Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Don't play the game of time".

Answer: Fill Your Heart

This is the only song on the record that wasn't written by David Bowie but by two men named Biff Rose and Paul Williams.

2. "It seemed the taste was not so sweet".

Answer: Changes

The most famous song coming from "Hunky Dory".

3. "And the world was asleep to our latent fuss".

Answer: The Bewlay Brothers

A great song about David Bowie's half-brother Terry Burns.

4. "Then we lost your train of thought".

Answer: Song For Bob Dylan

David Bowie pays tribute to Bob Dylan with an excellent song. Dylan's son Jakob covered Bowie's "Heroes" almost 30 years after the release of "Hunky Dory" in 1971.

5. "A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me".

Answer: Oh! You Pretty Things

A very catchy tune, great vocals.

6. "Clara puts her head between her paws".

Answer: Eight Line Poem

Good little song, well it's more a poem than a song, we could say it's both!

7. "But the film is a saddening bore".

Answer: Life On Mars?

My favourite song from "Hunky Dory" and maybe from all David Bowie's songs, although it's very hard to choose!

8. "If you stay you won't be sorry".

Answer: Kooks

A cute song written for his first child Zowie aka Joe aka Duncan! He is now over 30 years old.

9. "Dress my friends up just for show".

Answer: Andy Warhol

A nice tribute to Andy Warhol. They were good friends back in the days. David Bowie even played Andy Warhol back in 1996 in a movie called "Basquiat".

10. "I'm not a prophet or a stone age man".

Answer: Quicksand

You must check out the live version of this song recorded with Robert Smith from The Cure back in 1997 for David Bowie's 50th birthday party in New York.
