Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Ride Captain Ride": "We're callin' everyone to ride along To another shore, We can laugh our _____ away And be free once more"

Answer: lives

Blues Image formed in the late 1960's in Tampa, Florida. The #4 "Ride Captain Ride" was their only hit. Years after disbanding lead vocalist and guitar player Mike Pinera also played guitar on the new-wavish Alice Cooper albums "Special Forces" and "Zipper Catches Skin".
2. "If You Could Read My Mind": "I walk away like a movie star Who gets _____ in a three way script"

Answer: burned

This #5 Gordon Lightfoot song was taken from his "Sit Down Young Stranger" album. It was his first successful album, but most don't know he had released five albums prior to this one.
3. "El Condor Pasa": "I'd rather be a forest than a street Yes I would, if I could, I surely would I'd rather feel the _____ beneath my feet Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would"

Answer: earth

Simon & Garfunkel went to #18 with this one. Based on an Andean mountain song from the 1700's. Paul Simon updated it with new lyrics, but kept the melody intact.
4. "Hand Me Down World": "Anybody here see the _____-_____lovin' cup explosion I think we missed it Anybody here see the changing of the year and emotion"

Answer: fuzzy-wuzzy

#17 for The Guess Who. Definitely one of my favorite lyrics from a song. It has an oddball quality to it, and many people don't even know the line is there.
5. "Vehicle": "I'm a friendly stranger in a _____ sedan Won't you hop inside my car I got pictures, got candy I'm a loveable man And I can take you to the nearest star"

Answer: black

Jim Peterik was the lead vocalist, guitar player and writter of the 1970 smash (no pun intended) "Vehicle". The Ides of March only made it to #2. Peterik would have to wait twelve years for a #1. What was it? Oh yeah, after a dry spell Jim Peterik formed a band called Survivor who had little song called "Eye Of The Tiger".
6. "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his _____ Nothin' seems to fit"

Answer: bed

This #1 B.J. Thomas song was offered to Bob Dylan before Mr. Thomas recorded it for the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
7. "Instant Karma": "Instant Karma's gonna get you Gonna knock you off your feet Better recognize your _____ Everyone you meet"

Answer: brothers

John Lennon's first Top 10 (it went to #3) has been covered by artists including Nelly Furtado, Labrat, Blue Mink, Toad The Wet Sprocket, and many more.
8. "Bridge Over Troubled Water": "Sail on _____ girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine"

Answer: silver

Simon & Garfunkel were at #1 for 6 weeks in early 1970. This song is conidered Paul Simon's best song by critics and fans alike (even though I prefer "I Am A Rock").
9. "Spill The Wine": "I could feel hot _____ of fire roaring at my back As she disappeared, but soon she returned In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass"

Answer: flames

Eric Burdon & War had a #3 hit with this song (it's one of my all time favorites). It originally appeared on the album "Eric Burdon Declares War", which only contained a total of five songs.
10. Two words instead of one this time! "Love The One You're With": "Well there's a rose in the _____ _____ And eagle flies with the dove And if you can't be with the one you love honey Love the one you're with"

Answer: fisted glove

I misheard this lyric as "distant love" for years. I found out only recently that Stephen Stills was really saying "there's a rose in the 'fisted glove'" in his number 14 hit. Drop me a note if you misheard the lyric too :)
