Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Driving out a long country road listening to some classic rock, I tapped my toe in tempo to the bass rifts throughout Pink Floyd's "Money". What other sound can you hear throughout the song and after the line, "think I'll buy me a football team".
2. I stuck my tongue out and got my hand all "horn-sign" ready as I head-banged through AC/DC's, "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)". What's that sound after he says, "Those about to rock - FIRE!"
3. I changed the channel to "80s on 8" and started picking out a whole plethora of sounds in "Rock the Casbah," by The Clash. Right about the two-minute mark of the song, as Joe Strummer says, "the in-crowd says cool," an odd monophonic sound is heard in the background. What was that?
4. I love me some Beatles, and "A Day In the Life", is one of my favorite jams. After the melodic intro and first verse, it sounds like they are playing the orchestra in rewind (they probably are), and then you hear something just before the lyrics, "Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head." What is it?
5. I rolled the window down and fluffed my hair, "working it" as "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran started playing. You would too because of all the noise at the start of this song. What is that sound?
6. Listening to Duran Duran primed my eardrums for the next hot hit, Billy Squier's "Everybody Wants You", which also starts with a sound. Its a good thing I'm wearing head protection, what's that sound?
7. I flipped on over to Mix 99.9 and caught Madonna's "Hung Up". This grand dame of pop never ceases to amaze me. The whole song has a monotonous background noise that begins and flies all the way through. What is that sound?
8. Next up is Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice". It has a lot of noise in it, toe-tapping, tap dancing, and vocal rewinding through the lobby of a grand hotel. However, right in the middle of the chorus, "You can go with this, Or you can go with that," there is a single sound, what's that noise?
9. I'd finally tired of that radio station, so I switched to an alternative rock station. Turned the volume up on Jane's Addiction, "Been Caught Stealing" but nearly scared the old lady and her poodle in the car beside me because of the sounds at the very beginning of the song. What's that sound?
10. Radiohead's "Karma Police", was playing, and the intro sounds soothed me. You hear some shoes walking, but that's not what was making me sleepy. What nature sounds do you hear?
