Answer: Lyin Eyes

"Lyin Eyes" was released in the U.S in 1975 on the "One of These Nights" album. It was written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The theme for the song came as Frey and Henley were eating at a restaurant. They saw a beautiful woman with a fat wealthy man. Knowing that she was "gold digging", Frey said, "Look, she can't even hide her Lyin Eyes". Thus, the song was born.

From Quiz Songs Over Time

Answer: After the Ball

A definite golden oldie, this song was written by the American Charles Harris in 1891. It relates the story of an old man telling his niece why he never married his sweetheart. It turned out he saw her kissing another man at the ball, but then refused to listen to her explanation, and dissolved their relationship. Sadly she dies (absolutely yummy musical hall stuff) and he finds out after her death that the other man was her brother. It's been performed over and over since then, as a single, by individual entertainers. Oh, and how they wrung the pathos out on stage when singing this lovely old number. The song originally appeared in the stage musical "A Trip to Chinatown" in 1891. This was then made into a silent movie that appeared years later, which is really hilarious when you think of it. It then re-emerged in the stage musical "Show Boat" in 1927, and again in two film versions of the same name - one made in 1936, and the one most of us would be familiar with, the 1957 musical with Kathryn Grayson. It also cropped up in two additional movies. These were the 1936 film "San Francisco" and the 1940 musical "Lillian Russell". I'd love to see that one if it ever pops up on late night television.

From Quiz Welcome to My Jukebox! (#4)

Answer: I've Got the Music in Me

Yeah, Kiki. I know how you feel. I've got the music in me, too, but unfortunately, not your voice and talent. British singer-songwriter Kiki Dee was born Pauline Matthews in 1947. She had another hit, a duet with Elton John in 1976, "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart." Strangely, on the flip side of my 45 of "I've Got the Music in Me" is another band, First Class, singing "Beach Baby," one of those irritatingly memorable (or memorably irritating) "get out of my head!" tunes. A "Who sang 'Beach Baby'?" trivia question might work really well if you're looking to stump somebody.

From Quiz Welcome To My Jukebox (#3)

Answer: On Broadway

The version on my juke box is George Benson's from 1978, although The Drifters did it first (1963) and arguably better. Benson's "Boardwalk" spent eight weeks on the U.S. Billboard Pop chart, hitting number nine. "Lady Blue" is on the flip side. Benson was hotter than hot from 1976-1981, then just seemed to disappear. Or so I thought. A look at his website shows he's released an album a year for several years.

From Quiz Rock Lyrics Through The Years #4

Answer: Buffalo Springfield - "For What It's Worth"

This 1967 folk rock gem was written by Stephen Stills and recorded by Buffalo Springfield, the group that also introduced Neil Young to the world. The song title does not appear anywhere in the lyrics. According to Stills, he brought the untitled demo to the record label and said "I have a song here, for what it's worth, if you want it," and that somehow ended up as the name.

From Quiz What's in a Name (Part 3)

Answer: 59th Street Bridge Song

The song is from Simon and Garfunkel's 1965 album "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme." Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were raised in the New York suburb of Queens and met in high school. The 59th Street Bridge is what locals in Queens call the Queensboro Bridge because it empties onto 59th Street in Manhattan.

From Quiz Welcome To My Jukebox (#2)

Answer: The Way You Do the Things You Do

This great song is on the flip or "B" side of a generally accepted greater song, "My Girl," by The Temptations. Whitburn's "Billboard's Book of [U.S.] Top 40 Hits" says "The Way You Do the Things You Do" was The Temps' first Top 40 (Pop) hit, nine weeks before "My Girl," which reached number one on the Pop chart. Gordy label, natch.

From Quiz Welcome to My Jukebox (#1)

Answer: I Heard It Through the Grapevine

My version of "Grapevine" is from 1968, Marvin Gaye all the way, although I appreciate Gladys Knight and the Pips' version from '67. ("Grapevine" was also covered by King Curtis in '68 and CCR in '76.) This was Marvin Gaye's biggest hit, spending 15 weeks at number one on the US Billboard Pop Singles chart. Tough question: What's on the flip side? Give that some thought and I'll tell you at the end of the quiz.

From Quiz Fill in the Title

Answer: Patience

"Patience" comes from the 1988 album "G N'R Lies". The most popular opinion on the origins of the song is that it is about the tense relationship between Axl Rose and his then-wife Erin Everly. It has been said by the band, though, that it is about Izzy Stradlin's ex-girlfriend Angela Nicoletti McCoy. Since the music and lyrics were primarily written by Izzy, the second explanation seems plausible. The music video for "Patience" is the last GNR video that Steven Adler appeared in. In 1990, Matt Sorum took over the drummer position in the band.

From Quiz Just a Random Lyrics Quiz II

Answer: "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Guns N Roses

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" was written by Bob Dylan and originally released by him in 1973. The Guns N Roses version is one of the most well-known covers. The song appeared on GnR's 1991 album "Use Your Illusion II". For some reason, the Guns N Roses version is slightly different, lyrically; the original Dylan lyrics are "That long black cloud is coming down. I feel like I'm knocking on Heaven's door."
