Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "...When you're lying so close to me / There's no place I'd rather you be than with me..."

Answer: Love to Love You Baby

Of course, this was the song that started it all for Donna in America. Released in 1975, it remains one of her more 'controversial' hits.

2. "...baby please, please don't take your love from me / I am yours forevermore, 'till eternity..."

Answer: Heaven Knows

"Heaven Knows" was a collaboration between Donna and the group Brooklyn Dreams.

3. "...I need you, by me, beside me to guide me. / To hold me, to scold me, 'Cause when I'm bad, I'm so, so bad..."

Answer: Last Dance

Written by multi-talented artist, the late Paul Jabara, "Last Dance" was written with Donna in mind. Initially, she disliked the song. Later, however, she decided to record it. The song, which was featured on the soundtrack album and performed in the movie "Thank God It's Friday" by Donna, was a Top 10 hit.

It earned Jabara an American Music Award and a Grammy, and it also earned Donna a Grammy as well.

4. "...Sittin' here eatin' my heart out baby, waitin' for some lover to call. / Dialed about a thousand numbers lately, almost rang the phone off the wall..."

Answer: Hot Stuff

Featured on the "Bad Girls" LP, "Hot Stuff", another # 1 hit, earned Donna the 1979 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

5. "...Someone left a cake out in the rain. / I don't think that I can take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it / And I'll never have that recipe again..."

Answer: MacArthur Park

Written by Jimmy L. Webb and previously recorded by actor, Richard Harris, "MacArthur Park" was a # 1 smash. It has the distinction of being regarded as having some of the worst lyrics of all time!

6. "...I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too. / If by chance you heard it for yourself..."

Answer: On the Radio

"On the Radio" (one of my favorites), was featured in the 1980 film, "Foxes", which starred Jodie Foster and former Runaways band member, Cherie Currie.

7. "...Now don't you ask yourself / Who they are? / Like everybody else, they come from near and far..."

Answer: Bad Girls

"Bad Girls" was another # 1 hit for Donna. In fact, Donna is the first female artist to have three # 1 hits in the same year. She accomplished this feat with this song, "Hot Stuff", and "MacArthur Park".

8. "...Love just don't come easy / No it seldom does / When you find the perfect love / let it fill you up..."

Answer: Dim All the Lights

Written by Donna, this song was featured on her "Bad Girls" LP. It was another Top 10 hit.

9. "...Ooh, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free / Ooh, you and me, you and me, you and me, you and me, you and me..."

Answer: I Feel Love

An interesting tune, "I Feel Love", with its intense musical flow, was regarded as a scorchingly hot track. It was another Top 10 smash.

10. "...Nine a.m. on the hour hand, and she's waiting for the bell / And she's lookin' real pretty, just waitin' for her clientele..."

Answer: She Works Hard for the Money

This song, which was written by Donna and songwriter/producer, Michael Omartian, was from the album of the same name. According to Casey Casem, host of "America's Top 20", Donna was inspired to write the song after seeing a European lady, a powder room attendant, sleeping in a ladies room. Donna thought that the lady evidently works very hard, and the idea for the song was born.
