Music from TV and Movies Trivia Questions

1. In addition to being on the "Top Gun" soundtrack, what do the songs "Take My Breath Away" and "Danger Zone" have in common?

From Quiz
"I feel the need ..." "... the need for speed!"

Answer: Written specifically for "Top Gun"

After weeding through hundreds of potential songs, the producers of "Top Gun" commissioned Italian composer Giorgio Moroder and American songwriter-musician Tom Whitlock to come up with something that would fit the opening carrier scenes. The duo came up with "Danger Zone". There were rumors that the song was offered to other artists on the Columbia Records label, but eventually Kenny Loggins accepted an offer to record it. The song reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. Co-Producer Jerry Bruckheimer was so pleased with Moroder and Whitlock's efforts on "Danger Zone", he asked for a song to fit the romantic scenes. "Take My Breath Away" became that tune. Moroder asked the band Berlin to record it. "Take My Breath Away" hit number one on the US Billboard Top 100 plus topped the charts in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1987. Jaknginger strummed this question into the Red Crew's team quiz.

2. The music for this 1949 thriller was played entirely on one instrument and the theme song blew up the charts. Harry Lime would have been proud.

From Quiz Off the Beaten Soundtracks

Answer: The Third Man

"The Third Man", set in postwar Vienna, was directed by Carol Reed from a novella by Graham Greene. While Reed was in Vienna in 1948 looking for locations he went to a wine bar where he heard local musician Anton Karas playing the zither. It took some doing, but he finally persuaded Karas to write and perform the music for the film because, as he said, he thought that "Schmaltzy waltzes" wouldn't evoke the city he was set on portraying. The theme was released as a single in 1950 and sat at number one on the Billboard charts for 11 weeks, the longest instrumental ever to have held that position. It also led to a significant boost in zither sales.

3. To cap off their wild night in Tokyo, the gifted Bill Murray, as Bob Harris, takes a shot and then performs a karaoke version of this song in "Lost in Translation". What's the second song he sings during their karaoke fun?

From Quiz The Time of My Life

Answer: More Than This

This 2003 movie by Sofia Coppola is a masterpiece. Set in Tokyo and revolving around two Americans who find each other and form a deep bond, it's a visually stunning movie all about isolation, loneliness and connection. In the Karaoke scene, the protagonists Bob and Charlotte (played by Scarlett Johansson) have had an exciting night out in Tokyo and are at a friend's apartment. Bob first sings "What's So Funny Bout Peace, Love and Understanding", an Elvis Costello song and Charlotte sings "Brass in Pocket", a Pretenders song. Bob then sings "More Than This", a song by Roxy Music, as Charlotte looks on.

4. Which orchestra group performed "The Greatest Video Game Music"?

From Quiz The Greatest Video Game Music

Answer: London Philharmonic Orchestra

The London Philharmonic Orchestra was formed in 1932. The London Philharmonic Orchestra has recorded soundtracks for several movies, including all six films of the "Lord of The Rings" franchise and "Lawrence of Arabia". They released "The Greatest Video Game Music" in 2011 and its sequel album "The Greatest Video Game Music 2" in 2012.

5. Which movie features the song 'The Sound of Silence'?

From Quiz Music in Movies

Answer: The Graduate

This song is by the wonderful Simon and Garfunkel and comes from the film 'The Graduate'. This features Dustin Hoffman as a confused young man during the summer after he graduated from college.

6. Bette Midler brought down the house in the role of a troubled rock star, singing a song that had the same title as the movie. The movie was loosely based on "a Janis Joplin-type" story. Name the song (and the movie)!

From Quiz What Does Purple Rain Mean Anyway?

Answer: The Rose

The song was not written for the movie. Amanda McBroom, the song writer, wrote the song in 1977, and performed it herself for two years. In 1979, Bette Midler recorded the song for the soundtrack of the movie "The Rose." The movie was originally titled "The Pearl" as this was Joplin's nickname, says writer Sabrina-Lee in the article titled "The film, 'The Rose,' a Janis Joplin-type biography, starring Bette Midler, premieres in Hollywood". The movie was "Janis Joplin TYPE" because the family refused to give the rights to Joplin's life story, says Lee, and so the title of the movie was changed to "The Rose."

7. 'Children of the Heavenly King' was sung in the 1942 Academy Award winning movie 'Mrs. Miniver'. Who was Mrs. Miniver?

From Quiz Hymns Sung in Oscar Nominated Hollywood Films - #2

Answer: Unassuming housewife in England during WWII

'Mrs. Miniver' is based on the life of a housewife in rural England during the Second World War. The film was released in 1942, three years after the start of the global conflict. 'Mrs. Miniver' was directed by William Wyler and starred Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. "Based on the 1940 novel 'Mrs. Miniver' by Jan Struther, the film shows how the life of an unassuming British housewife in rural England is touched by World War II," Wikipedia states. "She sees her eldest son go to war, finds herself confronting a German pilot who has parachuted into her idyllic village while her husband is participating in the Dunkirk evacuation, and loses her daughter-in-law as a casualty." 'Mrs. Miniver' won six Academy Awards in 1943 including Best Picture while Greer Garson won for Best Actress and Teresa Wright for Best Supporting Actress. 'Children of the Heavenly King' was written by John Cennick in 1742. The hymn was sung twice in 'Mrs. Miniver' -- at the beginning and end. Cennick was born De­cem­ber 12, 1718, in Read­ing, Eng­land, and served as an itin­er­ant evan­gel­ist. He was associated with John and Charles Wesley, the founders of the Methodist movement in England. Here are the words to 'Children of the Heavenly King': "Children of the heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Savior's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways We are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see. O, ye banished seed, be glad! Christ our Advocate is made; Us to save, our flesh assumes- Brother to our souls becomes. Shout, ye little flock, and blest, You on Jesus' throne shall rest: There your seat is now prepared- There your kingdom and reward. Lift your eyes, ye sons of light, Zion's city is in sight: There our endless home shall be, There our Lord we soon shall see. Fear not, brethren; joyful stand On the borders of your land; Jesus Christ, your Father's Son, Bids you undismayed go on. Lord, obedient we would go, Gladly leaving all below; Only Thou our Leader be; And we will still follow Thee."

8. 'Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming' was sung in a 1970 blockbuster Academy Award winning film starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal. What was the name of the movie?

From Quiz Hymns Sung In Oscar Nominated Hollywood Films

Answer: Love Story

The correct answer is 'Love Story', one of the highest grossing films of all time. Starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal, the script for the romantic drama film was written by Erich Segal, author of the book with the same name. 'Love Story' was nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning for Best Music, Original Score. The words to 'Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming' are derived from a German carol, 'Es ist ein Ros ent­sprung­en', from the 15th Cen­tu­ry. Verses 1 and 2 were trans­lat­ed from Ger­man to Eng­lish by The­o­dore Bak­er in 1894. Meanwhile, Verses 3 and 4 were trans­lat­ed by Har­ri­et Rey­nolds Krauth and Verse 5 was trans­lat­ed by John C. Mat­tes. Here are the words to Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming': "Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming, as men of old have sung. It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter, When half spent was the night. Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind; With Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright, she bore to men a Savior, When half spent was the night. The shepherds heard the story proclaimed by angels bright, How Christ, the Lord of glory was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped and in the manger found Him, As angel heralds said. This Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere; True Man, yet very God, from sin and death He saves us, And lightens every load. O Savior, Child of Mary, who felt our human woe, O Savior, King of glory, who dost our weakness know; Bring us at length we pray, to the bright courts of Heaven, And to the endless day!"

9. The love theme from the movie "Titanic" was played all over the airwaves, ad nauseum if you ask me, when it hit the charts in 1997. Sung by Celine Dion, do you recall the title of the song?

From Quiz Memorable Songs From Memorable Movies

Answer: My Heart Will Go On

Composer James Horner originally intended the music to be instrumental but changed his mind and decided to add lyrics. When he approached director James Cameron with the idea of adding lyrics, Cameron declined. He felt it might make the film too commercial. It wasn't until the composer brought in Will Jennings to pen the lyrics and Cameron heard the finished product that he finally agreed. Getting Celine Dion, then at the top of her career, to sing the song presented another obstacle. She turned the offer down at first. It wasn't until her husband and manager, Rene Angelil, encouraged her to sing it that the song became, dare I say it, a titanic success.

From Quiz Movie Hits From the Rock Era

Answer: Love is a Many Splendored Thing

The Four Aces took "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" to number one. Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster had written "Secret Love" for "Calamity Jane" and were asked to do the theme for a film called "A Many Splendored Thing". The title of the film was later changed to "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" so they had to re-write the theme song. After the final version of the song was composed it was shopped to Nat "King" Cole, Eddie Fisher, Tony Martin, Doris Day and many others who all turned it down. The Pennsylvania-based Four Aces had been recording since 1951 and were about to disband. They recorded the song and after it made number one many of the artists that had turned it down released their own versions. The song saw a resurgence 23 years later in "Grease" as background music on a beach scene. "Autumn Leaves" is from the French film "Les Portes de la Nuit". It reached number one as an instrumental for Roger Williams on October 29, 1955. It has the distinction of being the first instrumental song to reach the number one spot on Billboard. "Wonderland by Night" is from a German movie. Bert Kaempfert took it to number one in 1961. Bert produced the first session ever done by the Beatles when they recorded "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" as the backing band for Tony Sheridan. He signed Sheridan but not the Beatles. "April Love" is the title song to the film of the same name. Pat Boone took it to number one in December, 1957.
