Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Many people sang this song over the years. From Glenn Miller to Frank Sinatra; even Sammy Davis Jr. sang it. What song was written by Johnny Mercer?

Answer: That Old Black Magic

Johnny was actually thinking of Judy Garland, when he wrote the song.

"That old black magic has me in its spell,
that old black magic that you weave so well."

The song was in the movie, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" also.

2. Three Dog Night sang "Black and White". What word is missing from these lyrics? "The _______ is black, the page is white."

Answer: Ink

Three Dog Night was one of the most popular bands in the early 70s. They were still performing in 2012. One of my favorite tunes would be "Joy to the World".

"Joy to the World", "Black and White" and "Mama Told Me" all topped the charts over the years at the number one spot!

3. Lots of colors were in the song, "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones. Which is NOT a color in the song?

Answer: Yellow

The song was written by both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and released in 1966.

"I see a red door and I want it painted black..."

"No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue..."

The song talks about the sun, but never the color yellow.

4. AC/DC sang this 'black' song where they've been 'back in the back of a Cadillac'. What song is this?

Answer: Back In Black

AC/DC originally set up their band in Sydney back in 1973 - two brothers by the names of Angus and Malcolm Young. There have been as many of 13 people in their band over the years. Some of the members include Bon Scott and Simon Wright.

"Back in Black" was not only a single hit but one of the highest selling albums in the world too!

5. A group called Soundgarden sang this 'Black' song about the rain being washed away. What is the name of this song?

Answer: Black Hole Sun

Soundgarden has many songs with the word 'black' in the title.

"Black Rain", "Black Saturday" and "Fell on Black Days".

The group is originally from the Seattle area. Chris Cornell is the lead singer. They have at least nine albums out. "Black Hole Sun" was written by Chris also.

6. Many artists have recorded this popular song over the years. Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and even Tiny Tim. What song was first recorded by Gene Austin in 1926?

Answer: Bye Bye Blackbird

This song was written by both Ray Henderson and Mort Dixon. There was even a movie in 2005 with the same name.

Paul McCartney recorded the song in 2012 and Ringo Starr even recorded it as well.

I leave you with these final words of the song, "Toodle oo! Farewell! Bye bye! Blackbird."

7. According to the song title by Warren Zevon, who was 'dressed in black'?

Answer: Angel

Warren was born in Chicago in 1947. He died of cancer in his 50s. He was a well known song writer. He wrote the very popular song, "Werewolves in London", which appeared in movies, including, "The Color Of Money".

8. This children's song ask the question, "have you any wool?". What is the title of this song?

Answer: Baa Baa Black Sheep

This 'song' or nursery rhyme was founded in the 1700s. This was one of the first songs I learned on a violin years back.

By the way, 'Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full'... of wool.

9. Frank Zappa wanted to turn something "Black" in this 60s song. What was it?

Answer: Water

Frank Zappa wrote the song about two neighbor boys of Frank's, while he was still a child in California.

Frank wrote another song about the brothers titled, "The Idiot Bastard Son" for the same album.

Be careful of neighbors, you never know what they'll write about next.
