Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Billy Idol starts us off with a creepy "face" song. What 1984 tune features Perri Lister singing 'Les yeux sans visage' in the background?

Answer: Eyes Without a Face

Perri Lister's French phrase (which translates to "Eyes Without a Face") is meant as a tribute to French director Georges Franju's movie of the same name. The video for this song featured Idol standing in a flaming hexagon surrounded by hooded figures.

2. In 2010, the Kings of Leon urged us to "Ride Out the Wave" in which "face" song?

Answer: The Face

"The Face" was featured on "Come Around Sundown". It was the fifth song on their fifth album.

3. Lady Gaga proved she was enigmatic when she released which 2008 "face" song?

Answer: Poker Face

Idina Menzel and Lea Michele recorded and performed this song on the TV show "Glee" as a slower, acoustic number.

Lady Gaga intentionally made this song gender-ambiguous to highlight the fact that she would fool both men and women into thinking she liked them.

4. In 1980, Monty Python released which "face" song?

Answer: Sit on My Face

This song was sung to the tune of "Sing As We Go", which caused some legal trouble for Monty Python. The FCC has described the song as "actionably indecent" and has fined at least one radio station for playing the song.

5. The Beatles included a "face" song on their 1965 "Help!" album. What was it?

Answer: I've Just Seen a Face

In the United States, this song actually appeared on the "Rubber Soul" album. It was written by Paul McCartney, and it was his Aunt Gin's favorite song.

6. What "face" song was a huge hit for Roberta Flack in 1972?

Answer: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The song was written by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger. Many groups, such as the Kingston Trio, recorded the song before Flack without as much success.

7. Jan Garber, Al Jolson, and Little Richard have all had some successful "face" time with which 1926 song?

Answer: Baby Face

Harry Akst wrote the music, and Benny Davis wrote the lyrics for this familiar song. It was also included in the soundtrack of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (1967).

8. The character Albert sings a "face" song in the 1960 musical "Bye Bye Birdie". What is it called?

Answer: Put on a Happy Face

"Bye Bye Birdie" is about a popular singer who is drafted into the US Army. Albert sings this song to inspire a girl to be optimistic.

9. Elton John put a "face" to music on his 1971 album "Madman Across the Water". What was the title of this song?

Answer: Razor Face

While it wasn't a commercial hit, the lyrics of "Razor Face" have been the source of some controversy. Some interpret it as a love song from Elton John (or Bernie Taupin as lyricist) to a man. Others insist the song is about a veteran returning home to find no one cares for him anymore.

10. In 1898, Carrie Breck and Grant Tullar wrote a "face" hymn. What is its name?

Answer: Face to Face with Christ, My Savior

The music from this song was inspired by a pastor remarking that a couple had saved the last of a jar of jelly "all for me" at a late-night dinner. Composer Grant Tullar changed the words the next day when he received a poem by Carrie Breck that fit the melody perfectly.
