Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: When a man loves a woman

Simon is so grateful that you told him that the lyric to his favorite Percy Sledge song is "When a man loves a woman" that he gives you his Ipod.

"When A Man Loves A Woman" was written for Percy Sledge by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright. Michael Bolton sang it for his "Time, Love, and Tenderness" album in 1991 after he wanted to put another old love song on the album.

Answer: I'm all out of faith

After hearing that part of the chorus for "Torn" was "I'm all out of faith" instead of "I'm a leather face" Isabella felt free to sing the revised lyric out loud for everyone to hear.

"Torn" was the first hit for Natalie and her 1997 album "Left of the Middle".

Answer: We're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy

Uma now knows that the correct lyric in Seal's "Crazy" is "We're never going survive unless we get a little crazy."

In 1991, Seal's self-titled album came out with the hit "Crazy".

Answer: At the twilight's last gleaming

Boy, was Justin glad that his classmates corrected his lyrics from "At the skylight's last cleaning" to "At the twilight's last gleaming". Now Justin sings the national anthem loudly and with pride.

"The Star Spangled Banner" was written by Francis Key in 1814. The song was made the United States anthem in 1931.

5. Bob loves the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann", but he keeps getting one of the lyrics wrong. Instead of "Went to a dance looking for a man" what is the last word of the lyric supposed to be?

Answer: Romance

Thank goodness Bob now knows the lyric is "Went to a dance looking for romance". Now he doesn't get strange looks from people when he sings the lyric to his favorite Beach Boys song.

The Beach Boys recorded this song in 1965 for their live album, but due to the silliness of it they weren't going to put it on the album. Capitol Records had it put on the album and it went to number two.

Answer: Don't leave me in all this pain

When Nathan heard the correct lyrics, he was so embarrassed about singing them incorrectly that he never sang that song again. His friends cheered behind his back.

"Un-break My Heart" was sung by Toni Braxton on her 2001 album of the same name.

7. Penny wanted to sing her boyfriend a love song so she chose "With or Without You" by U2. During the song, Penny sang "See the phone twist in your side". What is the correct lyric?

Answer: See the thorn twist in your side

Penny's boyfriend gave her a kiss after she sang her love song to him and told her that her song was beautiful, but the correct lyric was "See the thorn twist in your side".

"With or Without You" was U2's first number hit in the United States. It was recorded on the 1987 "Joshua Tree" album.

Answer: No

After pulling the car over so she could contain her laughter, Lola explained to her daughter that the title of the song was "Islands in the Stream". Lola's daughter agreed the song sounded better that way and began to sing it correctly.

"Islands in the Stream" was recorded by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in 1993. According to Billboard magazine, it is the number one country duet.

Answer: Glances

Roger was embarrassed when he found out he was singing the wrong word, but Tammy didn't care and they continued to dance as the patron that told him the correct word finished the song for him.

"Stranger in the Night" was performed by Frank Sinatra in 1966. The song won Record of the Year.

Answer: With a broken wing, she carries her dreams

Thank you for helping me find the correct lyric to one of my favorite Martina McBride songs. "A Broken Wing" can be found on Martina's "Evolution" CD. I hope you enjoyed this quiz.
