Good! Quiz | Songs With Same Word

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Good Day Sunshine" never charted for this group, nor did any of their other two songs that would have qualified for this quiz, but it still stands the test of time as a classic, having been used to wake up many Space Shuttle crews, and to accompany the opening of Safeco Field's retractable roof in Seattle, Washington. Who first recorded "Good Day Sunshine"?

Answer: The Beatles

The Beatles also had lesser known songs entitled "Good Morning, Good Morning" and "Good Night". Coming from their album "Revolver", it has a great vibe to it, perfect to wake up to in the morning.

2. "Good Feeling" spans over two different decades, having used a sample from a 1962 Etta James recording, and being released in 2011. What rapper put us all in good feelings with "Good Feeling"?

Answer: Flo Rida

With writing credits involving Dr. Luke and Avicii, Flo Rida would bring this song all the way to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2012. Etta James' sample came from the song "Something's Got a Hold On Me". Sadly, almost coinciding with the song's peak popularity, Etta James passed away in January 2012, and Flo Rida quickly dedicated his song to memory of the Music Hall of Famer.

3. The second Billboard Number One hit off the 1989 album "The Raw and the Cooked" was "Good Thing". With the unique sound of Roland Gift's voice on lead vocals, who was the band to record "Good Thing"?

Answer: Fine Young Cannibals

Fine Young Cannibals had been sitting on this song for a while, as it had appeared in the 1987 movie "Tin Men". That movie was set in 1963, but the style of the song fit well with the movie's 1960s backdrop. "She Drives Me Crazy" was the first of their two Number One hits off their album, "The Raw and the Cooked".

But the band would break up before releasing another album. It's a 'good thing' to go out on top.

4. In the late 1970s, "Good Times" would rise outside of the disco and soul charts and reach Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week in August of 1979. Following the success of their other 1979 Number One hit "Le Freak", who brought us into the "Good Times" in the summer of 1979?

Answer: Chic

"Good Times" would become an influential song for many years after the original release, as its infectious bass line would be recreated many times in more popular songs. It also was the first rap/hip-hop song sampled in a Top 40 Billboard song, being the background behind Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight".

5. "Good Lovin'", a Number One song from 1966, appeared on the debut eponymous album of the group in question. Mixing a rhythm and blues sound that would be dubbed "blue-eyed soul", the song actually is a live recording re-engineered in the studio. Who hit the charts hard to start their music career in 1966?

Answer: The Young Rascals

"Good Lovin'" wasn't originally The Young Rascals' song; it was recorded by a couple of lesser known groups and never garnered much interest on the radio. But the lead singer from The Young Rascals heard it and wanted to incorporate it into their live sets. One of the performances got recorded, and they hit the big time.

The song has been covered by artists as diverse as Bobby McFerrin and The Grateful Dead.

6. The only song in the quiz to match the title of the quiz, "Good" became a big hit for an alternative rock band from the 1990s. It would make the Billboard Top 40 chart, and reach Number One on the Modern Rock Chart, and would remain their biggest hit. Who brought us "Good" in 1995?

Answer: Better Than Ezra

Better Than Ezra was formed in 1988, and didn't achieve mainstream success until this single, and would peak in popularity with their debut album, "Deluxe". They would be the subject of a Weekend Update joke on "Saturday Night Live" when Norm McDonald stated "Better Than Ezra was Number One on the college charts; at Number Two, Ezra."

7. "Good Time" would reach the Billboard Top Ten in 2012 as a duet with Carly Rae Jepsen. Following his success with the Number One hit "Fireflies", the artist's real name is Adam Young. What does he go by in the music industry?

Answer: Owl City

"Good Time" by Owl City would peak at Number One in Canada and New Zealand, and the Top Ten in many other countries. It would also be Carly Rae Jepsen's second bout with success in the Top ten, following her mega-hit, "Call Me Maybe".

8. "Good Riddance", the official title of the song, was never mentioned of the actual lyrics, so most people know it better by its subtitle "(Time of Your Life)". Released in 1997 and introducing the mainstream fans to a much more mellow sound than previous successful singles, what band hoped the listeners had "the time of your life"?

Answer: Green Day

Crossing over to some Adult Contemporary radio stations, and often being used on year-end prime time television compilations, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" was a 180-degree turn from the usual punk stylings of Green Day. While not charting on the Billboard Hot 100, it nearly reached the Top Ten of the Billboard Airplay chart.

They would gain the biggest success in 2004 with the release of the album "American Idiot" an album that would garner a Best Album Grammy and later a Broadway show based on its music.

9. One of the most expensive songs to produce in its time frame, "Good Vibrations" would be one of this group's biggest songs, and later gain more fame selling soft drinks on television commercials in the late 1970s. Who brought us "Good Vibrations" in 1966?

Answer: The Beach Boys

Apologies if you chose Marky Mark, admittedly he had a popular song called "Good Vibrations" in 1991, but Marky Mark Wahlberg wasn't even born in 1966, so Marky Mark's is not the song in question.

The Beach Boys spent one week at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, but lasting legacies feature Rolling Stone putting it at number six of the Greatest Rock and Roll Songs of All Time, a list released nearly forty years after the song came out. Sunkist also purchased the usage of the song to promote their soft drink, using the song in their campaign from 1978 to 1982.

10. "Good Life" found the charts in 2010, peaking at Number One on the Billboard Adult Music chart, and finding many Top Ten chartings across the world. What band continued their success achieved from their first single "Apologize" in 2007?

Answer: OneRepublic

OneRepublic nearly didn't make it into the mainstream industry; they were released by their label in 2005. Their original single "Apologize" was released in 2006, but upon getting picked up by another label, producer Timbaland took the song, remixed it, and put them into the Billboard Top Ten.

Their second album "Waking Up" brought continued success, including "Good Life", which has also been used as background music for countless products and movie trailers.
