Games and Toys in Songs Trivia Questions
1. In 1964, the Four Seasons had a number one hit with a song about my second cousin once-removed; what was the name of this popular song?

From Quiz Musical Dolls

Answer: Ragdoll

"Ragdoll" was a number one hit in both the U.S. and England. So popular was the melody that it was remade in 1967 by the English band The Tremeloes. In 1988 the American hard rock group released a song with the same name but different lyrics and melody. What can I say...my cousin, the rag doll, is very popular!

2. Here is Martika, an American lady old enough to stop playing with her brother's toys. What are they?

From Quiz Toys In The Attic

Answer: Toy Soldiers

"Toy Soldiers" was a UK number 5 hit in 1989 for Martika. (Real name Marta Marrera). She also hit the charts with the Prince song "Love...Thy Will Be Done".

3. Who sang 'We all play the game, when we dare, we cheat ourselves at solitaire'?

From Quiz It's in the Cards

Answer: Janis Ian

The line was from the song "At Seventeen." 'Playing solitaire' is an appropriate metaphor for not getting dates.

4. In 1943, The Mills Brothers had the number one song for twelve weeks with their song about my Aunt Hildegaard who was which kind of two dimensional doll?

From Quiz Musical Dolls

Answer: Paper doll

For three months the song "Paper Doll" stayed at the top of the Billboard charts as the most popular song in the country. The song is listed in the Grammy Hall of Fame and the single sold over ten million copies world-wide. Aunt Hildegaard said the tribute was wonderful, it gave her the big head, and she started to try and argue that she was actually three-dimensional. Which, owing to the fact that paper does have thickness, albeit not much, I guess that she is correct.

5. Motorhead had a 1980 hit with "___ of Spades"?

From Quiz Musical Picture Cards; Ace, King, Queen or Jack?

Answer: Ace

A number fifteen hit for Lemmy and the boys, although it should have done much better. My kids have grown up thinking it is the law to turn up the car radio full-blast whenever "Ace of Spades" gets played!

6. The late pianist Russ Conway liked to play with toy what?

From Quiz Toys In The Attic

Answer: Balloons

"Toy Balloons" reached number 7 for Mr Conway back in 1961. I'm not actually sure how you tell the difference between a toy balloon and a real one!

7. Who sang about dealing card games with the old men in the club car?

From Quiz It's in the Cards

Answer: Arlo Guthrie

From "The City of New Orleans" by Steve Goodman. Goodman wrote the song and asked Arlo Guthrie to find someone to record it.

8. KC and The Sunshine Band had their first British hit single in 1974 with "___ of Clubs"?

From Quiz Musical Picture Cards; Ace, King, Queen or Jack?

Answer: Queen

This was the start of a run of successful singles for the Miami-based disco and funk outfit. "Queen of Clubs" reached number seven in the Summer of 1974. They had to wait nine long years before finally hitting the top spot with "Give It Up" in 1983.

9. Which old enough to know better group were playing with a "Rag Doll" in 1964?

From Quiz Toys In The Attic

Answer: Four Seasons

Featuring the high vocals of Frankie Valli, this was a big hit on both side of the Atlantic for these US hitmakers. Other hits include "Let's Hang On" and "Sherry".

10. In 'The Death of John Smith' by NOFX, what game does the singer have to look forward to?

From Quiz It's in the Cards

Answer: my bridge game

Since I was doing a quiz on card games songs, I had to work in my favorite game. There aren't very many bridge references in songs. I found a play titled "Johnny No Trump" but unfortunately it was not a musical, and I found several bridge terms in songs (grand slam, vulnerable) that were not bridge terms in the contexts used.

11. "Doll on a Music Box" was about my sister-in-law's first cousin Anna, and was first performed in which 1968 children's musical?

From Quiz Musical Dolls

Answer: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was a children's musical based on novelist Ian Fleming's novel of the same name. One of the characters is named Truly Scrumptious and while singing this song she is on a pedestal dressed as a music box dancer. It is a lamentation about her rigidness and the facade behind which she hides. It does remind me of my family member.

12. Which act had a hit single in 1974 with "How Long"?

From Quiz Musical Picture Cards; Ace, King, Queen or Jack?

Answer: Ace

Ace only had the one hit single; "How Long" reached number twenty in 1974. However it did give a first chart outing to Paul Carrack who went on to greater success both with Squeeze and with Mike and The Mechanics.

13. Goodness me! Look at Tommy Bruce and the Bruisers, a nice macho, tough sounding lot, you would think. But no, what are they crying over?

From Quiz Toys In The Attic

Answer: A Broken Doll

"Ain't Misbehavin'" was the first hit for Tommy Bruce and The Bruisers, reaching number 3 in 1960. The follow-up, "Broken Doll" only reached 36 however.

14. Who sang, 'You always said the cards would never do you wrong'?

From Quiz It's in the Cards

Answer: Bob Seger

15. What is the nomadic sounding name for the back-up group for Cliff Richard in his 1959 song about my mother called "Living Doll"?

From Quiz Musical Dolls

Answer: The Drifters

16. One half of Tenacious D is ___ Black?

From Quiz Musical Picture Cards; Ace, King, Queen or Jack?

Answer: Jack

Tenacious D are of course a 'mock-rock' duo comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Their best known song is probably "Tribute" but much of their output gets very limited airplay on TV and radio on account of its rather choice language and its risque subject matter.

17. Who played solitaire 'til dawn, with a pack of fifty-one?

Answer: Statler Brothers

From the song "Flowers on the Wall". This song about smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo reached number 4 in 1966.

After the break-up of Love Sculpture, Dave had solo success with, among others, "I Hear You Knocking" (number one) and "Baby I Love You" (eight). "Queen of Hearts" reached number eleven in 1979.

Answer: Desperado

The Queen of Diamonds is also the only queen for which I could not find a song title.

21. "From a Jack to a ___" was a 1963 number two hit for Ned Miller?

From Quiz Musical Picture Cards; Ace, King, Queen or Jack?

Answer: King

A country song which crossed over into mainstream "From a Jack to a King" relied heavily on the playing card motif; "From a Jack to a King. From loneliness to a wedding ring. I played an Ace and I won a Queen, You made me King of your heart." Quite handy if you're compiling a quiz about playing cards in music.

22. Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers are sitting in a corner watching cartoons. Which one is keeping them amused?

From Quiz Toys In The Attic

Answer: "Roadrunner"

27. In 2009, which Grammy Award winning singer released her SECOND album called "Epiphany" which included a song about my daughter called "Porcelain Doll"?

From Quiz Musical Dolls

Answer: Chrisette Michele

"Porcelain Doll" is the 11th song on Chrisette Michele's 2009 album "Epiphany". The song is a plea to be treated like a capable, intelligent, mature woman instead of a delicate, breakable porcelain doll. It is a request for respect. It mirrors the requests made by teenage girls to their parents all over the world. They don't seem to understand that they will always be our porcelain dolls.
