Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Green Day song starts with the following words: "Oh love, oh love, won't you rain on me tonight". Which artist released the song "Rain On Me" in 2003?

Answer: Ashanti

Ashanti is an American singer, who also sang with Jennifer Lopez in a remix of Jennifer's song "Ain't It Funny". Pitbull and Marc Anthony have a song of a similar name called "Rain Over Me".

2. As the song continues, we hear the following lyrics: "Oh life, oh life, please don't pass me by". The Beatles released "Don't Pass Me By" in 1968, but what was special about it?

Answer: The lead vocals were written and performed by drummer Ringo Starr

"Don't Pass Me By" was the first song to be composed and sung by Starr, whose real name is Richard Starkey. Paul McCartney accompanied him by playing the piano and the bass guitar, and Jack Fallon played the violin. The song was, in fact, produced by George Martin, but it certainly wasn't the last.

3. Next we hear the words, "Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop when the red lights flash". Who starred in the 2012 movie "Red Lights"?

Answer: Robert de Niro

"Red Lights" was directed by Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes, and starred Robert de Niro, Sigourney Weaver, and Cillian Murphy. The film is cataloged as a Spanish-American film, and it was taped at locations in Spain and Canada.

Answer: New York

Prince Royce, whose real name is Geoffrey Royce Rojas, was born in The Bronx, New York in 1989. New York is home to the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. It also is known for the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State.

5. Finally, we get to the chorus of the song, which goes like this: "Far away, far away, waste away tonight, I'm wearing my heart on the noose". What is a noose?

Answer: A loop in the end of a rope

A noose is a loop located at the end of a rope, an example could be a lasso. The surgical procedure to remove the heart can be called a heart transplant, or a cardiac operation.

6. The song keeps going: "Oh lights and action, I just can't be satisfied". If I were to say a 'cue' or 'order', commonly said by movie directors, which word would be missing?

Answer: Camera

It is possible you have heard this somewhere, as "Lights, Camera, Action" is not only a common phrase to say, but is also the name of a song by Mr. Cheeks, an album by Chico Slimani, a video game, and the third season of "The Wiggles".

7. This time I will skip a verse of the song and hear this instead: "Oh hours, and hours, like the dog years of the day". How many years is a human year in canine years?

Answer: It depends on various factors

It is common to think that a dog year equals seven human years, but it really depends on the breed, size and other features. It is also said that a canine year is 10.5 human years.

8. The following verse goes: "Old story, same old story, won't you see the light of day". Linguistically speaking, what is "same old story"?

Answer: An idiom

An idiom is an expression that is figurative or is not literal, so if I say something is a "same old story", I mean it is something that has happened before in a similar way.

A hyperbole, on the other hand, is an exaggeration, while a metaphor is a comparison without the use of "like" or "as", and a motif is a literary term meaning a theme or idea.

Answer: Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley, nicknamed the King of Rock and Roll, first recorded the song in 1961, but it has been covered by the British group UB40 and A-Teens, a Swedish pop group. Michael Jackson had a song with a similar title, though, called "I Just Can't Stop Loving You".

Answer: Yes

One song by Green Day is titled "Restless Heart Syndrome", which isn't very famous. Another is "Stray Heart", which actually reached position number 16 in the UK Rock Chart. Neither of them was featured on any billboards in the United States.
