Music A-C: 'C' Trivia Questions

1. Carajo was the first Argentinian band to take on a fresh subgenre of metal music that was very prominent during the late '90s and early '00s. What was that genre, known for mixing heavy riffs with hip hop beats and rapped verses?

From Quiz
Carajo - Argentinian Band

Answer: Nu (new) Metal

Carajo was formed by singer-bassist Marcelo "Corvata" Corvalan, drummer Andres "Andy" Vilanova and guitarist Hernan "Tery" Langer. Argentina had its fair share of successful metal bands such as Rata Blanca, Hermetica, and V8 among others, but the genre was dwindling a bit in the late '90s. One of the leading bands of that time, A.N.I.M.A.L. (acronym of "Acosados Nuestros Indios Murieron Al Luchar", meaning "Harassed, Our Indians Died While Fighting"), of which Corvalan and Vilanova were part, had a few crossover songs that were sung in rapper style by Corvalan himself, but they never truly embraced the genre. When both departed the band, they recruited Langer and recorded their first demo, containing three songs with clear Nu Metal elements.

Answer: Modelling

A very attractive lady, Conway had little difficulty in finding work as a model, an industry that employed her between the ages of eighteen and twenty three. She made notable appearances as the face for Big M (flavoured milk) and Crunchie (Cadbury chocolate bar). An opportunity to be "the" Big M girl passed her by when she refused to shave her armpits. For a period of time her nude backside was used to promote Bluegrass jeans, with the slogan "Get yours into Bluegrass". In 1980 Conway joined the band Benders, who'd previously released the LP "Picnic at Oakleigh Rotunda" (1979), but the stay was short-lived, with the band breaking up the following year.

18. One of their first numbers was "Brandweer". When downloading the lyrics, Dutch speaking people notice that the title contains a typo: the refrain contains the sentence "ik brand weer van verlangen". What does this sentence translate to?

From Quiz Clouseau - The Band, Not the Inspector

Answer: I burn again with desire

The song title gives the impression of an ode to fire fighters. But the refrain is the cry of someone devoured by lust and desire. Clouseau has published this song only in Dutch, and I've translated the lyrics: both a correct version (based upon the refrain) as a red herring (based upon the title of the song). "Eye of the Tiger" was the greatest hit for the American band Survivor. "Smoke on the Water" was a major hit for Deep Purple.
