Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Couch Potato", which "Friends" actress did he say he still loved?

Answer: Lisa Kudrow

"You're gonna lose your mind watching TV, they told me, conjoled me, but I still love Lisa Kudrow..."

Answer: The Weather Channel, and TechTV

He uses The Weather Channel somewhere else in the song, but TechTV was not said.

3. To which superhero does "Ode To A Superhero" refer?

Answer: Spider-Man

"Sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man". Another trend for Al- doing a song about a highly popular movie in the parody of a much older song.

4. What form of word-play was "Bob" filled with?

Answer: palindromes

In "Bob", which was done as a style parody of Bob Dylan, all the lyrics were palindromes, or words or sentences that read the same backwards and forewards.

5. Who played piano on "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?"?

Answer: Ben Folds

Ben Folds, of Ben Folds Five, joined Al's band on this song about things that should be the least of one's worries.

6. Was the number 27 said on this album?

Answer: Yes

Yes, what appears to be Al's favorite number is said once on the album. In "Hardware Store", he says "...every 27th customer will get a ball peen hammer free".

7. How many song concepts were used in "A Complicated Song"?

Answer: 3

The three topics- constipation, inbreeding, and decapitation- were all used in this parody of the popular Avril LaVigne song because Al couldn't come up with enough material to make a full song about any one of them.

8. In "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?", how much did his friend Robert owe him?

Answer: $5

"Hey wait a minute, he still owes me money -- what a jerk! Well there five bucks that I'm never gonna see again..."

9. In "Ebay", what was the "Dukes of Hazzard" item?

Answer: ashtray

"...hey a 'Dukes of Hazzard' ashtray..." Highly unlikely because, one, "Dukes of Hazzard" merchandise was mostly geared toward kids, and two, John Schneider (Bo Duke) spoke out against smoking at one time during the show's run.

10. After which comic singer did Al style "Genius in France"?

Answer: Frank Zappa

It is a nearly 9-minute song utilizing virtually every voice, word play, and musical beat used by the late Frank Zappa. Frank's son, Dweezil, played guitar on the song too.
