Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: The Beatles

The group first called themselves the Beatals as a tribute to Buddy Holly and the Crickets, and
metamorphosed through things like The Silver Beetles and Silver Beats to the final name of The Beatles.

2. This band for the cruise ship "All Hope" is an Australian one whose lead singer used to wear a kilt. Their bestselling album is called "Back in Black". Who will be my band?

Answer: AC/DC

Malcolm and Angus Young were both born in Scotland as was Bon Scott, who died in February 1980. I first saw AC/DC in 1975 when they played at my local shopping centre, Corio Village and some of the songs they played included "High Voltage" and "TNT".

Answer: The B-52s

The B-52s were formed in Georgia in 1976. The girls in the band used to wear their hair in a beehive style that resembled the nose cone of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. The lyrics of "Rock Lobster" include:

"Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jellyfish"

Answer: KISS

KISS first formed in New York in 1973, and each member of the group had their own costume and makeup. Gene Simmons, known as the demon, had his vampire design based on the comic book character Black Bolt.

Answer: Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet originally evolved through names such as 'The Cut' and 'The Makers' but settled on Spandau Ballet after one of their stage assistants noticed some graffiti referring to Spandau Prison. When I was booking Spandau Ballet to perform on my boat they asked if they could have a violin player as well but I had to refuse as I did not want sax and violins on my boat.

Answer: ABBA

ABBA donated all of their royalties for the song "Chiquitita" to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) after it was featured in a 1979 UNICEF charity event. If I am unable to get ABBA, I hope to get "Bjorn Again" a tribute band formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1988.

7. The "All Hope" cruise ship has a band from England featuring a vocalist, two guitarists and a drummer. What would the name of this group, "who didn't really want to hurt you", be?

Answer: Culture Club

Boy George of the Culture Club once performed under the name of Lieutenant Lush with the band Bow Wow Wow. They decided on the name Culture Club, as they felt they embodied all different cultures within the four members of the group.

8. This group is an American all-girl group that had 'manic Mondays', and 'walked like Egyptians'. What is the name of this band to appear on the "All Hope" cruise ship?

Answer: The Bangles

The Bangles consists of Susanna Hoffs and sisters Vicki and Debbi Peterson. They went through name changes including The Colours, The Supersonic Bangs, and The Bangs.
Bardot were the initial winners of the Australian version of "Pop Stars", and spawned the riddle "What do you call a group of sheep that can only sing one note?" Baa-Doh.

Answer: The Little River Band

Another Australian legend, John Farnham, was the lead singer of the Little River Band for three years in the 1980s. The band has had at least thirty different members in its history.

Answer: Four Year Strong

The line-up for Four Year Strong has included Dan O'Connor, Alan Day, Jake Massucco and Joe Weiss. Dan Alan and Jake Doherty both went to Memorial High School in Worcester. The band's music can be described as a blend of pop punk and hardcore punk.
