Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which often misheard lyrics complete this refrain from "De Do Do Do De Da Da Da" by the Police? "'Cause when _____ _____ escapes you, Their logic ties you up and rapes you."

Answer: their eloquence

Sting said he wrote this song to illustrate how simple words can be so powerful, calling it "...an articulate song about being inarticulate." Sting said his young son wrote the title lyrics.

2. Chose the correct (although often misheard) lyrics to "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix: "'Scuse me ___________"

Answer: while I kiss the sky

"Purple Haze" is probably the most recognizable and popular Jimi Hendrix song. It is number two on the Rolling Stone list of greatest guitar songs of all time.

3. Not many people hear this one right: what phrase begins this line from Manfred Mann's Earth Band's " Blinded by the Light"? "__________, another runner in the night"

Answer: Revved up like a deuce

Bruce Springsteen originally wrote and played this song with the lyric "Cut loose like a deuce". "Deuce" was a slang for a 1932 Ford De Luxe coupe, one of the most popular cars to turn into a hot rod with a souped-up engine.

4. National anthems aren't always the easiest to sing, and "O Canada" has a phrase that not many get right. What is the correct end to this lyric? "O Canada, we stand _____"

Answer: on guard for thee

"O Canada" was written in 1860 with French lyrics; they were translated into English in 1906 but the strict translation didn't work as well, so a new English version was adopted in 1908. It became the official national anthem only in 1980 after decades as the de facto anthem.

5. The Swedish band ABBA sings clearly in English, but their "Dancing Queen" has one line that is often misheard. What completes this lyric? "See that girl, _____, _____ the dancing queen"

Answer: watch that scene, digging

"Dancing Queen" is ABBA's signature song, first released in 1976. It was the group's only number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 list. It was first performed live in the group's native Sweden for the wedding of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Silvia Summerlath. Queen Silvia requested another performance on her 50th birthday in 1993.

6. Watching the video for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines", you may not be paying much attention to the lyrics. If you do, you still may not be able to decipher these missing words. Listen closely and fill-in the blanks with the correct words: "Baby can you ____, ____ from Jamaica"

Answer: breathe, I got this

"Blurred Lines" was Robin Thicke's first song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 list in 2013. The song and video are controversial: one version of the video shows topless women, and some of the lyrics are seen by some as misogynistic and promoting date rape.

7. The Commodores' "Brick House" celebrates a very good looking young lady. What phrase correctly completes this lyric? "She's the one, the only one, built like _____"

Answer: an Amazon

"Brick House" was released in 1977 by the Commodores. The song began as a bass line laid down during a break in recording, with the whole band eventually joining in. The jam was recorded and lyrics were written that night, ostensibly by band member William King. It was only years later that King admitted that his wife, Shirley Hanna-King, actually wrote the lyrics.

8. It can be hard to understand even the titles of songs when they're sung, so you need to read the liner notes. What words complete the title of The Eagles tune "Life In The _____"?

Answer: fast lane

Co-author of the song, Glenn Frey, reported that he got the title when he asked the driver of his car to slow down; his answer "What do you mean? It's life in the fast lane!". Co-author guitarist Joe Walsh first riffed the central theme while warming up for a recording session.

9. Another video that may distract you from the lyrics is Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love". What is the correct beginning to this lyric? "__________, you're addicted to love."

Answer: Might as well face it

This is one of Robert Palmer's most iconic songs, in part because of the music video featuring fashion models. The models were dressed alike, wore heavy make up and moved in a robotic style, seeming to be mannequins come to life.

10. Generations of listeners have enjoyed Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", and many disagree on the correct lyrics for much of the song. Which words fill in the blanks for this lyric? "If there's a _____ in your _____"

Answer: bustle, hedgerow

Since its release in 1971 on the album "Led Zeppelin IV", "Stairway to Heaven" has become one of the most popular rock songs of all time. In 2000, U.S. radio industry sources said that the song had been played over 3,000,000 times; at eight minutes per play, that would take almost 46 years if played back-to-back.
