Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Guitarist Johnny Marr joined what band briefly after the Smiths broke up?

Answer: The The

Marr went on to form Electronic with New Order's Bernard Sumner after his stint with The The.

2. Has Elvis Presley ever been a cover star on a Smiths' single?

Answer: Yes

He graced the cover of "Shoplifters Of The World Unite".

3. What Hollywood star graced the cover for the single "Bigmouth Strikes Again"?

Answer: James Dean

Morrissey always had a thing for James Dean and even wrote a book about him in his early days.

4. "The World Won't Listen" was an album released in Europe. Most of the cuts made it onto what US album release?

Answer: Louder Than Bombs

The compilation "Louder Than Bombs" also included tracks from earlier Smiths albums, like "Hatful Of Hollow".

5. What was superimposed on the soldier's helmet on the cover of "Meat Is Murder"?

Answer: "Meat Is Murder"

Since the words were not actually written on the helmet, they had to do a little doctoring to get it on there.

6. What tour was the live album "Rank" recorded from?

Answer: "The Queen Is Dead"

There have been numerous Smiths compilations released since their break up. "Rank" was the first compilation and the only live album (as of 2002) released after the 1987 break up. Record companies have to milk them for all they can, eh?

7. In the gatefold photo for the live album "Rank", what are the concert fans fighting over?

Answer: Morrissey's shirt

Morrissey is known for losing his shirt at concerts. Although he comes off as shy in his music, he's anything but.

8. The acclaimed British music magazine NME named The Smiths as their most influential band of all time in their 50th year anniversary issue. Who was second?

Answer: The Beatles

Wow, a lot of good bands came out of the UK and The Smiths ranked number one. Good stuff.

9. What Smiths song was featured on the "Pretty In Pink" soundtrack?

Answer: "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want"

I think the song was poor Duckie's (Jon Cryer) theme song. He wanted Molly Ringwald's character (Andie) so bad. She ended up with Andrew McCarthy. What's up with that?

10. What is Morrissey's full name?

Answer: Steven Patrick Morrissey

It's been listed as Steven Patrick Morrissey and Stephen Patrick Morrissey in his bios.
