Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This video is from an all-girl band, but in this one the are dressed as guys for the most part, and features a "brat-packer".

Answer: "Turn To You" by The Go-Go's

Taken from their album "Talk Show", the brat packer in the video is Rob Lowe.
2. This Genesis video features commedian Benny Hill.

Answer: "Anything She Does"

The sixth and final video from the "Invisible Touch" album features Hill as a crackpot security guard.
3. All members of Yes have appearances in the "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" video.

Answer: false

Keyboardist Tony Kaye does not appear in the video. He is in the other two videos from "90125", "Leave It" and "It Can Happen".
4. In John Cougar Mellencamp's video for "Pink Houses" what Indiana interstate sign is featured?

Answer: I-65

It is I-65, which is the main North/South interstate in Indiana.
5. One version of this Van Halen video features aerial acts from "The Blue Angels".

Answer: "Dreams"

A great video showing many precision stunts these flyers perform. The band does not appear in this version.
6. The first half of this video features the lead singer walking on top of water in a swimming pool.

Answer: "Magic" by The Cars

The second video form the "Heartbeat City" album has this special effect.
7. Which Talking Heads video shows the band suspended from "bungi" cords?

Answer: "Stay Up Late"

The third video from 1985's "Little Creatures" album displays the band in this fashion.
8. This video features actor Michael J. Fox as a pizza delivery man.

Answer: "Stick Around" by Julian Lennon

This was the first video from the album "The Secret Value Of Daydreaming", you could probably still find this CD, but why would you want to? Michael J. Fox, and pizza for that matter have come a long way since this video.
9. What was the first video released from Styx' "Kilroy Was Here" album?

Answer: "Mr. Roboto"

Bad songs can sometimes be made into good videos, this was not the case here. Perhaps the worst video ever made? Portrays Dennis DeYoung as somewhat of an action hero, Tommy Shaw has only a small part and he should be very thankful for that.
10. Let's test the brain a little, What video was made by a female singer with men in plain suits surrounding her as a rebuttal to the Robert Palmer "Addicted To Love" and "Simply Irresistable" videos?

Answer: "On The Greener Side" by Michelle Shocked

Michelle was a bit offended by Palmer's depictions of women in the forementioned videos, so she cooked up this little reply.
