Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Complete the name of the album: "Maybe You Should ________"

Answer: Drive

"Maybe You Should Drive" was the band's second album.

2. In which of the following US sitcoms did the Barenaked Ladies make a guest appearance?

Answer: Two Guys and a Girl

Barenaked Ladies have appeared on the soundtracks to both "Friends" and "Ally McBeal" but never actually made an appearance on either those shows or "Frazier".

They did, however, pop up quite a few times in an episode called "Two Guys, a Girl and Barenaked Ladies".

3. According to the lyrics of the rare track "Stephen Page is Having a Baby", what will he call his baby if it's a girl?

Answer: Gordon

Apparently, he just likes the name Gordon.

"Who said boys could never give birth?"

4. On which album would you find the track "Break Your Heart"?

Answer: Born on a Pirate Ship

Whilst they're probably more well known for their sillier, more energetic songs, Barenaked Ladies are capable of producing incredibly moving songs too.

5. Which of these crayon colours is not mentioned in "Her Life in a Nutshell"?

Answer: Mauvelous

"She memorised every pencil crayon colour in the box
Her blue green eyes complement the burnt sienna in her locks"

They don't labour the point any more!

6. Which of these isn't mentioned as one of the things Stephen Page can do to win Enid's affections in the song "Enid"?

Answer: Walk the dog

"I can get a job, I can pay the phone bills
I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol,
I can work overtime, I can work in a mine,
I can do it all for you,
But I don't want to."

7. What was the name of the album of festive songs released by Barenaked Ladies in 2004?

Answer: Barenaked for the Holidays

An unusual album, to say the least. "Barenaked for the Holidays" contains a collection of traditional Christmas and Hanukah songs as well as a few original Christmas-based songs.

The album was released on the band's own "Desperation" label which explains a lot. Although, it doesn't explain how they managed to persuade Michael Buble or Sarah McLachlan to provide guest vocals.

8. How many studio albums did Barenaked Ladies produce before releasing their festive album in 2004? (Only count original albums, not compilation albums or EPs).

Answer: 6

Their studio albums up to that point are: "Gordon" (1992), "Maybe You Should Drive" (1994), "Born on a Pirate Ship" (1996), "Stunt" (1998), "Maroon" (2000), "Everything to Everyone" (2003), "Barenaked for the Holidays" (2004).

They also released a live album, "Rock Spectacle" (1996), and a compilation "Disc One: All the Greatest Hits 1991-2001" (2001).

9. Barenaked Ladies produced a compilation album in 2001. The title for this album was taken from which song?

Answer: Box Set

"Disk one, it's where we've begun
It's all our greatest hits
And if you are a fan then you know that you've already got'em"

10. "If I had a million dollars", what wouldn't I buy you? (Obviously, I do everything by the lyrics of Barenaked Ladies songs)

Answer: A Derringer

I'd certainly buy you some furniture: maybe a nice Chesterfield or an ottoman.

I'd definitely buy you some Art: a Picasso or a Garfunkel.

Why on earth would you want a Derringer though? That would be silly.
