Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Sometimes you could have it all but come up short. Which of these songs about almost having it all was sung by Whitney Houston?

Answer: "Didn't We Almost Have It All?"

"Didn't We Almost Have It All?" was Whitney Houston's second single in 1987. The Foo Fighters sang "Have It All" (2002), Dana Glover did "Almost Had It All" (2002), and Adele performed "Rolling in the Deep" (2011), which had the lyrics "we could have had it all".

2. Which rock group, who performed the title song for the movie "Highlander" (1986), sang "I Want It All"?

Answer: Queen

"I Want it All" was released in 1989 on "The Miracle" album. It reached 24 on the US Billboard 200.

3. The German band Die Toten Hosen have a song on the album "Ein kleines bisschen Horrorshau" that translates to "more of that" or "more of it". What is the German name of the song?

Answer: Mehr Davon

"Ein kleines bisschen Horrorshau" was released in 1988 and was inspired by the movie "A Clockwork Orange". The song "Mehr Davon" is about greed: wanting more of everything and acquiring it through any means.

4. John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest Americans ever, had it all until the Supreme Court stepped in. What was the name of Rockefeller's company that monopolized the oil industry until 1911?

Answer: Standard Oil

Standard Oil was forced to break up in 1911, because of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. By that time, Rockefeller's net worth was equivalent to $336 billion in 2016. At its height, Standard Oil held almost 90% of the world's market share.

5. If you actually found El Dorado, would you be able to buy it all?

Answer: No

The city of gold, El Dorado, appears to have come from a legend where a man would cover himself in gold dust for certain rituals. You can't buy anything from a myth.

6. By what nickname is the US presidential election process commonly called?

Answer: "Winner takes all"

The US presidential election gets that nickname because a candidate with the most popular votes wins all of a state's electoral votes. However, Maine and Nebraska allow their votes to be split.

Answer: Glass-Steagall Act

President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act into law which effectively repealed Glass-Steagall in 1998. The Triangle Shirtwaist fire spurred to creation of the Society of Safety Engineers and OSHA. The Teapot Dome "scandal" was actually legal at the time. What made it illegal was bribery by two oil companies to ensure they received the contract.

The Secretary of the Interior was convicted of taking large sums of money in bribes to issue no-bid contracts to the oil companies.

8. "The Winner Takes It All" was a hit song for what band that did have all the popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s?

Answer: ABBA

ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with their song "Waterloo". They went on to become some of the biggest international superstars ever.

9. In the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt", what does Trent Reznor say you can have all of?

Answer: empire of dirt

It might be a good deal if you're an ant, but the meaning of the lyric is that he has nothing left to give. Reznor said later that he didn't like the 1994 song to be covered because it was very personal to him.

10. "All or Nothing" is a song by which of the following artists?

Answer: O-Town

O-Town released the song "All or Nothing" on July 21, 2001. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for Song of the Year.
