Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "We Gotta Get You A Woman", what friend is he addressing?

Answer: Leroy

"Leroy, boy, is that you?" Song was released in 1970 off his album "Runt". It reached the 20 position on the US charts.

2. Long the closing song in many of his solo and Utopia concerts, "Just One Victory" includes what words in the chorus?

Answer: Hold that line, baby, hold that line!

Almost an anthem for any Todd Rundgren fan, the song was released off his solo album "A Wizard, A True Star" in 1973. "Take the bull by the horns, We've been so downhearted. We've been so forlorn.."

3. "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" contains which of the following phrases?

Answer: But those days are through

This song was on his "Something/Anything?" double album, released in 1972, which reached the number 29 position on the Billboard 200 chart for that year.

Answer: I Saw The Light

Another part of the lyric is "Then you gazed up at me..." Todd's height is 5' 11" tall.

5. Which of these is a Rundgren cover of a song from a Disney movie?

Answer: Never Never Land

Written by Jule Styne (music), Betty Comden and Adolf Green (lyrics). This one is on his "A Wizard, A True Star" album released in 1973 which reached the number 86 position on the Billboard 200 chart for that year. The song is from Disney's 1953 animated "Peter Pan" movie. Todd was born in 1948 so he must have been five years old at the time it was in theaters. Surely made an impression.

6. "I see with my heart I hear with my heart I feel with my heart Sometimes it works better" Song?

Answer: Real Man

The opening song of his "Initiation" album released in the summer of 1975. Early fans will chuckle at Meridian Leeward (of his Nazz recordings) as being the antithesis.

7. Which song did Rundgren write concerning a Greek myth?

Answer: Lysistrata

"Lysistrata" was originally a play by Aristophanes performed as a comedy in classical Athens Greece in 411 B.C. It told of the women's strategy to end the Peloponnesian War by withholding sex from their husbands. There is a performance in 1985 on David Letterman's show at the time. This was originally a song from Utopia's 1982 release "Swing To The Right".

8. Which TV hosts introduced Todd and Utopia singing "The Very Last Time" on their respective shows circa 1980?

Answer: John Davidson and Mike Douglas

"The Very Last Time" is the eighth track on Utopia's 1980 release, "Adventures In Utopia", which charted at the number 32 position in the Billboard yearly ranking.

9. "One World". Who is in the neighborhood?

Answer: Chrissy, Mike, Margaret and Gene

"I see Chrissy the clipper, she colors my hair
Mickey and Margaret make the clothes that we wear
And there's Gene who runs the club where we dance all night
When you live in our world, everything's alright."

Another cut from the 1982 album "Swing To The Right" from Utopia.

10. "Keep your head and everything will be cool" is the opening line to what song?

Answer: Couldn't I Just Tell You?

Always a staple of his live performances with the one-two kick in between lines, He performed this one on the Mike Douglas TV show in Philadelphia (his stomping grounds) in 1978 and introduced it calling it "Power Pop". Another gem off the 1972 "Something/Anything?" album.
