From Quiz
Pulling Out The Musical Stops

Answer: Freddie Mercury, Queen

Written by Freddie Mercury for the 1978 album "Jazz", the song reached number nine on the Official UK Singles Charts. It reached number seven on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts. It was written by Mercury while he was living in Switzerland and enjoying the hedonistic delights of sex, drugs and rock and roll. In a 2011 radio interview, bandmate Brian May said: "I thought it was a lot of fun, but I did have an undercurrent feeling of, 'aren't we talking about danger here,' because we were worried about Freddie at this point." The song went on to become popular at weddings. In 2017, a British website put it at number three in its top five.

2. Which British Invasion group that featured a future member of Crosby, Stills and Nash hit the US Top Ten in 1966 with "Stop Stop Stop"?

"Stop Stop Stop" was the only song by The Hollies to feature Tony Hicks playing banjo. The song was a hit in several countries and reached Number Seven in the US. Graham Nash left The Hollies in late 1968 and headed for California where he teamed up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills. Terry Sylvester of The Swinging Blue Jeans replaced Nash.

From Quiz Don't !

Answer: Searchers

Answer: The Supremes

That line "Stop! in the name of love" supposedly came from an experience Lamont Dozier, the co-writer, had with a girlfriend.

It was a number three in Canada and number seven in the United Kingdom.

From Quiz Let's 'Stop' to Check Some Pop Songs

Answer: The Shirelles

"Soldier Boy" was the second and final Number One hit for the Shirelles. "Stop the Music" was released the same year and made it to Number 36. Shirley Owens was a founding member of the Passaic, New Jersey, group that also included Doris Coley, Addie "Micki" Harris and Beverly Lee. They formed in 1957 for a talent show and were signed by Scepter Records. In 1958 they first hit the US charts with "I Met Him On a Sunday (Ronde-Ronde)". Two years later the group topped the charts with "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". "One Fine Day" was a 1963 hit from The Chiffons. "He's a Rebel" was a 1962 Number One single by The Crystals. In 1961 "Please Mr. Postman" by The Marvelettes topped the US charts.

10. Journey first made this hit famous in the 1980s, and the song made a comeback when the "Glee" cast sang the song in the late 2000s. What wildly popular hit is this?

From Quiz Don't Stop the Music!

Answer: Don't Stop Believin'

"Don't Stop Believin'" was released on Journey's 1981 album "Escape". The song gained a lot of popularity then, and even more popularity when several television shows (including "Glee") used it in the mid- to late 2000s. During the 21st century, its popularity became so high that the song was considered the best-selling digitally downloaded song that was released in the 20th century. That's quite an honor! I could have used "Don't Be Down on Me Baby", but I like "Don't Stop Believin'" so much more.

11. "Don't Say Nothing Bad (About My Baby)" was a Top 10 charting hit for this sweet group of girls. Can you name them?

15. Which duo had a Top Ten US hit in 1964 with "Stop and Think it Over"?

From Quiz Let's 'Stop' to Check Some Pop Songs

Answer: Dale and Grace

Dale Houston and Grace Broussard teamed up for two US Top ten hits. They topped the charts in 1963 with "I'm Leaving It Up to You" and followed up with the Number Eight "Stop and Think It Over" the following year. Houston was performing in a club in Ferriday, Louisiana, when an executive from a record label approached him to consider forming a duet with a female. He paired up with Grace and they began practicing and searching for material. When they sang a song released in 1957 by Don and Dewey called "I'm Leaving it Up to You"- it was released locally by Michelle Records and became a regional hit. When it was distributed by the Jaime label it charted nationally. The pair toured with Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars and followed with "Stop and Think it Over". Paul and Paula also enjoyed Number One success in 1963 with "Hey Paula". Brother and sister Nino Tempo and April Stevens topped the charts with "Deep Purple" (1963). In 1962 Dick and Dee Dee reached Number Two with "The Mountain's High".

It reached number one on the Hot Country Songs chart, and even became quite successful on the pop charts. "Don't Mention Memphis" was another Tim McGraw option, but it's not nearly as well-known.

17. "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" was the request in this 1964 hit. Who got this one onto the charts?

From Quiz "Don't" Take This Quiz

Answer: Gerry and the Pacemakers

It was Gerry and the Pacemakers, led by Gerry Marsden, who cut the track "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and took it into the Top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts reaching a peak of number four on the charts. It was their highest charting U.S. hit. It also was a number six hit in the U.K. but they already had three number one tunes there during 1963.

18. What seemingly mellow song also has a command as the title? Its positive message says that no matter how bad things get, you should look on the bright side.

From Quiz Commanding Songs

From Quiz Don't !

Answer: Buckinghams

20. Which band teamed up with Stevie Nicks in 1981 for the single "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"?

From Quiz Let's 'Stop' to Check Some Pop Songs

Answer: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and Mike Campbell wrote "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" for release by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. It was originally recorded for their "Hard Promises" LP. It was then arranged for Nicks to team up with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the song became the first single release from Nicks' "Bella Donna" album. The release went to Number Three in the US charts. Stevie Nicks asked Petty to produce the "Bella Donna" album but he declined the offer. Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio charted "A Woman Needs Love" in 1981. Franke and The Knockouts charted with "Sweetheart". "Fire Lake" was a 1980 single by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band.

22. "Don't Worry Baby" was a minor hit for the Beach Boys in 1964. Who covered the song in 1977 and made it a Top 20 hit all over again?

From Quiz "Don't" Take This Quiz

Answer: B.J. Thomas

"Don't Worry Baby" was co-written by Brian Wilson and first appeared as a B-side to the Beach Boys' first number one single called "I Get Around". However, with the popularity of the group at the time, the song still managed to hit number 24 on the Billboard charts in its own right. B.J. Thomas covered the song in 1977 and had a Top 20 hit with the song as well, reaching a peak of number 17 on the charts. The Beach Boys version has endured over time and become something of a classic. It is ranked on "Rolling Stone Magazine's" list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" at number 167. Pretty good for a B-side.

23. What Simple Minds' song includes the lyric "Will you recognize me?", which sums up the spirit of the title of the song?

From Quiz Commanding Songs

Answer: Don't You Forget About Me

This song has definite overtones of tragedy, about lovers who are torn apart, and need to re-find each other.

From Quiz Let's 'Stop' to Check Some Pop Songs

Answer: Sammy Hagar

"Can't Stop Lovin' You" was featured often on Van Halen's 1995 "Ambulance Tour" with Sammy Hagar fronting the band. It was the third and most successful single from the band's "Balance" album, peaking at Number thirty. David Lee Roth became the front man for Van Halen in the seventies after the band rented a sound system from him. The group catapulted to fame in the seventies with several hits with Roth singing lead. Roth left the band in 1985. Patty Smyth from the band Scandal was offered the position of lead vocalist but turned the offer down. Sammy Hagar was enjoying a successful solo career but accepted the offer to join Van Halen. The first album featuring Hagar was the successful "5150". Hagar left the band in 1996 and after a brief reunion with David Lee Roth Gary Cherone from Extreme became the band's vocalist.

27. The Four Seasons used a pseudonym to record "Don't Think Twice" in 1965. I wonder if you can tell me the name. What is it?

From Quiz "Don't" Take This Quiz

Answer: The Wonder Who

The Four Seasons were set to do an album based on songs written by Bob Dylan, but things weren't going too well. As a joke, Frankie Valli sang "Don't Think Twice" in his trademark falsetto voice and wouldn't you know it, an executive at the record company heard a tape of the song and wanted to release it. For legal reasons, the song couldn't be released as either The Four Seasons, or Frankie Valli, so they came up with the name The Wonder Who? Well, the joke as they called it got to number 12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts in late 1965.

28. What Devo hit begins with "Crack that whip" and contains over ten commands throughout the song with this vaguely sadomasochistic title and a very weird music video.
