Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Another Brick In The Wall

The full title of this song is "Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)".

'We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone'

It was Pink Floyd's only number one single from "The Wall", reaching number 1 in both the UK and the US. "The Wall" sold approximately 23 million copies in the US alone.

The incorrect answers are all songs from the album.

2. A number one hit in the UK, a 1988 song by Enya had the lyrics: 'Let me sail, let me sail, Let me crash upon your shore, Let me reach, let me beach Far beyond the Yellow Sea. ... Sail Away, sail away, sail away Sail Away, sail away, sail away' This song was released in the US with a subtitle of "Sail Away", but what is the original title?

Answer: Orinoco Flow

"Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)" reached number 24 in the US. The Orinoco is both a river in Venezuela and the studio at which Enya recorded this song.

The song has been used in a US commercial for Volkswagen and has also seen a resurrection of sorts by the group Celtic Woman with their own arrangement.

3. In 1984, George Michael of Wham! released this melancholy, worldwide number one hit song about a lover's cheating being discovered after some casual gossip. In the chorus, the lover regretted, "I'm never gonna dance again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm. Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool." What is this song?

Answer: Careless Whisper

I hope the "casual gossip" helped you out. "Careless Whisper" has a very recognizable saxophone riff which Michael says he came up with while boarding a bus on the way home from work.

"I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you."

4. The English band, The Kinks, released this song in 1965. It repeats the lyrics, "And he's oh, so good, And he's oh, so fine, And he's oh, so healthy, In his body and his mind." What kind of dignified man is this song title about?

Answer: A Well Respected Man

The lyrics continue,

"He's a well respected man about town,
Doing the best things so conservatively."

The song "A Well Respected Man" only charted up to number 13 in the US, but still gets regular airplay on "classic rock" radio stations.

I hope the "dignified man" hint was of some help.

5. This song was released as a single in 1967 by the band Buffalo Springfield. The song's title is nowhere to be found in the lyrics which go, "I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down." What's this priceless song's title?

Answer: For What It's Worth

"For What It's Worth" is a song written by Stephen Stills. It peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. All the incorrect answers are contained in lines from the song.

"There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there,
Telling me I got to beware.
I think it's time we stop, children,
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down."

The hint, "priceless" may have been subtle, but it's better than nothing!

6. This 1979 song's catchy lyrics, "This ain't no party. This ain't no disco, This ain't no fooling around" give little help towards guessing the song's title. What embattled Talking Heads song is this?

Answer: Life During Wartime

"Life During Wartime" was released on the Talking Heads' LP, "Fear of Music". Its lyrics continue with:

"No time for dancing, or lovey dovey.
I ain't got time for that now."

The lyrics appear to be about someone having gone underground during a (probably civil) war.

Did "embattled" help you at all?

7. This 1974 number one hit by John Denver was composed to his then-wife as he was riding a ski lift while skiing in Colorado. The lyrics bring forth a sense of natural beauty: "You fill up my senses like a night in the forest like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain..." What is the name of this song?

Answer: Annie's Song

The lyrics continue:

"like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again."

"Annie's Song" was written and recorded by John Denver. It was his second number 1 US hit, and also went to number 1 in the UK.

8. Stevie Wonder released this song on his 1976 album, "Songs in the Key of Life." It starts off with: "Music is a world within itself With a language we all understand With an equal opportunity For all to sing, dance and clap their hands" It has several repeats of: "You can feel it all over, You can feel it all over people" which are of little help in identifying this royal hit's actual title. What song is this?

Answer: Sir Duke

This song, which topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, was written about Duke Ellington. The lyrics also mention Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Glenn Miller and Louis Armstrong.

"Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all, Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose"

"Royal" was kind of a weak hint, but a hint nonetheless.

9. This song was released in 1971 on an album with the same name. It's about a sailor saying goodbye to a loved one as his vessel prepares to depart on a three-year whale hunt. "Goodbye, little Robin-marie. Don't try following Me. Don't cry, little Robin-marie, 'cause you know I'm coming home soon" What's the title of this New England whaler's song?

Answer: Nantucket Sleighride

Mountain's "Nantucket Sleighride" was a popular song in the 1970s, especially on more "progressive" rock music radio stations, though it never significantly charted.

"My ship's leaving on a three-year tour
The next tide will take us from shore
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
On a search for the mighty sperm whale"

By the way, "Andrea Gail" was a commercial fishing ship lost in the north Atlantic during the so-called "Perfect Storm" of 1991. The other two incorrect answers are other Mountain album titles.

I hope the "New England" hint wasn't too subtle.

10. This song by The Band had lyrics which included the lines: "Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, and (and) (and) you can put the load right on me." What's is this burdensome song's title?

Answer: The Weight

"The Weight" was written by Robbie Robertson and recorded by Canadian-American rock band "The Band" on their 1968 album, "Music from Big Pink". The opening lyrics of the song are:

"I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, and, 'No!', was all he said."

So, did "burdensome" help you out?
