Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Well I saw Lon Chaney, walking with the Queen."

Answer: England

Hopefully an easy one. The line is from Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London." London is the capital of England.

2. "Up to the mountains where I'm going to. If I ever get out of here, that's what I'm gonna do."

Answer: Nepal

"Katmandu" by Bob Seger. Located in the Himalayas, Katmandu really, really is in the mountains.

3. "And the world's your oyster. The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free."

Answer: Thailand

"One Night in Bangkok" from the musical "Chess" by Murray Head.

4. "Searching through the catacombs that night. I closed my eyes and threw a coin in a fountain."

Answer: Italy

"The Spanish Steps of Rome" by Toto. The references to the catacombs and the Trevi Fountain were additional hints.

5. "stoking the star-maker machinery, behind the popular song."

Answer: France

"A Free Man in Paris" by Joni Mitchell. I originally thought that this song was written from the point of view of a man. However, the first line of the song contains the text "he said," and so this song is really one long quotation.

6. "New York they say has got a whole lot of soul."

Answer: The Bahamas

"Funky Nassau" by the Beginning of the End. Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, has a population of 141,000 and is the smallest capital city in this quiz.

7. "Talk about her like a queen, dancing in an Eastern dream."

Answer: Japan

"Woman from Tokyo" by Richie Blackmore. In 1973 it was a hit for Deep Purple.

8. "I used to make a living, man. Picking the banana."

Answer: Cuba

"Havana Affair" by the Ramones. This song was later recorded by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

9. "Slow down, you crazy child. You're so ambitious for a juvenile."

Answer: Austria

"Vienna" by Billy Joel. His father lives there.

10. "I'm new. I wanna say that I'm just a little stuck on you."

Answer: Argentina

"Buenos Aires" from the musical "Evita" by Andrew Lloyd Weber. The lyrics were written by Tim Rice.
