Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What song contains the lyrics: "I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life"?

Answer: The Saddest Song

"The Saddest Song" is a song written to the children of one of the band members (as you can probably tell from the lyric I used). It appears twice on the CD, once listed, and once as a hidden track.

2. What song are these lyrics from? "So close them tight and kiss me one last time."

Answer: Takeoffs and Landings

This is an enhanced CD. If you put it into your computer, you can unlock extra internet material on the Ataris.

3. In which song does the lyric "I see you walkin' real slow" appear?
