Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'doo be doo be doo ... without exemption ...'

Answer: 'My Way'

Possibly the only use of the word 'exemption' in a song.
2. 'La la la la ... plush velvet seats ...'

Answer: 'Pink Cadillac'

Natalie Cole underwent an image change a few years back, swapping jazzier numbers like 'Pink Cadillac' for ballads reminiscent of her father, Nat King Cole. These included a duet featuring her voice and the recorded voice of the late Nat, which some people (myself included) found more than a little creepy.
3. 'woh woh ... gun in your hand ...'

Answer: 'Hey Joe'

The late Jimi Hendrix. Note to self - I wonder whether it would be tasteless to do a quiz about how famous rock stars died.
4. ' ... ho ha ... heart ... ho ha ... head ... wa ... hi .. now ...'

Answer: 'Babylon'

The actual lyrics to this David Gray song are apparently 'Let go your heart ... let go your head ...', although if you can identify them from the record you've a better ear from me. I've no idea what the 'wa hi now' bit is supposed to be.
5. 'wa na na wa na na ... The Ace of Spades ... The Ace of Spades'

Answer: 'The Ace of Spades'

Bit obvious really. I'd be surprised if Motorhead themselves know what the other words are.
6. ' ... One of these early mornings ... you're gonna be ... wapa yo sleepy aaaahs'

Answer: 'Mustang Sally'

I'm betraying my ignorance, in that I don't know who did the original of this song - I only know the 'Commitments' version. Sorry.
7. ' la la ... desert ... can't remember your name ... cause they're ain't no-one la la give you no pain ... la la la la la la la ...'

Answer: 'A Horse with No Name'

Perhaps a bit unfair to choose a song where the actual chorus is 'La la la la la la.'
8. 'ba ba ba da sunshine ... ba da ba da ... moonlight ... ba ba ba da good times ...'

Answer: 'Blame it on the Boogie'

The Jacksons, in happier days.
9. 'Ba boy da boy dibbada angel boy inna doorway boy awasa lipstick boy'

Answer: 'Born Slippy'

As far as I can make out, the above are the actual words.
10. 'Ahaaaaah .... there is nothing we can do ...'

Answer: 'Knowing Me Knowing You'

An Abba song, to send you home singing.
