Belgian Music Trivia Questions
1. The first album ("Worst Case Scenario"), released in 1994: In "Suds & Soda", what is shouted about 159 times in the background throughout the song?

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: friday friday friday

This song was dEUS' first hit, the video was played on MTV several times and even made it into "Beavis & Butthead" (in that episode you could see beavis & butthead going: "Friday! Friday! Friday! Arh arh, yes, yes! Friday! Fridayyyy! Arh arh, yesss!" to this song). Another Belgian band; Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung (DAAU), made an instrumental cover of "Suds & Soda" for cello, accordion, violin and clarinet.

2. In 2000, the famous Belgian radio station 'Studio Brussel' organized a contest, called 'De Prijs'. The object of the contest was to cover the song 'I Can't Live In A Living Room'. The winning band was from Kontich. What's its name?

From Quiz Belgian Bands Quiz (difficult)

Answer: Fence

Fence was the winning band. Orange Black ,also from Kontich, became second, and the other bands didn't even participated.

3. "Fell madly in love with a couple of beautiful ..." (song: "Morticiachair")

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: ears

(its only variation) This song "Morticiachair", is also known as "Rudy's Song", and I think it's the only song on "Worst Case Scenario" that's sung mostly by Rudy Trouvé.

4. Which musician started his career as guitarist of dEUS, and founded the bands 'Kiss My Jazz' and 'Gore Slut'? Actually he's the guitarist of Dead Man Ray. Who is he?

From Quiz Belgian Bands Quiz (difficult)

Answer: Rudy Trouve

The correct answer is Rudy Trouve. All the others are also (ex)-dEUS-members. Stef Kamil left dEUS and founded Zita Swoon. Craig Ward moved to England and gave up his career as a professional musician. Tom Barman en Klaas still play for dEUS.

5. "Cause it's so hard to keep the dream alive And if it all comes down to this how will (glamour survive)"

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Hotel lounge (Be The Death Of Me)

The video for this song features the band fooling around in a hotel, with amongst others a scene where singer Tom Barman and bass player Stef K. Carlens are playing in a bathtub together... On a sidenote, "Worst Case Scenario" is the one dEUS album that I have found in commercial record stores in exotic locations such as Norway and Canada, pretty impressive for a Belgian band to have their debut cd distributed that widely. Other bands that have managed this are a.o. Hoover (Hooverphonic) and Front 242.

6. "Looking nova when your fashion's old It's kinda early but the story's told"

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Let's Get Lost

This is my personal favourite from this album. The album notes for this song say "untuned guitar ask Peter!", as far as I know this refers to Peter Vermeersch, who did a lot of work on all of the dEUS albums (including producing, mixing, clarinets etc.). And where there was Vermeersch back then, there was Vervloesem (Pierre), who provided amongst other things extra guitar and voices on this album.

7. "06:21:03:11 Up Evil", 1993

From Quiz Not Another Belgian Music Quiz!

Answer: Front 242

Industrial band with Patrick Codenys and Daniel B., who later formed Speed Tribe and shortly after Male or Female, together with Elko Blyweert (of Dead Man Ray and Franco Saint De Bakker fame). Elko also makes appearances with Front 242.

8. The intro to this album is read by A. Fernandez, and is not in English, what language is it in?

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: French

Full text: Au niveau des côtes, l'épicontioplagie est rarement associée à une épitrocléite due à la répétition des mouvements de sécussion et de pronosupération. Au niveau de l'interligne radiocarpe, les luxations sont rares. This was probably taken from some French book on surgery and is basically about some bone problems which rarely happen.

9. Jan Leyers, who became famous with his band 'Soulsister', founded another band when Soulsister splitted. The drummer from Soulsister and someone of 't Hof Van Commerce also played in this band. How was it called?

From Quiz Belgian Bands Quiz (difficult)

Answer: My Velma

10. "The People's Popsicle", 1994

From Quiz Not Another Belgian Music Quiz!

Answer: Milk The Bishop

All of the mentioned bands have Armand Bourgoignie in them, but Milk The Bishop IS Armand Bourgoignie. Milk The Bishop on stage, on the other hand, included, amongst others, Joost Zwegers, of Novastar fame (listed as Joost Zweeg back then) and Wim Avonts. For cheerful and only slightly cheesy pop, Milk The Bishop is your band.

11. Here starts the "my sister=my clock" part of the quiz, dEUS' second and possibly least popular album, released in 1995. "As the silver bullet finds the ..." (song: "Only A Colour To Her")

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: moose

First line from "Only A Colour To Her", the same song that brings us "a tipple steed duck", "a tattooed goose" and "my shaking hamster". Interesting tidbit: This whole album was recorded in 5 days time and was originally intended to be a maxi single.

12. "I became too much in love with her and love turned me into ..."

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: sick sugar

From "Sick Sugar", words by Trouvé. This album consists mostly of all the band members doing their own little thing, which is why the tracks are so diverse in sound. For instance, the weirdest sounding tracks are probably those by Rudy Trouvé ("Almost White", "Sweetness" and "Void"), while the eerie instrumental tracks are the trademark of violin guy Klaas Janzoons ("How To Row A Cat" and "Sans Titre Pour Sira").

13. "Blue Sky, Maybe", 1998

From Quiz Not Another Belgian Music Quiz!

Answer: Moxie

All I really know about this band is that it's very hard to find out they are Belgian, since almost all their albums have been released on non-Belgian labels. I believe they are also a Brussels-based band.

14. "headgear headhunter headiness heading headland headless headlight headline headlong headman headmaster headmistress head-office headphone headpiece headquarters headroom headshot headsman headstalk headstone headstrong head-waiter headway heady"

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Healthinsurance

The lyrics to this song come straight from an English dictionary and mean absolutely nothing. (A common practice in alternative Belgian music it seems.)

15. Peter Houben, known from 'Nemo' and 'Mitsoobishy Jacson' has a new band, a duo: 'Ultracowboy'. Who is the other half of the duo?

From Quiz Belgian Bands Quiz (difficult)

Answer: Remo Perotti

Remo Perotti is the other half. Guy Van Neuten was the guitarist of The Sands, Pascal Deweze of Metal Molly. Mauro was Peter's partner for 'Mitsoobishy Jacson'.

16. "Kiss Me, You Fool", 1998

From Quiz Not Another Belgian Music Quiz!

Answer: Nemo

Nemo are busy bees Peter Houben (whom I suspect of writing songs day and night continuously), Pascal Deweze (Shadowgraphic City, Metal Molly, Sukilove, Chitlin' Fooks, ...), Herman Houbrechts (best known as ex-drummer of Dead Man Ray and current drummer for Mauro), and Bert Maes (Ex-Sister Pou Pou).

17. "Her boyfriend takes lots of speed, and a little while ago he cast some kind of voodoo-spell on Stef. I got really scared, because I don't trust that South-American wizardry"

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Glovesong

I can't say what *exactly* this song is about, at some point there's mention of a glove pair which should have 4 fingers on one hand and 6 on the other...

18. Which band isn't from Limburg?

From Quiz Belgian Bands Quiz (difficult)

Answer: Red Zebra

Red Zebra is from West-Vlaanderen.

19. "Universal Love Music", 2000

From Quiz Not Another Belgian Music Quiz!

Answer: Kamino

The debut album of Kamino (formerly known as Nancy*). With lighthearted titles as "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?" and "Tuduptup Girls", Kamino brings us, as they say in the album title, universal love music. All the bands I named in this quiz are Belgian, with the exception of Ohgr (Canadian), Ze Drugsies, and Ampère (I made those up). Check them all out if you get the chance!

20. At the start of "The Horror Partyjokes" a man mysteriously credited only as 'Sergey' tells a tale about a monster called Wi. What language is being spoken?

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Ukrainian

A last bit of info to close the "My Sister=My Clock" part of the quiz, the last track "Lorre In The Forest" is a recording of Rudy Trouvé's niece Lore singing.

21. Which band doesn't match in the row?

From Quiz Belgian Bands Quiz (difficult)

Answer: Gorki

Gorki doesn't match! All the other bands have bald guitarists!

22. On to "In A Bar Under The Sea", the third album, released in 1996 "my memory's a ..." (song: "Serpentine")

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: broken machine

Serpentine is about "unfaithfulness, and how difficult it is to have a lasting relationship". Tom Barman got the inspiration for this song's lyrics from an interview with Sean Penn in which Penn said "You do it straight or you do it serpentine." Sean Penn is one of Tom Barman's favourite actors.

23. "Talk for hours about the politics of ..." (song: "A Shocking Lack Thereof")

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Mickey Mouse

Did you know Tom Barman was supposed to write a song together with Arno (another crazy belgian singer) for "Toy Story"? Well three months after recording the demo for this song Tom was arrested and three days later Disney called and cancelled the deal for the song they were supposed to write. About "A Shocking Lack Thereof", the music was written completely by Klaas Janzoons.

24. "Baby baby just drown me in your Sweet White."

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: I Don't Mind Whatever Happens

This song was recorded by a listener of radiostation Studio Brussel when dEUS were in France and played this song for Studio Brussel over the phone.

25. "He said: "No more loud music""

From Quiz A dEUS Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Theme From Turnpike

First of all, the music looped in this song is a sample of "Far Wells, Mill Valley" by Charles Mingus. The videoclip for this song shows two men walking along the Champs Elysées in Paris, Seymour Cassel (a comedian) and Sam Loewyck, a dancer from Les Ballets C de la B. It was shown in belgian theatres as a short film before Trainspotting. Furthermore it was censored by MTV because Loewyck's dance resembles an epilepsy crisis and would be seen as 'making fun of' according to them. Lastly, there is NO actual movie called Turnpike that this is the theme for (yet).
