Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Seal's first album featured two huge singles, but only one had any large success in the United States. Which was the only Top Ten U.S. single from Seal's first album?

Answer: Crazy

All the other choices were released with moderate success in the United Kingdom, but none charted in the U.S.

2. A #1 hit for Seal in the U.K., "Killer" was featured in the opening credits of what 1990's boxing-themed movie?

Answer: Gladiator

This was not Russell Crowe's Oscar-winning "Gladiator", this was a low-budget film featuring Brian Dennehy and Cuba Gooding Jr.

3. Seal's second album bears what striking resemblance to his first album?

Answer: The titles of the albums are the same.

While Seal aficionados (and record store owners) referred to the two albums as Seal I and Seal II, Seal took a cue from Peter Gabriel and self-titled both albums with no Roman numerals to tell them apart.

4. Seal gave permission for the Grammy-winning "Kiss From a Rose" to be used on the soundtrack of a 1995 movie. Which movie?

Answer: Batman Forever

It played in the movie over part of the credits. Seal used parts of the movie "Batman Forever" in the music video for "Kiss From a Rose".

5. Which of these songs from the album "Seal II" did NOT make the Top 40 in the United States?

Answer: Dreaming in Metaphors

You can also find the curious "Dreaming in Metaphors" on 2005's "Live in Paris" CD and DVD.

6. Seal covered which band on an American Top Ten single from the movie "Space Jam"?

Answer: Steve Miller Band

The song was "Fly Like an Eagle".

7. Seal had three Top Ten American singles from "Seal II". How many did he have from his third album, "Humans Being"?

Answer: zero

Seal's third album was widely panned as average. This didn't encourage many Seal fans to run out and get it, as nobody got excited about it one way or the other.

8. The album "Seal IV" was released in what year?

Answer: 2003

Two Top 100 American Singles came from this album, "Waiting for You" and "Love's Divine". Thankfully he also put the Roman Numeral IV on this one to distinguish it from I and II.

9. Seal did a version of a Jimi Hendrix song for the soundtrack to the movie, "Set it Off". He also performed it on his "Live in Paris" DVD. What Hendrix song did he do?

Answer: Hey Joe

"Where you goin' with that gun in your hand" never struck me as a lyric delivered from the usually inspirational sounding Seal, but it worked well.

10. Seal's latest album, "Soul", is unique in the fact that:

Answer: It contains no original Seal songs.

"Soul" is an album of remakes from the Soul era of the 60's and 70's. Some of the tracks he does are "A Change is Gonna Come", "Stand By Me", and "People Get Ready".
