"Hootie" was the nickname of a guy named Ervin Harris, and "Blowfish" was what they called Donald Feaster. Both were friends of Darius Rucker and sang in the Carolina Alive choir with him.
4. Who sings 'Six Months in a Leaky Boat'? Hint: Think-of frizzy hair.

Answer: Split Enz

This band started life in 1971 at the Auckland University, where Tim Finn met up with (old friend) Mike Chunn, Robert Gillies, Philip Judd and Noel Crombie. In 1972 they formed a band called the Split Ends. The spelling was later changed to Split Enz when they went on their first trip to Australia, to signify their New Zealand roots.
5. Who sings the song "Superstition"? Hint : He didn't see the falling ladder.

Answer: Stevie Wonder

Contrary to popular belief Stevie wasn't born blind, but became so at six weeks old because he was put in an incubator containing too much oxygen which caused the condition retinopathy of prematurity. ROP is when the growth of the eyes is aborted and causes the retinas to detach, resulting in blindness. He never let that stop him from doing anything!
6. Who sings 'Two tickets to Paradise'? Hint: save your cash.

Answer: Eddie Money

Edward Joseph Mahoney was born in Brooklyn, New York City on March 21, 1949. In 1968, Money moved to Berkeley, California. There he took on the stage name Eddie Money, dropping a few letters from his name and joked about the fact that he was always broke!
7. Who sings "Lonesome Loser"? Hint: Don't fall in!

Answer: Little River Band

Little River Band (LRB) was formed in Melbourne in 1975 and named after seeing a Little River road sign on the way to Geelong. They were huge in Australia but also the first Australian rock band to make it in the United States, scoring 13 American Top 40 hits, selling more than 25 million records.
8. Who sings 'Slip Sliding Away'? Hint: It's real Simple. Ask a pieman.

Answer: Paul Simon

"Slip Sliding Away" tells what can happen if we don't live deliberately. Drifting is just existing, coasting along without purpose or direction. Even if we have a desire, dream or purpose, we spend most of our time not working towards our dreams.
9. Who sings 'Mama, I'm Coming Home'? Hint: Did he really bite a bat?

Answer: Ozzy Osborne

A 17 year old fan, Mark Neal, took a gift for Ozzy Osborne: a bat. Why, you ask? He heard tale about Ozzy reportedly biting the head off two live doves during a meeting gone wrong with record executives So Neal threw the bat onto the stage during the show. The rest is history.
10. Who sings "Peg"? They were an American rock band founded in 1971. Hint: Reminds me of iron man.

Answer: Steely Dan

Steely Dan is the name of a sex toy, named Steely Dan III from Yokohama. Steely Dan got the inspiration for their band name in the pages of William S.Burroughs's novel 'Naked Lunch'. I always find it interesting on how bands come up with their names.
