Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Each and every one of us cohabitate together in a jaundiced bathysphere.

Answer: The Beatles

We all live in a "Yellow Submarine"..."Yellow Submarine" was a hit in 1968, spawning a movie in which the fab four accompanied Captain Fred to Pepperland to free it from the music-hating Blue Meanies. Somehow, the song never made number one in the US charts.
2. Similar to a viaduct which spans somewhat turbulent seas.

Answer: Simon and Garfunkel

"(Like a) Bridge over Troubled Water" was one of 1970's biggest hits. Soon after touring to promote the song, the pair split to pursue solo careers. Paul Simon was notorious for the length of time he took to compose songs -thankfully it wasn't a thesaurus he grabbed for inspiration.
3. There is a well-heeled woman who is confident that everything shiny is in fact composed of a precious element, and she is purchasing a number of celestially bound treads and risers.

Answer: Led Zeppelin

The words "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying the stairway to heaven" were first performed in 1971, yet the band refused to release the song "Stairway to Heaven" as a single. The album, "Led Zeppelin IV", sold 11 million copies in the US, and "Stairway to Heaven" has remained one of the most played songs on US radio.
4. It would be a pleasantly clement time to undertake pallid nuptials.

Answer: Billy Idol

It's a nice day for a "White Wedding". The song was originally released in 1982, but didn't achieve hit status in the UK until its third 'release' in 1985.
5. You have extracted specific elements of prose from the oral aperture in my head.

Answer: Meat Loaf

"You Took the Words Right out of My Mouth", was the first single from 1977's seminal album, "Bat Out of Hell". The single fizzed out at number 39 in the US Billboard charts, but the album has remained one of the biggest selling of all time.
6. Strike me firmly with your paramount attempt.

Answer: Pat Benatar

"Hit Me with Your Best Shot" was the first Billboard Top Ten single for Pat Benatar, in 1980. Once a 'jazzercize' favourite, nowadays it is most often heard publicly as a sports stadium anthem between innings or at halftime.
7. That for which I search currently remains elusively undiscovered.

Answer: U2

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was the second single released from the 1987 album "The Joshua Tree". It promptly followed the first, "With or Without You", into the number one spot on the US Billboard charts.
8. My nativity occurred in the post-colonial constitutional republic which stretches between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

I was "Born in the USA". The song reached number nine in the US Billboard charts in 1984, while the album of the same name went on to sell 18 million copies. Often used as a patriotic anthem, the lyrics actually speak of the plight of Vietnam veterans returning Stateside to a hostile reception.
9. You speak in the finest manner on the occasions you are silent.

Answer: Ronan Keating

"(You say it best) When You Say Nothing at All" was originally a country hit for Keith Whitley, then Alison Krauss, before Ronan Keating recorded it in 1999 for the soundtrack album of the Julia Roberts movie "Notting Hill". This song launched his solo career.
10. In reverie, I am giving subconscious consideration to an ivory tinted Christian appropriation of the pagan celebration of the winter solstice.

Answer: Bing Crosby

"(I'm Dreaming of a) White Christmas" was originally recorded in 1942 for the movie "Holiday Inn". Bing Crosby re-recorded it in 1947 for the eponymous movie, and it has since entered the charts more times than just about any other song in history.
