Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Don't you feel a whole lot better?"

Answer: "All the Pigs, All Lined Up"

"All the Pigs, All Lined Up" was released on the domestic Halo 7 as a remix for "March of the Pigs". When Trent performs live, however, he oftentimes integrates the ending chant from this remix -- "All the pigs are alllined up" -- while singing the original song.

3. "Black and blue and broken bones. You left me here. I'm all alone."
