Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

Answer: U2

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" is a song about the Bogside Massacre, a 1983 incident in London where British soldiers murdered several unarmed protesters. The event became known as "Bloody Sunday" and U2 wanted to honor those who died in it.

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" charted at number three in the Netherlands and number 11 in Belgium. It wasn't a major hit in most places when it came out, but it became more popular as time went on. "Rolling Stone" magazine ranked the song as one of the 500 best songs of all time.
2. "Blue Monday"

Answer: New Order

"Blue Monday" is a seven-minute dance song from the band New Order. The song was first released in 1983, where it became a hit in nine different countries. The U.S. was not one of these countries. The song was re-released in 1988, this time it went to the top of the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and it charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

In 1998, the song was covered by an American rock band called Orgy. Their version of the song charted in five different countries. It charted higher on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 than New Order's version ever did.
3. "Tuesday Afternoon"

Answer: Moody Blues

"Tuesday Afternoon" is a song by English symphonic rock band The Moody Blues. The song was originally released in 1967, in its full eight-minute form, on their album "Days of Future Passed." A shorter version of the song was released as a single in 1968.

The song was not a hit in the Moody Blues' home country, but it charted at number 12 on the Canada (RPM) Top Singles and at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
4. "A Wednesday Car"

Answer: Johnny Cash

"A Wednesday Car" came out in 1977 on Johnny Cash's album "The Rambler." The song advises people to only buy cars that were made on Wednesday, and at the end it says that you shouldn't even leave your house if your car was made on any other day of the week. Cash is known as a country musician, but this song is more like a soft rock song.
5. "Thursday"

Answer: Jim Croce

"Thursday" was released on Jim Croce's last album "I Got a Name," which was released posthumously. The song is about a man who falls in love with a woman, but ends up getting heartbroken when he learns that the woman was just looking for a friend and not a husband.

The album "I Got a Name" charted at number two in both the U.S. and Canada. If Croce had lived longer, who knows how much great music he would have given us. Even as it is, he's one of the greatest singer and songwriters of all time in my book.
6. "Black Friday Rule"

Answer: Flogging Molly

"Black Friday Rule" is a seven-minute song by Celtic Rock band Flogging Molly, on their first album, "Swagger". This song is a fan-favorite because of its jam session at the end of the song. The ending of the song lasts for two minutes on the album, but the band extends it when they play it live. The band dances around the stage when they play this live, which makes them a very highly reputed live band.

Despite the Irish sound of the music, Flogging Molly are mostly an American band, with most of them coming from California. Only singer Dave King is actually Irish.
7. "Someday I'll be Saturday Night"

Answer: Bon Jovi

"Someday I'll be Saturday Night" was first released on "Cross Roads" a 1994 Greatest Hits album that had three new songs including this one. The songs talks about two people, Jim and Billie Jean, whose lives have not been much fun so far, but they are optimistic that things will get better. This song charted in at least ten different countries.
8. "Manic Monday"

Answer: The Bangles

"Manic Monday" is a song written by Prince, but most famously was done by a girl group called The Bangles. The song is about a working woman who has to work for both herself and her husband. She doesn't get enough sleep at night so she can't get to work on time.

This song charted at number one, in South Africa, number two in seven different countries, number four in Norway and Switzerland, and number five in New Zealand.
9. "Friday I'm in Love"

Answer: The Cure

"Friday I'm in Love" is about a man who hates six days of the week and is only happy on Friday. The song came out in 1992. It charted at number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and it charted in the top ten in six different countries.
