Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which song has the lyrics "Midnight diamonds..."?

Answer: Miss You Nights

 Released in February of 1976, the song only made No. 15 in the UK charts. A re-release a decade later fared little better. Despite the poor chart performance, the song is still greatly received and definitely the fan's favourite.
2. What about the lyric "...apple pie..."? Can you remember which song it is?

Answer: Big Ship

 This little known song peaked at No. 8 in the charts in May of 1969. It was Cliff's best performance since "Congratulations", a year before, which reached No. 1.
3. Which song mentions "fishing" in its lyrics?

Answer: Goodbye Sam, Hello Samantha

 Callander/Murray/Stephens song from 1970. Another top five entry, but only just at No. 5 in the charts.
4. Which song had "shuttered" shops?

Answer: Scarlet Ribbons

 Found on Cliff's "Together" album, this song was never released as a single. Also on the album can be found three of Cliff's Christmas hits: "Mistletoe And Wine", "Saviour's Day" and of course "Together".
5. Where are we told to "go swiftly"?

Answer: Peace In Our Time

 A very religious orientated track, very much released in a time of anti-war feeling. Coming in 1992, it appealed to the public's mixed emotions over the Gulf War. As a result it was another top ten hit, at number 8.
6. "Apple" only appears in which of these songs?

Answer: I Love You

 Written by Bruce Welch of the Shadows the song was short, simple and had a great appeal. It was the Christmas Number One.
7. Which song says "...you're willing to change..."?

Answer: A Little In Love

 Nice song, but failed to make the top five upon release in the UK. Did make No.15 in 1981 though. It's writer Alan Tarney had already provided Cliff with the No. 1 "We Don't Talk Anymore" and helped in a couple of top five hits later in the decade.
8. What about "I Need You"? Which song is it from?

Answer: The Young Ones

 What many consider Cliff's signature tune. And of course a number from the hit motion picture of the same name. Topped the charts in January 1962 having been written by the Tepper/Bennett partnership. They also wrote "When The Girl In Your Arms".
9. Which Christmas hit features the word "gentlemen"?

Answer: Santa's List

 Managed No.5 in the UK charts in 2003. Despite it's release a few weeks before Christmas, the sales of the song remained fairly good, with it remaining in the top ten into the New Year.
10. And finally, where could we find some "hay"?

Answer: The Day I Met Marie

 "I lay on my back in the hay..."
Only made No. 11 back in November 1967, the best writer Marvin managed as a solo writer.
