Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the song 'Elvis Ain't Dead', the sentence 'Elvis isn't dead...' is followed by a 'because'. What is his irrefutable evidence?

Answer: Because I heard him on the radio

The full line goes: 'Elvis isn't dead, 'cause I heard him on the radio.' I want to hear it myself! Only then I'll believe he isn't dead. 'Elvis Ain't Dead' was a single from the band's self-titled debut album, released in 2007.

2. The second chorus from 'The Airplane Song' goes: 'She's a messy creation She hit the road, but the road hit back ____ I will wait for a lifetime I've been counting the days since you left one way Nobody reaches ___' Fill in the blanks.

Answer: Nobody told me you're an island - her island

'She never told me, she was leaving' is a piece from the first chorus. Though the content of the song is sad, it seems really happy when you don't listen to the lyrics. 'The Airplane Song' was a track from the album 'Scouting for Girls' (2007). It was written by Roy Stride.

3. In the song 'I Need a Holiday', the vocalist is singing about how much he needs a holiday. But there's one thing he needs more than a holiday; what it is?

Answer: You

'I need you, more than I can say.
Yeah I need you, more than a holiday.'

These sweet lyrics are sung in the bridge of the song. I've heard this song so many times now, and I just can't get enough of it! It expresses my own feelings so well. 'I Need a Holiday' was a song from the band's debut album. It was composed by Scouting for Girls.

4. Finish the lyric: "I keep on walking..."

Answer: til the sun comes up

This line is repeated many times in 'Keep on Walking', so have if you have ever heard this song, you MUST know this one! Though the lyrics are very simplistic, to me this song is very addictive. The song was released on March 9, 2009.

5. Who's the lead singer and songwriter of the group?

Answer: Roy Stride

Besides singing and composing, Roy also plays the piano and the guitar. Greg Churchouse sings backing vocals and plays the bass. Peter Ellard takes care of the drums and the percussion, and sometimes some backing vocals. Andy Green is the name of the band's producer.

6. In the song 'The Mountains of Navaho', the girl that the singer loved is gone. She took everything from him, but she left one thing behind. What was it?

Answer: Her cat

She left behind her cat. He mentions that he never really liked it, and sent it back to her mother. Poor cat! 'The Mountains of Navaho' was a track on the band's first album. The album went to number one on the UK Albums chart.

Answer: This Ain't a Love Song

'This Ain't a Love Song' was the first release from their second studio album, called 'Everybody Wants to Be on TV'. It came out in March 2010. The album was recorded at Heliocentric Studios.

8. In the song 'Heartbeat', do the lyrics say: 'Give me an ear or give me an eye'?

Answer: No

The correct lyrics are: 'Give me an evening or give me a night'. I always got this confused; it makes so much more sense now! 'Heartbeat' was released in April 2008.

Answer: Vet

'I used to want to be a vet
Just so I'd see you one day'.

It's sad, isn't it? This song was a bonus track on the album 'Scouting for Girls'. It was written by Roy Stride.

The chorus goes:
'I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to thrill.
I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to kill.'
