Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which group sang a song that ended "She's in love with me and I feel fine"?

Answer: The Beatles

"I Feel Fine" was written by John Lennon and was released by the Beatles in 1964. It was the 'A' side of their eighth single. It reached the top of the UK charts in December and stayed there for five weeks.

2. Which word completes the phrase "fine words butter no ___"?

Answer: parsnips

The phrase means that even though someone has promised to do something, there is no guarantee that they will do it. This phrase was used as early as 1639, when it appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary.

3. The British sitcom "A Fine Romance" starred which well-known British actress?

Answer: Judi Dench

Judi Dench played Laura Walton, a single middle-aged translator. She is paired up by her sister with Mike Selway (Michael Williams), a shy gardener. The series followed their awkward romance.

4. Which group recorded two fine songs: "One Fine Day" and "He's So Fine"?

Answer: The Chiffons

Both songs were hits for the all-girl group the Chiffons in 1963. "He's So Fine" was their first hit single. Eight years later George Harrison was accused of plagiarism of "He's So Fine" in his own composition "My Sweet Lord".

5. Which three words follow the phrase "this is a fine ___" to indicate a troublesome or vexing situation?

Answer: kettle of fish

No one seems to be sure where the phrase first came from. A kettle in the eighteenth century meant any kind of pan, and there was a tradition in northeast England for a gentleman to entertain at what was called a "kettle of fish". Salmon were caught in the river and were thrown into a boiling kettle.

However, scholars do not know how this literal meaning became an idiom. One suggestion is that the kettles of fish looked very messy with the bones, head and skin left in them after the fish had been eaten.

6. One of the Three Stooges was surnamed Fine. What was his first name?

Answer: Larry

The Three Stooges began with brothers Moe and Shemp Howard and their friend Larry Fine. Shemp was later replaced by his brother Curly. Larry Fine had performed as a violinist in vaudeville before teaming up with the Howard brothers.

7. The song "A Fine Romance" was popularised by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the film "Swing Time". Who composed the tune?

Answer: Jerome Kern

Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald also recorded the song in 1957. Lena Horne, too, sings it in the film "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" in 1993.

8. You should always read the fine ____ before signing a document. Which word is missing?

Answer: print

The 'fine print' refers to the words that are printed in very small type in a document. These tiny words often contain the most important information.

9. Who was George Clooney's co-star in the 1996 movie "One Fine Day"?

Answer: Michelle Pfeiffer

Clooney and Pfeiffer play two divorced parents whose children both miss their class field trip and are stuck with their parents for the day. The film is a series of amusing encounters between them during the day.

10. "It's a Fine Life" is sung by Nancy and Bet in which musical?

Answer: Oliver

"It's a Fine Life" is a song in which Nancy and Bet sing to Fagin's gang of boys. They extol the virtues of their rough and ready lives on the streets of 19th century London.
