Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following artists was never a member of Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

Answer: Den Harrow

Mark O'Toole played bass guitar, Brian Nash (aka Nasher Nash) the lead guitar, and Peter Gill was at the drums. Den Harrow however, had nothing to do with FGTH at all; he was working for Stuck Aitken Waterman.

2. How many albums with unique songs did FGTH release?

Answer: 2

"Welcome To the Pleasuredome" and "Liverpool". All others were either localized limited editions or later samples -- they all only contained remixes or different versions of the original tracks.

3. Almost everybody knows that "Relax" was the first single released by FGTH. By means of their discography, what was the second single?

Answer: Two Tribes

Although "The Power of Love" was the second single released in the U.S., "Two Tribes" was the follow-up to Relax in the U.K. (Thanks to hootch for pointing that out).

4. With "Liverpool" Frankie Goes To Hollywood released its first album.

Answer: False

"Welcome to the Pleasuredome" was the first; "Liverpool" came later.

5. Which of the following tracks is not on the "Liverpool" album?

Answer: The Only Star in Heaven

"The Only Star in Heaven" was on "Welcome to the Pleasuredome".

6. Who produced Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

Answer: Trevor Horn

Almost all FGTH songs were produced by Trevor Horn. Johnson/Rutherford never produced anything by themselves under the FGTH Label. And Malcolm McLaren was, of course, the producer of the Sex Pistols.

7. Which of the following tracks was never played by FGTH?

Answer: Welcome to the Jungle

"Krisco Kisses" and "Born to Run" (a Bruce Springsteen cover) were both on the "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" album. "Happy Hi" was on the B-side of the "Relax" 12-inch. "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" was, of course, never played by FGTH, it it from Guns'n'Roses.

8. Frankie's well-known track "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" begins with the lyrics "In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a Pleasuredome Erect". By what author was FGTH obviously inspired?

Answer: Samuel Coleridge

It was "Kubla Khan", a poem by Samuel Taylor Colerige about Marco Polo's journeys. The original lines are:

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

a stately pleasure-dome decree,

where Alph, the sacred river, ran

through caverns measureless to man

down to a sunless sea..."

9. Where was Holly Johnson born?

Answer: Liverpool, England

William Johnson was born on Februrary 19th, 1960 in Liverpool, England.

10. Why, according to Holly Johnson, was Paul Rutherford a member of FGTH?

Answer: Just for the smell of it

Holly Johnson said in an interview once that Paul was only in "for the smell of it". Of course, Rutherford did sing background but Johnson never fitted him in because of his voice. In "Rage Hard (Slam Blam)" (a 12-inch version of "Rage Hard"), it is even mentioned by the female announcer: "Paul Rutherford... here for the smell of it... how does it feel?" However, many friends and fans always believed Rutherford was into it because of the relationship to Johnson -- but they never clearly said so.
