Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Blue (Da-Ba-Dee)' was an annoyingly catchy Europop song by Eiffel 65, released in 1998, that somehow found its way onto my iTunes playlist. What type of car does the blue man in the song have? (Prince might know.)
2. When I go to see Sheffield Wednesday play, this song plays over the tannoy as the team come onto the pitch. It's called 'Hi Ho Silver Lining', although 'silver lining' is replaced with 'Sheffield Wednesday'. Who wrote and sang it?
3. I'm not a big fan of K-pop, but I fell in love with one K-pop song, 'Bar Bar Bar', after hearing it in an anime music video. Which all-female K-pop band, known for wearing crash helmets in the video, sang it?
4. It's a '90s pop night staple (and sometimes crops up at rock nights too!) It was released by Dutch duo 2 Unlimited in 1993. It was the theme song of Ivorian brothers Yaya and Kolo Toure when they played for Manchester City. 'Spitting Image' made fun of it for its repetitive lyrics. What is the name of the song I'm referring to?
5. I'm partial to early '90s dance music, and one song that always takes me back to my first year of high school is 'U Sure Do', which was originally released in 1994 and then re-released the following year, when it peaked at Number 4 on the UK singles chart. The band behind it were Strike, but do you know the name of their singer?
6. In late 1994, my brother bought a CD single featuring a dance track with a very unusual type of singing, usually found in jazz songs, and which reached Number 1 on singles charts all over Europe. I can't give the name of the song or artist as it would be a giveaway, but if I tell you that the subtitle of the song was 'Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop', can you guess what type of singing the song featured?
7. I'm a fan of the Spice Girls (before Geri 'Ginger Spice' Halliwell left, anyway), and one of my favourite songs by them is a single which was exclusively released for Pepsi; in order to obtain the single, fans had to collect a certain number of Pepsi ring pulls and send them off. What was the name of the song?
8. 'We Come to Party' is one of my more obscure choices, but fans of '90s pop music might have heard it, or the group's other singles, 'Hey DJ' and 'Telefunkin'. Which British/South African girl group sang it?
9. 'The Bad Touch' by the Bloodhound Gang was a rock club staple in the early '00s, and a guilty pleasure. What kind of animals did the band dress up as in the video?
10. One particular song by Cockney duo Chas 'n' Dave that I like is about a woman who never stops talking. After which animal is it named?
