Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the first song on CCR's first album?

Answer: "I Put a Spell On You"

This song, in my opinon, was a very unusual way to open a debut album. I didn't like this album as much as the other Creedence albums.

2. What is the longest song on the band's first album?

Answer: "Susie Q"

This was also the best song on the album. The version of this song on "Chronicle 1" had the instrumental part at the end cut off. But on "Chronicle 2", that instrumental was put on as "Susie Q (Part 2)".

3. What is the opening song on the band's second studio album?

Answer: "Born on the Bayou"

Creedence always opened their concerts with this song.

4. What song on "Bayou Country" reached the highest chart position?

Answer: "Proud Mary"

Following this song on the album was "Keep On Chooglin'", a 7-minute song which Creedence wrapped up most of their concerts with.

5. What song on the band's third album, "Green River", made the highest chart position?

Answer: "Bad Moon Rising"

Creedence Clearwater Revival made 3 studio albums in 1969. This was the second of the three, and is the band's only album with a title track.

6. How many tracks are on "Green River"?

Answer: 9

This band always tried to put as little amount of songs on an album as possible. This album was less than 30 minutes long.

7. CCR's fourth album, "Willy and the Poorboys", did not have a title track, but it was a lyric in one of the songs on the album.

Answer: True

It's in the refrain of the song, "Down on the Corner": "Down on the Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet."

8. What is the closing song on "Willy and the Poorboys"?

Answer: "Effigy"

This is another thing I found unusual about the band. A lot of the songs on the album are really jolly songs, but the closing song has to be this eerie-sounding 6-minute song.

9. How many songs out of the 11 on "Cosmo's Factory" are on the "Chronicle" compilation ablums?

Answer: 9

The only songs that were not on either of the "Chronicle" compilations were the 7-minute "Ramble Tamble" and the shortest song on the album, "Ooby Dooby".

10. The longest song on "Cosmo's Factory" is "Ramble Tamble".

Answer: False

CCR's version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" is 11 minutes long, and is the longest CCR song ever.

11. What additional instrument was used on the album, "Pendulum"?

Answer: organ

12. Which song on "Pendulum" has a song title similar to a previous song?

Answer: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain"

This song has a similarity to "Who'll Stop the Rain", because both of the song titles are questions about the rain.

13. Which member of the band was the only one who did not participate on the 1972 album, "Mardi Gras"?

Answer: Tom Fogerty

Just the other three guys worked on their final album.

14. What is the closing song on "Mardi Gras"?

Answer: "Sweet Hitch-Hiker"

"Someday Never Comes" could have also made a good finale. This album was the last album they ever made and was also their worst album ever. Like "Green River", it was less than 30 minutes long. "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" was the only really good song on the album.

15. Did the full band reunite ever reunite for a release under their old name?

Answer: No

Stu Cook and Doug Clifford had minor creative input into CCR and have collaborated with other personnel as Creedence Clearwater Revisited. This cannot be considered a reunion of the original band because John Fogerty, the genius and voice behind the band, wants no part of them or the project, and, unfortunately, his brother Tom has passed away.
