Question 1 of 10

1. GATSBY: Hi, Linkan! Comfy?

LINKAN: As comfortable as I get with you around Gats.

GATSBY: Calm down. I don't bite.

LINKAN: Not yet! I'm afraid you'll start doing that at any moment.

GATSBY: Nah, I'll be nice. The first question I gave you was 'what your favorite song is'. Looks like we both like Billy Joel but I don't think "My Life" was his best tune, and surely not the best song ever. You do though. Which of the following is NOT true about Joel? Hint

He checked himself into a mental hospital once (he was afraid he was nuts).

Billy's "My Life" was used as the theme song to a television show.

He won a Grammy as Best New Artist in 1973.

His second wife was a very successful fashion model.

Question 2 of 10

2. GATSBY: I can't argue with you on this next one. Your favorite band is The Beatles.

LINKAN: Legendary! I'm sure their music will last forever. Who would you have picked, Gats?

GATSBY: Probably The Archies or The Spice Girls...

LINKAN: Now I know you're pulling my leg. Anyway, had they all survived which of the four of them would be the oldest? The Beatles, that is. Hint

Ringo Starr

Paul McCartney

John Lennon

George Harrison

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. LINKAN: I got you, babe.

GATSBY: Unexpectedly that's probably true. Your favorite duo is Sonny and Cher? Why not us, Linkan?

LINKAN: We don't sing!

GATSBY: Well, one of us does sometimes.
To be honest, only one those two sang so well, either. Sonny and Cher had a daughter named Chastity together.

LINKAN: I always wondered where she got that blonde hair. Aside from their offspring the Bonos had another item in their life that has to do with something called 'Chastity'. What? Hint

Sonny wrote Cher a movie to star in called "Chastity". What a stinker! No Oscars for that one.

When Cher moved in with Sonny all she brought along was a few clothes and her beloved cat named Chastity.

Sonny met Cher when she was still a teenager and they started singing together in a little place called The Chastity Lounge in Brooklyn.

When they first started singing (and weren't yet intimate) Cher thought they should call their duo "The Chasity Belt Connection". Sonny had no interest in that idea.

Question 4 of 10

4. GATSBY: That wasn't exactly what I meant about the saddest song, Linkan, but now I know why you picked it. I forgot who sang it so I had to look it up and got to hear it again. Needless to say I puddled up. I'm such a wimp.

LINKAN: Well, then so am I. "God Bless The USA (I'm Proud To Be An American)" gets me every time. I guess it's really more of an anthem, though, but if it makes me teary I'd call it sad.

GATSBY: We like people from all over the globe, too, I'm sure you'd agree!

LINKAN: Of course we do. There's no us without them. Who DID sing the song in question initially, Gats? I knew without research. Hint

Merle Haggard and Emmylou Harris

Bruce Springsteen

Lee Greenwood

Charlie Daniels

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. GATSBY: This time I asked you your favorite 'happy' song. You couldn't pick "Don't Worry Be Happy" or even "Happy Days Are Here Again". No, never that.

LINKAN: Always expect the unexpected, Gats.

GATSBY: You selected "My Favorite Things"! Yikes. Maria once again in "The Sound Of Music". Julie Andrews sang the song and it had many a 'favorite thing' mentioned. I have a question to the lyrics in it.

LINKAN: Ask away, buddy.

GATSBY: Let's hope our audience gets it. Which of these is correct about those "Favorite Things" lyrics - in terms of what they were? Hint

Girls in white dresses with pink satin sashes

New paper packages tied up with strings

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Cream colored ponies and fresh apple streudels

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. LINKAN: You differ with me on what my favorite Beatles song was, don't you?

GATSBY: Well, it was your fave I asked after and not mine. In fact "Hey Jude" is one of my least favorites of theirs. It seemed to go on forever!

LINKAN: It is widely thought that this song was written for whom?

GATSBY: I don't know. Thank goodness three of the answers are total hogwash. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is supposed to be about. Hint

Jude was John Lennon's son Julian.

Jude was a monkey in a London zoo.

Jude was Paul McCartney's favorite waitress. A lady named Judith who slaved away in a Liverpool diner.

Jude was just a name that sounded good. Lennon saw it on someone's license plate.

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. GATSBY: Got those platform shoes on, Linkan? We're going back in time to the Disco era here.

LINKAN: I'm tall enough. Who could dance with such big shoes on, Gatsby? It was such a crazy time!

GATSBY: I was such a disco guy. It's embarrassing to say so now. You picked as your favorite Disco song "I Will Survive". That figures.

LINKAN: You didn't like it? You were probably not the gender it was intended for more than likely. Who sang it in 1979? Hint

Gloria Gaynor

Yvonne Elliman

Donna Summer

Thelma Houston

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. GATSBY: Day or night?

LINKAN: Huh?

GATSBY: Democrat or Republican?

LINKAN: Enough! Where are you headed here?

GATSBY: Electric guitar or acoustic guitar?

LINKAN: Oh, one you plug in and one you don't. Ask the question now, please...

GATSBY: Which of these musicians would you easily associate with an acoustic guitar more than the others? Hint

Karen Carpenter

Dolly Parton

Barry Manilow

Jon Bon Jovi

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. GATSBY: On this answer you threw me entirely, Linkan! I ask your favorite blues singer and this is what you came up with?

LINKAN: Sorry. It's the first thing that came to my mind.

GATSBY: Okay, so you liked a character in a movie singing the blues. That's fair enough, I guess. I'm assuming you were talking about "Adventures In Babysitting" in 1987 - which I never saw.

LINKAN: It was a fun movie. Picking Billie Holliday would have been too easy.

GATSBY: Perhaps, but much easier for me to decipher. At any rate, who played the babysitter who sang the blues in that 1987 film? Hint

Christina Applegate

Matthew Broderick

Sarah Jessica Parker

Elizabeth Shue

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. GATSBY: My final question to you was, 'What song would you sing to your sweetie?'. You picked "Three Times A Lady" by The Commodores. You sing songs about yourself to your sweetheart?

LINKAN: I have to make sure he knows who he's dealing with.

GATSBY: You are such a rascal, Linkan. The Commodores were fronted by Lionel Richie. In one of his solo hits later he went dancing. Where was he dancing in that song that he went solo on? Hint

In the streets.

On the ceiling.

In the dark.

On a dime.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. GATSBY: Hi, Linkan! Comfy? LINKAN: As comfortable as I get with you around Gats. GATSBY: Calm down. I don't bite. LINKAN: Not yet! I'm afraid you'll start doing that at any moment. GATSBY: Nah, I'll be nice. The first question I gave you was 'what your favorite song is'. Looks like we both like Billy Joel but I don't think "My Life" was his best tune, and surely not the best song ever. You do though. Which of the following is NOT true about Joel?

Answer: He won a Grammy as Best New Artist in 1973.

LINKAN: He went to a mental hospital? Say it ain't so, Joe!

GATSBY: It's so! He struggled so with his dream of becoming a successful key tickler/singer. It seemed to him he was insane to cling to that dream.

LINKAN: Looks like he was wrong about that! I knew his second wife was Christie Brinkley and that "My Life" was used in "Bosom Buddies" (1980 - 1982). He wasn't Best New Artist ever?

GATSBY: No. He's picked up lots of awards since. *Gatsby shudders as Linkan starts belting out "The Piano Man"*

LINKAN: "Go ahead with your own life. Leave me alone."

2. GATSBY: I can't argue with you on this next one. Your favorite band is The Beatles. LINKAN: Legendary! I'm sure their music will last forever. Who would you have picked, Gats? GATSBY: Probably The Archies or The Spice Girls... LINKAN: Now I know you're pulling my leg. Anyway, had they all survived which of the four of them would be the oldest? The Beatles, that is.

Answer: Ringo Starr

GATSBY: I'd have never picked him, but, then, I wasn't even alive when The Beatles came to America.

LINKAN: Oh, this leg pulling must stop! You were probably in college when they were on "The Ed Sullivan Show"! Ringo was born first in July of 1940 - just a few months before John who was born in October. George was the youngest.

GATSBY: Harrison was my favorite, I think, AND I was in grade school when The Fab Four were on "Sullivan's" show. Just to clear that up.

3. LINKAN: I got you, babe. GATSBY: Unexpectedly that's probably true. Your favorite duo is Sonny and Cher? Why not us, Linkan? LINKAN: We don't sing! GATSBY: Well, one of us does sometimes. To be honest, only one those two sang so well, either. Sonny and Cher had a daughter named Chastity together. LINKAN: I always wondered where she got that blonde hair. Aside from their offspring the Bonos had another item in their life that has to do with something called 'Chastity'. What?

Answer: Sonny wrote Cher a movie to star in called "Chastity". What a stinker! No Oscars for that one.

GATSBY: Thankless self-promotion. Not only was there no Oscars there was no audience! Something about a hitchhiker, right?

LINKAN: Yeah, it was pretty bad. It came out in 1969. But I admire Cher. She didn't let that flop stop her and is now considered a respected actress.

GATSBY: Sonny went on to become a member of the House Of Representatives! A bad start doesn't always indicate a bad end.

LINKAN: It was pretty bad that Sonny died so young in a tragic skiing accident.

GATSBY: Yes, that was a shocker. Oh, no. Oh, no! Don't start...

LINKAN: (Singing) "Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves. We hear it from the people of the town they call us..."

4. GATSBY: That wasn't exactly what I meant about the saddest song, Linkan, but now I know why you picked it. I forgot who sang it so I had to look it up and got to hear it again. Needless to say I puddled up. I'm such a wimp. LINKAN: Well, then so am I. "God Bless The USA (I'm Proud To Be An American)" gets me every time. I guess it's really more of an anthem, though, but if it makes me teary I'd call it sad. GATSBY: We like people from all over the globe, too, I'm sure you'd agree! LINKAN: Of course we do. There's no us without them. Who DID sing the song in question initially, Gats? I knew without research.

Answer: Lee Greenwood

LINKAN: Are you proud to be an American, Gats?

GATSBY: Sure I am! Are you proud of your next answer, Linkan?

LINKAN: Of course. I just said it to annoy you.

5. GATSBY: This time I asked you your favorite 'happy' song. You couldn't pick "Don't Worry Be Happy" or even "Happy Days Are Here Again". No, never that. LINKAN: Always expect the unexpected, Gats. GATSBY: You selected "My Favorite Things"! Yikes. Maria once again in "The Sound Of Music". Julie Andrews sang the song and it had many a 'favorite thing' mentioned. I have a question to the lyrics in it. LINKAN: Ask away, buddy. GATSBY: Let's hope our audience gets it. Which of these is correct about those "Favorite Things" lyrics - in terms of what they were?

Answer: Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

GATSBY: Put me through that again and I'll be forced to push you off an Alp. Or maybe just exile you to Austria. I DON'T like the movie and I certainly DON'T like that song.

LINKAN: That's because you knew that I would get it right away. The packages are really brown, not new. The streudels are crisp, not fresh. And the sashes are blue and not pink. Why are you such a sourpuss, Gatsby?

GATSBY: Maybe it was that head injury when I was 4? That'll work as an excuse for now.

6. LINKAN: You differ with me on what my favorite Beatles song was, don't you? GATSBY: Well, it was your fave I asked after and not mine. In fact "Hey Jude" is one of my least favorites of theirs. It seemed to go on forever! LINKAN: It is widely thought that this song was written for whom? GATSBY: I don't know. Thank goodness three of the answers are total hogwash. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is supposed to be about.

Answer: Jude was John Lennon's son Julian.

LINKAN: Did you get it right, Gats?

GATSBY: No! I thought it might be the monkey. I really liked Julian Lennon a lot when his album "Valotte" came out. He looked and sounded a lot like his Dad. He's kind of slipped out of sight now, though.

LINKAN: Incidentally, Lennon didn't write this song regarding his young son. Paul McCartney did as the lad was all sad that his parents were divorcing.

GATSBY: I imagine Lennon's next son Sean found himself sad a lot, too. Not about divorces, though, but just after hearing his Mother Yoko's singing voice!

7. GATSBY: Got those platform shoes on, Linkan? We're going back in time to the Disco era here. LINKAN: I'm tall enough. Who could dance with such big shoes on, Gatsby? It was such a crazy time! GATSBY: I was such a disco guy. It's embarrassing to say so now. You picked as your favorite Disco song "I Will Survive". That figures. LINKAN: You didn't like it? You were probably not the gender it was intended for more than likely. Who sang it in 1979?

Answer: Gloria Gaynor

GATSBY: She was pretty good but kind of a one-hit wonder after that one, but that happened to a lot of disco artists. What is she up to now, Linkan?

LINKAN: She's still at work. You're right, though, that was her only major blockbuster tune. I just found out she was in that hit Broadway musical "Smokey Joe's Cafe" in the late 1990s.

GATSBY: Well, good for her! We disco types shouldn't be totally swept under the rug.

LINKAN: Let me grab a broom. Those days are long gone, my friend.

8. GATSBY: Day or night? LINKAN: Huh? GATSBY: Democrat or Republican? LINKAN: Enough! Where are you headed here? GATSBY: Electric guitar or acoustic guitar? LINKAN: Oh, one you plug in and one you don't. Ask the question now, please... GATSBY: Which of these musicians would you easily associate with an acoustic guitar more than the others?

Answer: Dolly Parton

LINKAN: I'm thinking Bon Jovi would be right.

GATSBY: He probably does play acoustic, but I don't think you would generally associate him with one as he's a hard rockin' sort of fellow. Carpenter was a drummer and Manilow is a pianist.

LINKAN: So Parton does sound like the best fit. Right again, Gatsby! She's one of my favorite things, by the way.

GATSBY: I'll leave that all alone one more time.

9. GATSBY: On this answer you threw me entirely, Linkan! I ask your favorite blues singer and this is what you came up with? LINKAN: Sorry. It's the first thing that came to my mind. GATSBY: Okay, so you liked a character in a movie singing the blues. That's fair enough, I guess. I'm assuming you were talking about "Adventures In Babysitting" in 1987 - which I never saw. LINKAN: It was a fun movie. Picking Billie Holliday would have been too easy. GATSBY: Perhaps, but much easier for me to decipher. At any rate, who played the babysitter who sang the blues in that 1987 film?

Answer: Elizabeth Shue

LINKAN: Shue sang "Babysittin' Blues" only as means to get out of the bar.

GATSBY: I think I'd like her better in things like "Leaving Las Vegas". I was really rooting for her to win her Oscar for it.

LINKAN: I prefer movies about babysitters over those about hookers and suicidal drunks. The blues are simply depressing to me - crying makes your eyes puffy and frowning gives you wrinkles. I'm a happy-go-lucky sort.

GATSBY: Unbelievably so sometimes, but that's one of those things I really do admire about you.

LINKAN: Hmmm. Maybe you're not such a grump after all, Gats?

10. GATSBY: My final question to you was, 'What song would you sing to your sweetie?'. You picked "Three Times A Lady" by The Commodores. You sing songs about yourself to your sweetheart? LINKAN: I have to make sure he knows who he's dealing with. GATSBY: You are such a rascal, Linkan. The Commodores were fronted by Lionel Richie. In one of his solo hits later he went dancing. Where was he dancing in that song that he went solo on?

Answer: On the ceiling.

LINKAN: That was a rather odd song!

GATSBY: I thought so, too. It came out in 1992. Maybe he was all happy that Bill Clinton was elected that year and took to dancing on ceilings?

LINKAN: Maybe, but my guess is he was just coming up with something that rhymed with 'feeling'.

GATSBY: I had fun again, Linkan! Let's hope everyone enjoys this one! Heck, we might get picked up for another season.
