Be You Angels? Quiz | Music Mixture

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Blue Monday" was recently covered by Orgy, but do you know which of these performed it before them?

Answer: New Order

Although Bill has claimed on more than one occasion to be the mastermind of this song, even going as far as to perform it at the World Summit in 1996, it is in fact New Order that can lay claim to this amazing achievement. Olivia's performance of "Goodbye Sandra Dee" in the hit musical "Grease", although sounding rather like a drunken rock star with a really deep voice, is not in fact the original Blue Monday.

2. Placebo covered which famous T-Rex hit?

Answer: "20th Century Boy"

Of course it was "20th Century Boy". "Man In The Cardboard Box" and "Blinded By Goldfish" actually appear on the Britney Spears remix album "Amongst The Catacombs Of The Nephren Ka", tenatively set for realease mid-2017. "Metal Groove", although a T-Rex song, is far too mellow to be covered by Placebo, the second heaviest band on the planet.

3. Tenacious D, the massive rock duo, covered which famous track on their platinum-selling fourth album?

Answer: None of these

That's right, none of them, because Tenacious D are so good that they don't have to cover other people's music. They played the greatest song in the world, and made their own tribute. They don't even have four albums, they don't even remember the words to the song they played on that fateful night. In fact their tribute sounds nothing like that song. It is just a tribute, you gotta believe me, and I wish you were there, just a matter of opinion, Ah, Damn! Good God, God lovin', So surprised to find you can't stop it....

4. "Whiskey In The Jar". A huge hit for Thin Lizzy back in the day, but who recently covered it with a 2-CD Single?

Answer: Metallica

Metallica, arguably the biggest rock/metal band EVER. They made millions and millions of pounds, and then tried to sue their fans for downloading their music. ROCK....

5. Limp Bizkit had one of their greatest moments with their cover of a famous classic. Originally it was not considered a rock tune, but they changed all that. What was the song?

Answer: "Faith"

George Michael's hit "Faith" was one of the first huge successes in the life of Limp Bizkit. Fronted by personality- lacking egomaniac Fred Durst and his neverending collection of Red Baseball caps, they quickly became one of the hottest properties on Planet Rock. Luckily sense prevailed, people realised just how annoying Fred's 'chipmunk on helium' voice was, and they slowly went downhill from there.

6. In mid-2002, one band singlehandedly defaced the name of Rock by shamelessly ripping off the title of one of Sepultura's greatest achievements. For this they should be slowly dipped in boiling oil, but who were they?

Answer: [spunge]

"Roots", though not an actual cover of the original Seps song, was used as the title for a [spunge] single. This is the reason they are no longer able to show their faces on Planet Rock for fear of retribution by Sepultura lovers the world over. Thought to be hiding away in a cave deep in the confines of the Scottish Highlands, they knew they couldn't fight Sepultura, and they ran.

7. However, they weren't the only band to deface rock in this way; a cover of Queen's hit "We Will Rock You" was a huge success for a 'pop' group in the not too distant past. Who were they?

Answer: Five

Yes, throwing crap in the face of real music fans the world over, Five decided to attempt to shed their pop image by telling the world that "We Will Rock You". No one fell for this total act, and lynch mobs were subsequently sent out to hunt down and dispose of the blasphemous 'Five'.

It remains a mystery whether they were caught, or are still in hiding. Maybe they are good friends with [spunge].

8. Away from the world of Rock/Metal we have the old classic "Uptown Girl". Made famous by the legendary Billy Joel, this track was also defaced in the name of 'Britpop'. Who by?

Answer: Westlife

How they thought they could get away with this unnoticed I have no idea. Did they really expect us to believe a masterpiece such as that was their own work? Well no, probably not, but they still covered it. So it's off to join Westlife and [spunge] then.

9. Madonna. Not the greatest female vocalist in the world, yet still one of the biggest stars in the world. She had a massive string of hits including the single "Papa Don't Preach". Who else had a hit with a cover of this track?

Answer: Kelly Osbourne

Although Britney has been known to cover some famous songs in her time, this was luckily not one of them. Not that Kelly Osbourne covering it makes it any better.

10. It's looking bad for music, with pop 'stars' stealing classic tunes the world over. Yet we still have hope. There are hundreds of up and coming amazing bands, set to take the Rock/Metal world by storm in the next few years. One of them did possibly the greatest cover of a song ever, and will go down in Music history with legends such as Sabbath, Metallica and Guns'N'Roses. Who are they?

Answer: Oh my god we are doomed

Yep, that's right, none of these have ever and will never pull off an amazing cover. If they attempt to then it will surely be the Scottish Caves for them. If this is the future of music on Planet Earth, then I'm going to release a spoken word version of the entire Beatles 'White Album' and make myself enough money to move to Mars.
The Beast Said... "Be you Angels?"
And we said... "Nay... We are but Men... ROCK!"
