Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Patsy Cline

Patsy Cline took this song to number two on the US Country chart and number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100, but its longevity as a classic still endures. It also ranks as one of the most commonly sung songs in American karaoke.

Answer: Fine Young Cannibals

Fine Young Cannibals named themselves after a 1960's movie "All the Fine Young Cannibals". The group put together some greatest hits compilations in the 1990's and 2000's, but never truly got serious about continuing the momentum they had from their multi-platinum album, "The Raw and the Cooked".

Answer: Seal

This song would make the Top Ten in both the U.S. and UK Singles charts, and pave the way top more success in the future. In 2005, Seal married model and reality show host Heidi Klum. The scars upon his face below his eyes have been rumored to come from tribal ceremonies in Africa, but they are caused by a form of Lupus.

Answer: Madonna

Madonna has had double-digit number one songs in both the U.S. and UK Singles charts, and often not always with the same songs. Chart-topping hits on one side of the pond wouldn't always top the chart on the other side. So she has had huge success on both major singles charts.

She has also had over twenty number one singles in Canada. "Crazy For You" was recorded early in her career, prior to the release of her huge hit, "Like a Virgin". Her execs weren't interested in releasing it, as they feared it would dilute her success from "Virgin", but they decided to, and it promptly made number one in America (number two in Britain) as well.

Answer: Britney Spears

Britney Spears' third single of her career shows sometimes you can't write the best story, it just happens. "(You Drive Me) Crazy" would be a Top Ten single on many national charts, including the United States and Britain. This single would follow "...Baby One More Time" and "Sometimes", both off her debut album.

Answer: Heart

Heart's debut album, "Dreamboat Annie" would spawn three hits still played on classic rock stations today. "Crazy on You" remains a staple for the
still-touring Heart, due to the haunting timbre of Ann Wilson's voice, and the Wiccan-esque style of Nancy Wilson's guitar. Heart debuted this album in 1976.

Answer: Gnarls Barkley

Gnarls Barkley would never achieve the same success they did with "Crazy". "Rolling Stone" magazine labeled the song the best song from the 2000's. "Crazy" would be nominated for two Grammys, and win one.

Answer: Prince

"Let's Go Crazy" and "When Doves Cry" both went to number one, and the album they are from, "Purple Rain", is regularly looked at as one of the greatest albums of all time. Prince would go on to win a truckful of awards for the album, including an Oscar for Best Original Song Score.

Answer: Icehouse

All four bands gained fans outside of Australia, but Icehouse was the one with the hit song "Crazy". Opening with the lyric, "I've got a pocket full of holes", it fell into the same electronic sounding genre of most 1980's pop. "Crazy" would make Top 20 in the U.S., and number four in their native Australia.

Answer: Queen

While very successful in the United States, it was nothing compared to their native United Kingdom. Queen had THIRTEEN consecutive Top Five albums in Great Britain, including seven that would reach number one. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was a throwback to the 1950's, sporting a bit of a rockabilly sound not normally found from Queen.

Answer: The Boys

California brothers Khiry, Kajh, Hakim and Bilal would form The Boys and would have a short career in America in the 1990's. But soon after passing on a new record contract, they moved to Gambia, learned the language, and proceeded to start a brand new recording career with a new name, The Suns of Light.

Answer: Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce and Jay-Z worked together on "Crazy in Love" from the equally popular 2003 album, "Dangerously In Love". They would later marry in 2008.

Answer: Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers may be the "craziest" music artist of the quiz, as he had another country single that was titled "Crazy In Love" in 1990. Rogers was a major crossover artist having major success on the pop chart in addition to his already established success on the country charts.

Answer: Ozzy Osbourne

A live version of "Crazy Train" would be released as a single in 1987. The single has been used avidly in the sports world, often blaring from the speakers to spice up the crowd. It also is one of the most downloaded ringtones in history, being downladed over two million times. "Crazy Train" would appear first on Ozzy's debut solo album "Blizzard of Ozz".

Answer: Aerosmith

Aerosmith has had a stellar career, and the album "Get a Grip" went platinum over five times. But the similarities between "Crazy", "Amazing" and "Cryin'" couldn't be denied. In fact, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and Adam Sandler made fun of the fact, singing an "infomercial" advertising a new Aerosmith album consisting of songs all taken from these three songs. One "new" song was even titled "CrazyAmazinCryinAmazacrazy".
