Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "We Are the Champions" from Queen's 1977 album "News of the World".

Answer: "We Will Rock You"

Stadiums across the world have adopted "We Will Rock You" as a regular anthem. With a simple beat and words that crowds can easily chant to intimidate opposing teams and maybe even hamper their communications on the field. "We Are the Champions" is often played when a team has won a championship, obviously after the game is complete. "Rock You" was the B-side of the 7 inch vinyl "Champions" single. The tracks were one and two on Queen's album "News of the World", with "Rock You" first and "Champions" second.
2. "New Mother Nature" from The Guess Who's 1970 album "American Woman".

Answer: "No Sugar Tonight"

"No Sugar Tonight" was thought to be too short a song, so Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings decided to combine Bachman's "No Sugar Tonight" with Cumming's "New Mother Nature". They appear as "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" at track four on the "American Woman" album.
3. "Crazy on You" from Heart's 1975/76 debut album "Dreamboat Annie".

Answer: "Silver Wheels"

"Silver Wheels" is an acoustic guitar intro to "Crazy on You" played by Nancy Wilson. The duration was about 37 seconds. Another short acoustic guitar song titled "Silver Wheels" appears on Heart's fifth studio album "Bébé le Strange". This song times in at 1:24 and has a completely different sound.
4. "Eye in the Sky" from The Alan Parsons Project's 1982 album "Eye in the Sky".

Answer: "Sirius"

"Sirius" is a nearly two minute instrumental intro segueing into "Eye in the Sky". Teams in the NBA, NFL, and NCAA football have played "Sirius" during team intros before games. "Sirius" was often played during sports highlight shows in the 1980s. "Eye in the Sky" reached number one in Canada and Spain, and made the top forty in most major markets, except the UK. Alan Parsons is best known for his production work with The Beatles and Pink Floyd, including the albums "Abbey Road", "Let It Be", and "The Dark Side of the Moon". Eric Woolfson is the lead vocalist for this song.

The "Project" has used many lead singers, often on the same album.
5. "Let the Sunshine In" from The 5th Dimension's 1969 album "The Age of Aquarius".

Answer: "Aquarius"

This pair of songs was written for the 1967 musical "Hair". The 5th Dimension recorded these songs which were included on their fourth album "The Age of Aquarius". The pair charted in the top 15 on many charts worldwide and hit number one in the US and Canada. Two members of the band, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., broke from the band as a duo, and topped North American charts with "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)". The couple has been married since 1969.
6. "You Really Got Me" from Van Halen's 1978 debut album "Van Halen".

Answer: "Eruption"

"Eruption" tops many lists as THE most difficult guitar solo to play. Lasting 1:42, it includes many techniques the layman would not understand. "Eruption" segues into "You Really Got Me". This is a cover of The Kinks' 1964 breakout hit. "Eruption" and "You Really Got Me" appear as the second and third tracks on Van Halen's first album.
7. "Anytime" from Journey's 1978 album "Infinity".

Answer: "Feeling That Way"

"Feeling That Way" teamed up with "Anytime" featured co-lead vocals by founding member, keyboardist and former lead singer Gregg Rolie. His memorable lead vocal roles were Santana's "Black Magic Woman" and "Evil Ways". Journey's lead vocal role had been given to a relatively unknown singer named Steve Perry. These songs were a sort of passing of the lead vocal baton from Rolie to Perry.
8. "Longtime" from Boston's 1976 debut album "Boston".

Answer: "Foreplay"

"Foreplay/Longtime" only broke the top ten in Canada. The pair managed top forty showings in Germany and the US. "Foreplay" is a 2:25 instrumental intro featuring keyboards. "Longtime" has the rest of the instruments as well as lead singer Brad Delp, who is often compared to Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry.
9. "With a Little Help from My Friends" from The Beatles' 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

Answer: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was written by Paul McCartney, who also sang lead. It reached number 63 in the UK and number 71 in the US. "With a Little Help from My Friends" was written by Lennon and McCartney, with the specific intention of Ringo Starr singing lead.
10. "Fly Like An Eagle" from The Steve Miller Band's 1976 album "Fly Like an Eagle".

Answer: "Space Intro"

"Space Intro" is a 1:15 instrumental often played before the hit single "Fly Like an Eagle". They appear as the first and second tracks on the album "Fly Like an Eagle". "Eagle" peaked at number two in both the US and Canada. Outside North America it reached number 23 in The Netherlands. R&B/Soul artist Seal sang a cover version of "Eagle" which was included in the 1996 live action/animated film "Space Jam".
