Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Finish the lyric: "Stories of illness, songs of improving, and everyone talks about _____________"

Answer: Change

 This is from "Heart and Music", which sort of introduces the moral of the show.
"Oh, you gotta have heart and music! You gotta have heart and music! Heart and music get along! Oh you gotta have heart and music! You gotta have heart and music! Heart and music make a song!"
2. Is this how the song really goes? "Food is good, but I'd rather be sailing. Sex is nice but I'd rather be sailing. People are swell, but I'd rather be sailing over the horizon!"

Answer: No

This is from "Sailing", which is when Roger, Gordo's boyfriend, describes his love of sailing.
"I'd rather be sailing, yes I would, on an open sea. I'd stand there inhaling if I could, feeling wild and free. The sun is on my neck, the wind is in my face. The water's incredibly blue, and I'd rather be sailing. Yes, I'd want to go sail, and then come home to you."
3. When Rhoda asks 'Why is the smart son always the gay son?', everyone tells her it's which of Schwinn's laws of genetics?

Answer: 2nd

 This is from "Gordo's Law of Genetics", which explains Gordo's theory that the bad trait will 'always predominate'.

"Smart or dumb, the dumb will predominate. Fat or thin, the fat will predominate. Lazy or not, the lazy will predominate."
4. Fill in the Blank: "Mommy's biting his ________ as they roll on the deck, and they're off!"

Answer: Neck

 From "And They're Off", which mainly explains Gordo's parents' relationship.

"There is blood on the ground! And the band starts to play as the horses go round. And they're off!"
5. Richard (The Nice Nurse) told Gordo not to tell little children about his life because 'It's going to scare them'.

Answer: Yes

"Poor, Unsuccessful and Fat" shows how Richard feels about his life, and reveals that Gordo is not very optimistic about his own life as well.

"I'm poor, unsuccessful, poor, unsuccessful and fat! And getting older..."
6. What comes next? "Sitting becalmed in the lee of Cuttyhunk, hotter than a __________!"

Answer: Pregnant cow

 This is from "Sitting Becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk," which shows Gordo trying to remain calm with thoughts of sailing while getting an MRI scan.

"Wating for the wind to carry us somewhere, somehow."
7. What does Rita think will help change the government?

Answer: Killing the mayor

 This is from the song "Change", which introduces Rita the homeless lady.

"Pennies, or nickels, or dimes! We live in perilous times!"
8. How does the lyric end? "Yes, I'll survive whatever you throw at me! Yes, the world is _______!"

Answer: Grand

 From "Yes", which is a song Gordo is writing for his 'satanic' boss, Mr. Bungee.

"Yes is a good word. No is a bad word. The preferred word in any situation is 'Yes, I can'. 'Yes I'd like to that.'"
9. True or False? Mr. Bungee tells Gordo that when he's feeling low, he should eat spaghetti.

Answer: True

This is from "Don't Give In", sung by Mr. Bungee, who tells Gordo in his dreams to keep going, which helps Gordo awake from a coma.

"When you wanna quit cause nothing works, don't give in. Quitting is the specialty of jerks, don't give in. Simply keep your focus on what lies ahead. Don't play games. Don't play dead. Begin. Those who are marking time, wake up! Life is a cause that you have to take up! Don't give in!"
10. In the beginning of the show, the cast sings "Heart and Music." At the end, the song is reprised, substituting 'Heart' with what word?

Answer: Time

 From "Time and Music", which is used to tie everything together, and stress the importance of making the most of the time you have.

"Time and music make a song!"

I hope you had a fun time!
