Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. LIVING ISLAND

Answer: Living on an Island

The British rock band Status Quo released the single "Living on an Island" in 1979. It was an autobiographical ballad written by lead singer Rick Parfitt about his time living on the Isle of Jersey as a tax exile. Taxes in the UK in the 1970s were so extortionate that many high earners chose to take up residency elsewhere to avoid them. The song chronicles his loneliness and isolation as well as his partying when his friend comes to the isle.

This question was exiled into the quiz by Phoenix Rising member tazman6619.
2. C L I M B

Answer: Climb Down

"Climb Down" is a track on the third studio album by Pittsburgh band The Clarks. The album, "Love Gone Sour, Suspicion, and Bad Debt" was released in 1994 and it proved to be a watershed album for the Pennsylvania rockers. They had formed their own label to record it, their first single off the disc, "Cigarette", became one of their best live songs and it brought them to the attention of the major labels, culminating in a two album deal with MCA Records.

A descending pollucci19 from Phoenix Rising levelled out to bring you this question.
3. R E W O P

Answer: Power Up

"Power Up" is rock band AC/DC's seventeenth studio album. It was released in 2020. Three members who left the band around the time of AC/DC's Rock or Bust World Tour (2015-2016) returned to create this album. "Power Up" was well-received and won awards at the 2021 ARIA Music Awards and the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards. The album was also nominated for Best Rock Album at the 64th Grammy Awards scheduled in April 2022.

4. XBXRXIXDXGXEXS

Answer: Crossing Bridges

Helena Zetova is a Czech singer who first came to notice when she sang the Phil Collins song "Against All Odds" in an amateur singing contest called "Do Re Mi" in 2000. The following year she formed an all-girl band called Black Milk and would release two albums over the next two years. In 2005 the band dissolved and Helena released her first solo album. "Crossing Bridges" was released as a single in 2007 and it would become the title track of her second solo album, released the following year.

Phoenix Rising's pollucci19 walked over troubled waters to bring you this question.
5. CCRUISE

Answer: Sea Cruise

Written by Huey "Piano" Smith in 1958, it was recorded that same year by Smith with his band the Clowns. While the band was on tour the studio replaced Smith's vocals with those of nineteen year old Frankie Ford to give the song a "younger" sound. Smith was not impressed. He was even less impressed when Ford altered some of the lyrics so that he could also gain a writing credit for the number.

The song has since been covered numerous times and the list of artists who have done so includes the likes of Dion, Cliff Richard, The Beach Boys, John Fogerty and Status Quo. Believe it or not, it was even covered by a band called the Seacruisers in 2020.

Phoenix Rising member VegemiteKid rocked and rolled this question into this quiz during an unpleasantly rough cruise.
6. SARKAW

Answer: Arkansas

The solution of Ark in Saw sounds like the US state of Arkansas.

The song "Arkansas" is a southern stomp released by Chris Stapleton in 2020. It also appears on his album "Starting Over", recorded in the same year. The song was inspired by a road trip the singer took from Oklahoma City to his ranch in Tennessee, driving a new Porsche 911 that was a birthday present from his wife. The track was co-written with his good friend Mike Campbell, guitarist for the Heartbreakers, Tom Petty's former band.

This question was created by Phoenix Rising's pollucci19 who couldn't get inspired to write a song about falling off his bike.
7. WATER DAM

Answer: Water Over the Dam

"Water Over the Dam" is a song by folk singer Celia Evans that appears on her 2010 album "Hardwood". Evans made a name for herself creating songs rich in imagery that celebrate life in the Adirondacks. "Hardwood" is her third album, following "Yellow Balloon" (2003) and "So Many Seasons" (2006). She would release a fourth album "The Road" in 2012.

Phoenix Rising's pollucci19 grabbed an inner tube and flew over the dam to bring you some first hand experience for this question. Actually he didn't really do that... but we'll just let him continue believing that it's true.
8. BLUEU

Answer: Blue Bayou

This is the second of two that we felt the solution may not have been obvious - Blue is by the letter U.

"Blue Bayou" was written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson and recorded by Orbison in 1963. It became an international hit for the singer. A cover version by Linda Ronstadt in 1977 became a bigger hit for her and has since become her signature song. It has since appeared in numerous movies and been covered by many other artists.

This lyrical question was sung into the quiz by Phoenix Rising member tazman6619, who knows he can't sing but does it anyway.
9. T I H S I D

Answer: Dish it Up

"Dish It Up" is a witty number from Minneapolis punk band The Suburbs. The lyrics are instilled with a dose of paranoia about the upper class looking down on the band. The track appears on the band's second studio album, 1981's "Credit in Heaven", one of the band's most ambitious albums, with 17 songs spread over two discs. Formed in 1977, at the height of the punk scene, the band, despite their spiky sound, walked a fine line between being arty and pretentious. One critic described their sound as being a "mildly sinister mixture of Talking Heads, Roxy Music, and Pere Ubu".

This question was dished up by Phoenix Rising's pollucci19.
10. HEATEARSVEN

Answer: Tears in Heaven

"Tears in Heaven" is a song about the death of Eric Clapton's four-year-old son after he fell from a window of a high-rise apartment. It was written by Clapton in collaboration with Will Jennings and included in the soundtrack from the 1991 film "Rush". The song won Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 1993 Grammy Awards. It also made the 2004 list of Rolling Stone magazine's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Following the death of his son, Eric Clapton advocated childproofing windows and staircases. The songs "Dear Mr. Clapton" by Dana Key and "Since I Lost You" by Genesis were also written in response to the boy's death.
