Row's biggest hits. It was the most played video on MTV in 1989.

6. How many of Nena's red balloons flew into the air and ended up causing a nuclear war?

Answer: 99

This song, a hit in Germany, wasn't intended to come to America. However, a Los Angeles DJ found a copy and started playing it. After that, they recorded a version in English and it became Nena's only U.S. hit.

7. How many days a week do the Beatles love you?

Answer: Eight

This song was written for the movie "Help". McCartney did most of the writing for this song but Lennon contributed as well. However, a few years later Lennon admitted to not loving the song so much.

8. How many ways did Paul Simon have to leave his lover?

Answer: 50

Even though the song was called "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover" the song only talked about five of them. My personal favorite was slipping out the back, Jack.
The others were "Get on the bus, Gus,", "Make a new plan, Stan", "Drop off the key, Lee", and "You don't need to be coy, Roy, just set yourself free."

9. How many people was Shania Twain having a party for?

Answer: Two

In a song called "Party for Two" it is funny that there were three artists involved. Shania recorded the song twice, once with Mark McGrath for a pop version and once with Billy Currington for a country version.

10. Which summer does Bryan Adams have such fond memories of?

Answer: '69

Some of the lines from this song were inspired from the songs of other artists. For example, the line "I got my first real six string" was inspired by Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero".
