Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I'm begging of you, please don't take my man". Who was Dolly Parton singing to?

Answer: Jolene

"Jolene" was a number one hit on the Billboard U.S. Country Songs chart in 1973. It has been covered by more artists than any other Dolly Parton song.

2. The Rolling Stones sang about many women, but which one was described as a lady?

Answer: Jane

Even Mick Jagger doesn't admit to knowing who he was writing about in the song "Lady Jane"; the 1966 song featured a harpsichord and an Appalachian dulcimer.

3. Little Richard was one of the most important people in the development of rock and roll; which one of his women has everything that Uncle John needs?

Answer: Sally

Pat Boone sang a sedate version of "Long Tall Sally", but who except Little Richard could sing lyrics like "Long tall Sally, she, uh, billswee she gaaaaaaaaaa..."?

4. My dear, you have always been my inspiration. Who did Paul McCartney ask not to forget him?

Answer: Martha

Credited to Lennon/McCartney, as most of the Beatles' songs were, Paul's song was inspired by his English sheepdog, Martha, but former girlfriend Jane Asher supposedly figured into it, too.

5. From Canada came Leonard Cohen, singing about a girl who would feed you tea and oranges. Who was she?

Answer: Suzanne

Leonard Cohen wrote "Suzanne" about his platonic relationship with Suzanne McAllister, whom he knew in Montreal, Quebec in the 1960s. The song established him as a songwriter. Judy Collins's version of the song established her as a singer outside the folk music genre.

6. The Ozark Mountain Daredevils can almost be called a two-hit wonder. Which blue woman did they sing about?

Answer: Jackie

"Jackie Blue" was the Daredevils's biggest hit, in 1975. Many musicians have been band members over the years; the band is still playing.

7. First it was by Them, then just him. Who was that woman who came around, just about midnight?

Answer: Gloria

"Gloria" was the B-side of "Baby, Please Don't go" by Van Morrison's band Them in 1964. It was released again as an A-side in 1965. Morrison did a jazzed-up version with John Lee Hooker and Georgie Fame in 1993. The opening chords have become a rite of passage for garage band guitar players.

8. Steely Dan tried to warn her that it would come back to her. Who was she?

Answer: Peg

"Peg" was on Steely Dan's 1977 album "Aja" and released as a single. Though sounding like a simple song, it was worked on for hours and hours before founding band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were satisfied with it; typical for them.

9. Ah, the pain of being left alone and hurting so bad. Who had the Beach Boys in such pain?

Answer: Wendy

"Wendy" was on the 1964 Beach Boys album "All Summer Long". Band member Mike Love was also feeling alone; he had to sue fellow band member Brian Wilson to get his name added to the song writing credits. Nice.

10. She really made Phil and Don Everly feel like clowns. Who could make two rockabilly stars feel that way?

Answer: Cathy

The Everly Brothers originally recorded for Cadence Records. In 1960 they got a new contract with Warner Bros. Records. No doubt the executives at Warner Bros. were happy, "Cathy's Clown" was the brothers' first release for them and it sold eight million copies!
