Question 1 of 10
1. I love this video, it has Dave Grohl as a Demon, and Tenacious D playing "not the best song in the world" - what does the Demon say he will do if the band don't play? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. I must be getting old, as when this next video played I found myself saying "I never thought I'd see the day they played Rap on a Rock channel" - then the lyrics registered, powerful stuff with a political statement that one wouldn't necessarily expect from a rap artist.
Eminem wanted to call out the youth vote in 2004, with this cartoon video featuring disenchanted "hoodies" in shades of black and grey. What is the song?

Answer: (One Word 4 letters)
Question 3 of 10
3. My five year old daughter loves this video, it has Snow White, and her Dwarves mining away to bring her gold and jewels.
Luckily at five she is too young to "get" the rather dubious symbolism in a lot of it, thankfully!
She can even sing along (after a fashion) in German so at least we can pretend it's vaguely educational!
Which Rammstein song were we watching?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. This video could almost be described as "Epic" - there are palaces and Chinese soldiers, dragon banners, self flagellation! spooky oriental ladies everywhere, and the words "His face is a map of the World, a map of the World" over and over.
The band play the roles of superhero type ninja warriors in masks, who fight with swords to a standstill before unmasking and 'recognising' each other right at the end.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but if you like films like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and even "Mulan" it will probably appeal to you.
What band sing the song that this amazing film accompanies?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. This video actually made me feel ill, and I now RUN to switch it off if my "babies" are watching! Even with the pixellation that the TV station kindly provides, what he does with that sandwich should NOT be allowed! Which Offspring video features some very dubious behaviour and the playing of several tricks on unsuspecting people? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. I am actually starting to like Fall Out Boy lately, I've heard the CD so often! I find myself singing along and almost know the right words. Can you complete this lyric from "Thnks fr th Mmrs"? - "One night and one more time, Thanks for the memories, even though _______" Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. This video tells a "Mills & Boon-esque" story where the beautiful young parlour maid is cruelly treated and even beaten by the wicked housekeeper. She dreams of a dark and handsome young man who sings to her in the mirrors, and eventually makes her escape from her locked garret when he pulls her through the mirror to join him. She is seen as a member of the audience as the band finish singing their song, and the rest of the servants back in "her world" are left astonished when they find her room empty yet the door was still locked.
Which song is this the video for?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. You know those dreams when you're out in public in your underwear? Well in this video the opposite happens. Everyone at the party is in their underwear and "our hero" is fully dressed and wanders around all lost and out of place until he hides in the closet to start getting undressed himself to fit in. In the closet, he meets a beautiful girl who is also fully dressed and they leave together, still dressed.
Which band sings this song?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. I liked this song so much I made it my ringtone! "Rock Star" is one of those songs you just can't help singing along with, and the video features numerous famous (and not so famous) people singing a line each.
Which member of ZZ Top (he's the one with the long beard) does the spoken word lines "so how you gonna do it" and "tell me what you want"?

Answer: (Two Words)
Question 10 of 10
10. This video looks fairly innocuous at first viewing, lots of happy children playing with bubbles, balls and balloons, being entertained by a singer in a top hat, at a small piano. It is only when one looks closer that the symbolism becomes apparent - a "war on terror" is going on there, complete with a kicked in play house door, and a shooting with a silly string gun.
Right at the end all the children line up at the playroom window to watch a military funeral go by.
This song was the first solo release from which artist?
Hint
