4. In the 1964 hit by The Drifters, "Under the Boardwalk", what food(s) can you almost taste?

Answer: hot dogs and french fries

5. Which group had a hit in 1973 with "Taking Care of Business"?

Answer: Bachman-Turner Overdrive

An earlier version of the song was played by Randy Bachman for Burton Cummings while they were members of The Guess Who. Bachman left the group in 1970 and formed the group Brave Belt, which later morphed into B.T.O. In 1973 the words "taking care of business" were added to the song and it was recorded for their second album, "Bachman-Turner Overdrive II".

"You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty..."
6. In which of the following songs is the word "million" used extensively?

Answer: "Keep Yourself Alive" by Queen

Released in 1973 as Queen's first single, the song failed to chart in both the U.S. and the U.K. In 2008 it made Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time", coming in at 31st.

"I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Might he grow a little wiser
Little better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in Alley Way...".
7. In 1969 Zager and Evans released "In the Year 2525". The song goes through a progression of years in man's future. How long does man's reign last?

Answer: 10,000 years

The song hit number one in 1969 and held the spot for six weeks. Despite the success, as of 2011, Zager and Evans has never charted again.

"Now it's been 10,000 years
man has cried a billion tears
for what he never knew
now man's reign is through."

"Roundabout" was a hit for Yes in 1972. Jon Anderson has said that the song came from a tour bus trip in England that ran into heavy traffic. (The three wrong answers are first lines to other verses in the song.)
9. According to The Beatles in 1967, what was the name of the meter maid?

Answer: Lovely Rita

Paul McCartney says that the inspiration for the song came out of receiving a parking ticket outside of Abbey Road Studios. In "Lovely Rita", after the line "made her look a little like a military man", John, Paul and George can be heard playing makeshift kazoos using paper and combs.

"Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book."
