Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where did Eminem say the bagpipes were from?

Answer: Baghdad

"Bagpipes from Baghdad" was a track from the album "Relapse," released in 2009. It was the sixth studio album by the American rapper Eminem. The album was the first after a four-year break due to a personal problem relating to an addiction to prescription sleeping medication. The album relates to drug-related problems with highs and lows, including rehabilitation and relapse.

The album was a huge commercial success, reaching the number one position in several charts around the world.
2. The Beastie Boys told us no sleep till when?

Answer: Brooklyn

"No Sleep Till Brooklyn" was released in 1987. The track is also listed on the band's debut album, "Licensed to Ill," released in 1986 in the US. The single peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart, while the album topped the charts on the US Billboard 200 and stalled at number seven on the UK Albums Chart.

The Beastie Boys were formed in 1981 in New York. The original members of the band were Adam Keefe Horovitz, known as "Ad-Rock," Adam Nathaniel Yauc, known as "MCA," and Michael Louis Diamond, known as "Mike D." The best-known songs from the band are "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)," "Intergalactic," "Alive," and "Ch-Check It Out." In 2012, The Beastie Boys disbanded.
3. Where in the world did Weezer sing about?

Answer: Beverly Hills

"Beverly Hills" is a song from the American band Weezer. The song was released in 2005 on the Geffen label. The song was written by Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer and lead guitarist for the band. On the charts, the record performed well, reaching number one on the US Alternative Airplay (Billboard) and number nine on the UK Singles Chart.

Hugh Hefner made an early appearance in the music video for this song, which was directed by Marcos Siega and shot at the Playboy Mansion, which is actually in the nearby community of Holmby Hills rather than Beverly Hills.
4. R.E.M. sang a song about which part of the U.S. state of Texas?

Answer: Houston

The song "Houston" is taken from the group's 2008 release of "Accelerate," their fourteenth studio album. The song was written in a joint collaboration between Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe. The song's lyrics are based on Hurricane Katrina in 2005, how certain people lost everything they owned, and the devastation that followed.

The first line of the song is: "If the storm doesn't kill me, the government will; I've got to get that out of my head."
5. Where were The Bangles going down to?

Answer: Liverpool

"Going Down to Liverpool" is a cover version by the Bangles, first released in 1984 in the US and 1985 in the UK. The original version was performed by The Waves, who later changed their name to Katrina and the Waves. The Bangles are an American band who were very successful in the 1980s with a string of several top-ten hits.

The song "Going Down to Liverpool" is featured on the band's debut album, "All Over the Place." Both the album and the single never really made a major impact on the charts.
6. Siouxsie & the Banshees visited a garden, in what part of the world?

Answer: Hong Kong

Siouxsie and the Banshees were originally a post-punk new wave band who later moved to the alternative rock scene. The song "Hong Kong Garden" was the band's first record, which went to the number seven position on the UK Singles Chart. The lead singer for the band was Siouxsie Sioux, who was also the main songwriter.

The soundtrack for the film "Marie Antoinette" had a compilation of new-wave and post-punk songs, including "Hong Kong Garden" and songs from Bow Wow Wow, Adam and the Ants, and New Order, to name but a few.
7. Who were the band that performed the song "Hamburg Song"?

Answer: Keane

The song "Hamburg Song" is a track from the band's second album, "Under the Iron Sea." In 1995, the band formed in East Sussex. The band went by the name Lotus Eaters at first, then Cherry Keane. Cherry was Lead vocalist Tom Chaplin's mother's friend, and upon her cancerous death, she bequeathed money to Tom's family. Shortly after her passing, the name Cherry was dropped by the band. Thus, starting in 1995, the group went by Keane. The single never charted, but the album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US Billboard 200.


The internal tension between Tom Chaplin and piano player Tim Rice-Oxley, and his inner thoughts, is referred to in the "Hamburg Song."
8. The American electronic music duo, The Chainsmokers, sang about a European city. What was the name of the city?

Answer: Paris

The Chainsmokers released "Paris" in 2017. "Paris" was the lead single from the duo's first album, "Memories.... Do Not Open." The track charted in several countries, including the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs (Billboard), where it topped the chart and peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart.

Originally, the duo were in the business of producing records that they remixed and then went on to become a worldwide phenomenon as DJs. The Chainsmokers consist of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall. 2014 saw the release of the duo's breakthrough song, "Selfie." The pair's popularity is confirmed by the more than a billion views their videos have received on the social media platform YouTube.
9. "New York State of Mind," was written and recorded by whom?

Answer: Billy Joel

Billy Joel wrote "New York State of Mind" in 1976. The song came from Billy Joel's fourth studio album, "Turnstiles." This particular song was only available on the album; however, it is a firm favourite of the fans. This song is one of Billy Joel's favourites; he often performs a live version at many of his concerts.

Billy Joel sang this song during the "Tribute to Heroes" telethon in 2001 to help the victims of the US terrorist attacks and to pay tribute to the rescue personnel who died in the catastrophe.

Joel was raised close to New York City on Long Island. He had recently moved back to New York after four years in Los Angeles. This song was inspired by his love of New York, which he missed while in Los Angeles.
10. "Detroit Rock City," was sung by what American heavy rock band?

Answer: KISS

Well, there's no mistaking the band Kiss with all their face makeup. The original line-up of Kiss was Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley. The band's style of music included a mixture of hard rock, heavy metal, shock rock, glam metal, and glam rock. Depending on your own personal genre, the 1970s were a good time for the band, with hard rock and heavy metal at the forefront.

The song "Detroit Rock City" was released as a single in 1976 but was regarded as a flop as it never charted. The song was written in a joint effort between Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin. Bob is a Canadian music producer who has worked with several rock bands over the years.

The song is also on the band's fourth studio album, "Destroyer," released in the same year as the single. The album fared better, peaking at number eleven on the US Billboard 200 and number 22 on the UK album chart.
