Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'I lent my heart to the sappers round ___ ___'

Answer: Khe Sanh

This is the first line of the song. Khe Sanh is a place in Vietnam where the Americans fought a fierce battle against the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. Thanks to player "young&smart" for this information.

2. 'And I sold my soul with my ___ to the black market man'

Answer: cigarettes

Yes, sold his soul with his cigarettes, just like in jail.

3. 'How there were no V-day heroes in ____'

Answer: 1973

I think this is during the time of the Vietnam War. "19-dickety-3" is a term Grampa Simpson uses in "The Simpsons".

4. 'And how we sailed into ___ ___'

Answer: Sydney Harbour

Sydney Harbour is in Australia's city of Sydney. Brisbane Water is not in the city of Brisbane; it is in the state New South Wales, around the Gosford area.

5. What is Australia referred to as?

Answer: 'the lucky land'

'..and I was home to the lucky land'. Australia is called Down Under mainly by Americans, and the USA is commonly known as 'the land of opportunity'- or at least it used to be hundreds of years ago.

6. 'And their ___ were often ___'

Answer: legs, open

'And their legs were often open, but their minds were always closed'. A very true statement.

7. What drugs were needed?

Answer: novocaine and speed

The line goes, 'or the growing need for speed and Novocaine'.

8. Where did he hold a job?

Answer: on an oil rig

He 'held a job on an oil rig' and was 'flying choppers when I could'. So technically he held the oil rig job, not the choppers.

9. Where ain't the answer?

Answer: South East Asia

'I've been back to South East Asia, you know the answer sure ain't there'. Presumably, he returned to Vietnam.

10. 'The last plane out of ___'s almost gone'

Answer: Sydney

'Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone, only seven flying hours and I'll be landing in Hong Kong, and there ain't nothing like the kisses, from a jaded Chinese princess...'. Brisbane is not mentioned in the song at all.
