Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Example: Member of Wham! who might have recorded "Thriller" = George Michael Jackson. Ready? Here's your first one: 1973 Pink Floyd album which could have had a song from "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

Answer: Dark Side of the Moon River

"Dark Side of the Moon" was released in March 1973 and was on US Billboard's Top 200 chart for 741 weeks, the longest time of any album in history. It is also the album that is said to synch up with "The Wizard of Oz" (though I've never checked this out for myself).

"Moon River", composed by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer in 1961, was sung by Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"(1961). The song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song that year.
2. Famous R&B artist who could have sung "Let's Stay Together" in Billie Joe Armstrong's band.

Answer: Al Green Day

Al Green (born Albert Greene) had many hits from the late 1960s all the way up to the early '90s. "Let's Stay Together" was a number one single in the US in 1972.

Green Day's other members are Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt. The band, from Berkeley, California, has been together since the 1980s, but did not receive widespread mainstream success until 1994, with the release of their album "Dookie".
3. A 1983 Talking Heads song combined with a 1964 hit for The Animals.

Answer: Burning Down the House of the Rising Sun

"Burning Down the House" was on the Talking Heads' 1983 album "Speaking in Tongues". The song reached Number nine in the US that year.

"The House of the Rising Sun" has been recorded by many more artists, including Bob Dylan and Nina Simone. More recently, U2 and Green Day borrowed the opening lines of the song for their 2006 tribute to the New Orleans Saints "The Saints Are Coming". The phrase "house of the rising sun" is a euphemism for a brothel.
4. A combination of Mick Jagger and Scott Weiland would be a _______ _______ ________ ________.

Answer: Rolling Stone Temple Pilot

Sir Mick Jagger was born Michael Philip Jagger in 1943 in Kent, England. Mick was a founding member of the Rolling Stones, along with Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts.

The Stone Temple Pilots were an American band from the 1990s and early 2000s. Frontman Scott Weiland went on to form the band Velvet Revolver with former members of Guns N Roses.
5. A 1984 Don Henley tune,covered by The Ataris in 2003, that could have been featured on the "Grease" soundtrack.

Answer: The Boys of Summer Nights

"The Boys of Summer", written by Don Henley and Mike Campbell, was first recorded on Henley's "Building the Perfect Beast" album. The song reached Number five on the US charts.

"Summer Nights" from 1978's "Grease" was written by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs, and was performed in the movie and on the soundtrack by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. This song also reached Number five on the Billboard Chart in the US.
6. What do you get when you cross a 1983 Cyndi Lauper hit with a 1964 Beach Boys tune about a girl in a T-bird?

Answer: Girls Just Want to Have Fun Fun Fun

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was on Cyndi Lauper's 1983 debut solo album called "She's so Unusual". The song, written by Robert Hazard, reached Number two on US charts and the music video was MTV "Video of the Year" for 1983.

"Fun, Fun, Fun" was released as a single along with "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" in 1964. The song was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love about Dennis Wilson's relationship with a rich girl who hid their fling from her father.
7. A 1992 Red Hot Chili Peppers song that may have been from a 1970 Simon and Garfunkel album.

Answer: Under the Bridge Over Troubled Water

"Under the Bridge" is the most successful RHCP single in the US to date. It reached Number two on Billboard charts in 1992. The song is about Anthony Kiedis' struggle with drug addiction and was on the 1991 album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik".

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" was Simon and Garfunkel's fifth and final studio album. It was named as Number 51 in "Rolling Stone" magazine's "500 Greatest Albums of All-time". It won five Grammys in 1971.
8. A 1984 Metallica song, that many people believe deals with suicide, that could have performed by Ozzy Osbourne's band.

Answer: Fade to Black Sabbath

"Fade to Black" was on the 1984 Metallica album "Ride the Lightning". It was the first 'soft' song released by the band. As a bit of trivia, "Fade to Black" was former bassist Jason Newsted's favourite song and was the last song he performed live with the band (though the song was written well before Newsted joined the band).

Black Sabbath, from Birmingham, England, were ranked second on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" (Led Zeppelin was first). They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 by Metallica members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, despite Ozzy saying he no longer wanted the band considered for induction. The remaining band members in 2007 were the same members as the original line up (Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward), but there have been additional members over the years.
9. The third album released by the Beatles, which was also the name of their first movie, which might have included a 1978 Bee Gees single from a John Travolta movie.

Answer: A Hard Days Night Fever

"A Hard Day's Night" was released in the UK in 1964 as a soundtrack to the Beatles' first film of the same name. The American release had a slightly different track listing. It is the only Beatles album to be credited entirely to Lennon-McCartney. It was named Number 388 on"Rolling Stone"'s "500 Greatest Albums of All-time".

"Night Fever" appeared on the movie soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever". The song reached Number one on the charts in the US, the UK, and Canada (and for several simultaneous weeks, "Stayin' Alive" was Number two).
10. Early 1970's Ian Gillan band combined with a wildly famous Hendrix song.

Answer: Deep Purple Haze

Deep Purple formed in London, England in 1968. Other members over the years include Steve Morse, Roger Glover, Ritchie Blackmore and Joe Satriani, among many more. Deep Purple's most famous release would probably be "Smoke on the Water", released in 1973, from the 1972 album "Machine Head".

"Purple Haze" was recorded in 1967 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and released on the "Are You Experienced?" album that same year. The song reached Number Three on US charts, but only Number 65 in the UK.
