Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. First guests on the elevator are six gentlemen, who are obviously confused because they think that they are Doors. They definitely want to go up, but what reason do they give?

Answer: Been Down So Long

"Been Down So Long" was an excellent blues track from The Doors' "L.A. Woman" album in 1971. The lyrics reference the depression that Jim Morrison was feeling at the time due to the possibility of a prison sentence for indecent exposure. Morrison didn't serve jail time thanks to a $50,000 bond and died in never fully explained circumstances just three months after the release of the album.

Answer: I'm Going Down

A single released from Bruce's huge 1984 album "Born In The U.S.A.", "I'm Going Down" didn't perform as well worldwide as the other singles from the album, despite peaking at number nine on the US Billboard charts. The other, better received singles included the title track as well as "Dancing In The Dark", "Glory Days" and "My Hometown."

3. So, seven men in the elevator now, but who is this pretty lady getting in? It's Paula Abdul looking very 1988. She is very direct when I ask where she would like to go. What is her reply?

Answer: Straight Up

"Straight Up" from Abdul's album "Forever Your Girl" was a top ten hit in ten different countries. "Forever Your Girl" was Abdul's debut album and prior to recording it she was a successful choreographer for stars such as Duran Duran, Janet Jackson and oddly, ZZ Top.

Answer: Don't Bring Me Down

Electric Light Orchestra's "Discovery" album from 1979, gave us hits such as "Diary of Horace Wimp", "Shine A Little Love" and the worldwide smash "Don't Bring Me Down." "Discovery" was the first ELO album without a string section and interestingly, "Don't Bring Me Down" was played as a wake up call to astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Columbia.

Answer: 25th Floor

"25th Floor" was a track from Patti's 1978 album "Easter" which showcased her at her punk finest. The album also included one of her best known songs, "Because The Night", which was co-written by another elevator occupant, Bruce Springsteen.

Answer: Sugar We're Goin' Down

"Sugar We're Goin' Down" was taken from the album "From Under The Cork Tree" and featured a video involving a boy with deer antlers growing from his head and a man with deer legs and dealt with social acceptance.

Answer: Movin' On Up

"Movin' On Up" was the theme song for TV show "The Jeffersons" which ran for 11 seasons. Oren Waters has worked with Janet and Michael Jackson as well as Paul Simon and Neil Diamond but has also appeared in several movies such as "Norbit", "Fame" and "Vampire In Brooklyn" in a singing character role. Ja'net Dubois is best known for her six seasons in TV show "Good Times" in the mid to late 70s but also played Momma Bosley in the 2003 movie "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."

8. Next on the elevator are Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt of Status Quo. Both of them reply when I ask where we're going. What do I get told?

Answer: Down Down

Although Quo were never big in America, this track from 1975's "On The Level" album reached number one in the UK. Status Quo formed in 1967 and are still performing in 2018 with Francis Rossi as the only remaining original member.

Answer: Get Up

50 Cent released "Get Up" in 2008 as a digital download only but it still managed to peak at number 24 on the UK chart and number 44 on the Billboard in U.S.A. In the song he mentions "California Love" as a tribute to Tupac who he has said in several interviews was a great influence on him. 50 is also a licensed boxing promoter.

Answer: Love In An Elevator

From Aerosmith's album "Pump", and Tyler has said that the lyrics came from an experience he had in a hotel elevator! The video for the song features ex Playboy model Brandi Brandt who was married to Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue.
