Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Hi everyone. May I sit down? I'm Robert Palmer and I'm seeing the doctor today because "I got a bad case of___________". What completes Robert's quote?

Answer: loving you

No pills are gonna cure his ills because he's got a "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)". This song was a big hit in 1979 for Palmer who left us too soon in 2003. He died of a heart attack at age 54.

Answer: Dizzy

Tommy Roe had a number 2 hit in 1968 with "Dizzy". Some other great Tommy Roe hits were "Sheila", "Sweet Pea", and "Hooray for Hazel". Another knockout version of "Dizzy" is available by European group Boney M.

Answer: The Rolling Stones

An ironic drug abuse song by The Rolling Stones from 1966 originally on the "Aftermath" album. "Mother's Little Helper" peaked at number 8 in both the U.K. and U.S.

Answer: Dr. Robert

It's The Beatles, of course. The track is on the U.S. album "Yesterday and Today".

Answer: Chills and Fever

"Chills and Fever" is a very cool song from the very early sixties by Ronnie Love, later covered nicely by Tom Jones. Information on Ronnie Love is mysteriously scant. Neither version of this great song did well on charts.

Answer: Lobotomy

The patient in question here has had a "Teenage Lobotomy". The song is on the Ramones album "Rocket to Russia".

Answer: You always mumbo dogface to the banana patch.

"Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" was an edgy, biting song for its time that hit number 8 in the U.K. and U.S. in March of 1966.

Answer: Boogie Woogie Flu

Huey Smith and the Clowns hit the pop and R&B charts in 1957 with "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu". Then, in 1972, Johnny Rivers recorded a decent cover of the song that went to number 6 in the U.S.

Answer: Cold Turkey

"Cold Turkey" is a screaming, grim musical telling of drug withdrawal. One line toward end of song goes: "I promise you anything, get me out of this hell". The blasting Plastic Ono Band warning hit UK charts at number 18 in 1969 and number 30 in the U.S. Eric Clapton does guitar work on the song.

Answer: Medicine

At the height of the drug-addled sixties came this rare "natural high" song about the power of love. The artist was born James Barry Keefer, but recorded as Keith. The song went to number 7 in the U.S. in 1967. The title refers to the generally accepted "normal" mark on an oral thermometer.
