Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 1969 The Allman Brothers released one of their biggest hits. Name the song with the first verse that goes like this: "I been run down I been lied to And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool She took all my money Wrecked my new car Now she's with one of my good-time buddies Drinkin' in some cross-town bar"?

Answer: Whipping Post

While the studio version of the was song quite popular when it came out in 1969, the live rendition of it was even better. Featured on the "At the Filmore East" album, it ran just under 23 minutes. With multiple solos and changing tempo, the song ends with short thrashing finish.

2. The Eagles song "The King of Hollywood" is about Clark Gable.

Answer: False

Released in 1979 on "The Long Run" album, it's a song about the decadence of Hollywood producers. With a haunting melody and suggestive lyrics, it is considered by many fans to be the most underrated Eagles song. (I highly recommend this song to every Eagles fan.)

3. According to The Beatles, what did Maxwell have that was silver?

Answer: hammer

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was recorded in 1969 without John Lennon because he hated the song. In 1978 Steve Martin performed the song as Maxwell Edison in the movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

4. On The Doors' debut album, how were we told to do to get to the other side?

Answer: Break on Through

Released in 1967, "Break on Through (to the Other Side)", was not a success on the charts, only reaching number 126 in the U.S., but it has since become a signature song.

5. What is the next line following these lyrics: "I have climbed the highest mountain I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you"?

Answer: But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was U2's second consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number one single, the other being "With or Without You". It was released in 1987 on their album "The Joshua Tree". (The three wrong answers are first lines from different verses in the song.)

6. "Southern Man" is a protest song that was released by Neil Young in 1970. What is it a protest of?

Answer: Southern racism

"Southern Man" is a protest of the treatment of slaves by southern plantation owners, and by extension, of modern racism. "Sweet Home Alabama" was written in response to the song by Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1972. The second verse follows:

"I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks
Southern man
when will you
pay them back
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?"?

7. In the song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, what was the white knight doing?

Answer: talking backwards

Grace Slick wrote the song, along with "Somebody to Love", before joining the group. They were both recorded in 1967 and released on the "Surrealistic Pillow" album.

8. In 1977, the group Boston released "Rock and Roll Band", which tells the story of a band trying to make it big. What city was the band from?

Answer: Boston

The Boston-based group Boston, recorded the song "Rock and Roll Band" and released it on the album "Boston". It tells about the struggles of a fictional band that finally hits it big.

"Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road and tryin' to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street"

9. Which of the following is false about the song "Black Magic Woman"?

Answer: Soundtrack of film "Practical Magic"
