Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the song "Hard Candy", "when you sleep you find your ________ in the night".

Answer: mother

I love this song! Adam Duritz writes about many different places in his lyrics. In this song he makes references to Long Island, New York, and even China.

2. What song says: "There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin"?

Answer: American Girls

Sheryl Crow's voice is heard in the background vocals of this feel good song.

3. Adam Duritz liked what kind of girls in "Good Time"?

Answer: red haired girls

He said he loves red haired girls and that he's "just another boy from Texas".

Courtesy of lyrics from the album "Hard Candy".

4. In "Butterfly in Reverse" who is better than the world?

Answer: Mary-Ann

I like this song because it reminds me of someone telling another person that they don't have to take other people's criticism and that they can be happy just being themselves.

5. Name this song: "I miss your hair, you miss my eyes."

Answer: Carriage

Adam Duritz makes several references to hair on this album. I can relate, because I love hair too- well, who doesn't?

6. Name the song: "But fall asleep next to me and have a dream".

Answer: Black and Blue

"Black and Blue" is a melancholy tune that deals with feelings of isolation and despair. It is sad to listen to, but it is so pretty with Adam Duritz's voice and the rich harmony added by Leona Naess.

7. Which song from Hard Candy says, "Click your heels and count back from three. Do you wanna go back?".

Answer: Butterfly in Reverse

I like this line because it reminds me of Dorothy clicking the heels of her ruby red slippers. Except the girl in this song does it in reverse, counting "back from three", signifying that she regrets something in her life and wants to "go back" and change it.

Courtesy of lyrics from the album "Hard Candy".

8. Complete the lyric: "American girls are all _________".

Answer: weather and noise

According to "American Girls", they are also "all feathers and cream".

Courtesy of lyrics from the album "Hard Candy".

9. Which country name completes the lyric: "Take a holiday in ____".

Answer: Spain

"Holiday in Spain" is so peaceful to listen to. The strings add to the already beautiful melody, making this song a slight tearjerker but pretty nonetheless. This is one of my favorite songs from the album.

10. In "New Frontier", miracle people have what type of hair?

Answer: marvelous

Again, another hair reference, which cracks me up. Later in the song a friend tells Duritz, "You need a girl with electrical hair".

Courtesy of lyrics from the album "Hard Candy".
