Rock Your Baby Again Trivia Quiz

Answer: Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi's 1986 album, "Slippery When Wet" was a huge success, giving the band two number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in USA in "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer" (both 1986). They followed this with "New Jersey" (1988) and repeated the feat of a pair of number one singles as "Bad Medicine" (1988) and "I'll Be There for You" (1989) both topped the Billboard Hot 100 in USA. "Born To Be My Baby" (1988) was the track released in between these two chart toppers and although it didn't get to number one, it still performed very well, peaking at number three on the same chart.

Answer: My Chemical Romance

Way is a founding member of My Chemical Romance and released his debut solo album in 2014 titled "Hesitant Alien", which was a top 20 hit on the Billboard 200 in USA as well as charting well on many rock charts worldwide.
"Baby You're A Haunted House" (2018) was a stand alone track, released for Halloween, and featured Way's bother and fellow MCR band mate Mikey along with Aquabats' guitarist Ian Fowles.

Answer: KKK

"The KKK Took My Baby Away" (1981) was a single released from Ramones' album "Pleasant Dreams" (1981) but neither the album or the single performed especially well in charts.
The album was recorded in a state of much tension as Johnny Ramone had started a relationship with Joey Ramone's girlfriend, Linda Daniele, and "The KKK Took My Baby Away" (1981), written by Joey, is believed by many sources to be an unsubtle acknowledgement of their relationship.

Answer: Badfinger

Badfinger were a Welsh band, formed in Swansea in 1961 and are perhaps best remembered for their hits "Come and Get It" (1970) and "Without You" (1970) which was later covered by Harry Nilsson in 1972 and Mariah Carey in 1994.
"Baby Blue" (1972) was their fourth consecutive (and final) top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA, but didn't chart in the UK until it was used in the hit TV show, "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013) in the final episode of the show.

Answer: The Fratellis

"Costello Music" (2006) was a hugely successful debut album and yielded the single "Chelsea Dagger" (2006) which has been adopted by many teams and can be heard at sporting stadiums around the world.
"Here We Stand" (2008) was not quite as successful and perhaps rode on the coat tails of "Costello Music" (2006) to some extent, but it did still peak at number five on the UK album chart and give the band two more big hits, "Mistress Mabel" (2008) which stalled just outside the top 20 on the UK chart and "Look Out Sunshine!" (2008) which was a number one in their native Scotland.

Answer: Stevie Ray Vaughan

"Love Struck Baby" (1983) was the first track released from Stevie Ray Vaughan's very impressive debut album, "Texas Flood" (1983) and was written about the night that Vaughan and his wife started living together
The track contains lyrics such as "Sparks start flyin' every time we meet, Let me tell you baby you knock me off my feet, Your kisses trip me up they're so dog gone sweet, Ya know baby you can't be beat" and was a fan favourite at live shows right up until Vaughan's untimely death in a helicopter accident in 1990.

Answer: Led Zeppelin

Due to the death of drummer John Bonham, "Coda" (1982) contained no newly recorded material and was almost a compilation album, made up of live tracks and outtakes of songs that were rejected for inclusion on their originally intended albums.
Nevertheless, like all other Led Zeppelin albums it was huge hit, although along with the band's debut album, "Led Zeppelin" (1969) it shares the dubious distinction of being a Led Zeppelin album that did not make number one on the UK album chart.

Answer: Creedence Clearwater Revival

Pagan babies was a term used to refer to unbaptised children who had not been taught about God and songwriter John Fogerty drew upon this from his memories of his Catholic school education, but the final lyrics had nothing to do with charitable causes and much to do with trying to further a relationship with a brown eyed beauty.
Along with most of CCR's albums, "Pendulum" (1970) was a huge hit and the only single released from the album, "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" (1971) remains a hugely popular song, many years after its release.

Answer: Car manufacturers

The big three are Ford, Chrysler and General Motors and in the song Jack White berates them for their lack of forward planning and building products with artificially limited useful lives.
"The Big Three Killed My Baby" (1999) was a track from the band's debut self titled album and a live version of the track was included on their debut video album, "Under Blackpool Lights" (2004).

Answer: Stone Temple Pilots

Taken from the album, "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" (1996), "Big Bang Baby" (1996) not only performed well on rock charts, it also charted on national charts, including being a top 20 hit in Canada on the RPM chart and a top 40 hit in Australia on the ARIA chart.
The rock charts were where it excelled though, especially in the USA, where it became the band's third consecutive track to peak at number two on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.
