Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This video is a cartoon, in a dark and gloomy style, enlightened by the throwing and 'unthrowing' of a tomato at a guy's head with a satisfying splat. Let's hope the thrower doesn't make a 'habit' of it! Which band are we watching?
2. I just caught the end of this next video when I entered to the room to shout "Turn It DOWN!"
All I saw was a 'viewfinder' on the screen with a man caught in it and the words "Waste of Ammo".
Which song was this the end of?
3. 'A song by any other name'... this next song has a very famous name and I was all ready to sing "The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts blood dyed its every fold"
but Alas! this song isn't the 'traditional' one.
The video has a lot of small children running riot and ending up in World War II gasmasks under a red sky, at a concert by the band. Which band is it?
4. This next song is a cover version of an 80's tune. The original singer was perhaps more famous for his codpiece than his singing.
This version's video features the band's faces superimposed onto dogs, and follows their adventures running round town. Which song is it?
5. A 'blast from the past' toy features in this next video, and Gothson was deeply embarassed when I reminded him how much he loved his 'Pog' collection when he was young.
This video features a holiday camp called "Hola Dios" (which I thought meant 'Hello God' but what do I know?) and a Pog match show-down between the 'cool guy' and the 'nerd.'
The band are called Hellogoodbye and my personal opinion is that the 'Goodbye' bit would be best, this song is seriously irritating!
Which song is it?
6. Some nice soothing 'doom and gloom' grunge came next. Cheerleaders all dressed in black, with big red 'Anarchy' circled A's on their vests, waved their pompoms and strutted their stuff in a high school gym, (until the riot started anyway.) Kurt Cobain's voice is immediately recognizable, but which song is this video for?
7. This next song has a catchy chorus, la la la-la la laa laaaaala la "the bartender and the thief were lovers," and a video based on "Apocalypse Now" and filmed on an army base in the jungle. Which band is it warbling merrily?
8. Possibly Gothson's favourite band in the world just now are My Chemical Romance, and I upset him deeply by saying the rhythm of this song reminded me of an old song called "Jack in the Box".
The tune is incredibly catchy and you find yourself humming it for ages.
The actual lyrics are "So darken your clothes, And strike a violent pose, Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me."
Which song is it?
9. In this next video, everyone and everything turns to cardboard cutouts and are carried away a bit at a time by 'scene-shifters' while the singer walks through the set alone. Even the swimming pool is carried away, and the "Hollywood" sign says "Hollowood."
Which band sing "All I know is that it feels like forever, And no one ever tells you, That forever feels like home" ?
10. This last song is "Mam's Revenge" - I sat Gothson down and forced his frail ears to suffer "I've got a bike you can ride it if you like, it's got a basket, a bell that rings, and things to make it look good."
Which band perform this merry ditty which also mentions a mouse named Gerald?
