Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Answer: Panic! At The Disco
Bands like Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco took great pleasure in writing songs with outrageously long titles. Sandwiched between the release of the band's biggest hit, "Sins" they released "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage" and "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off".
2. I Write The Songs
Answer: Barry Manilow
Song of the Year, Record of the Year, you couldn't avoid hearing this Barry Manilow pop classic in the mid 1970s. Like an anchor, Barry grew tired of the popularity of the song and followed it up with a novelty song called "I Really Do Write The Songs" that was released in 2006 on a remastered album of "This One's For You".
3. Everyday I Write The Book
Answer: Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello's single from "Punch The Clock" in 1983 got a major push from MTV for its stylish music video. The video mixed in clips of the band along with lookalikes of Prince Charles and Princess Lady Diana. In the funny video, Charles keeps trying in vain to impress Diana.
4. Last Song I'll Ever Write About A Girl
Answer: The Ataris
When you think The Ataris, the pop punk band's cover of Don Henley's "Boys Of Summer" comes to mind first. But their emo style shines brightly on the "Last Song I'll Ever Write About A Girl" from their "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts, Next 12 Exits" album in 1999.
5. All I Can Do Is Write About It
Answer: Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Gimme Back My Bullets" was fourth album by Southern rockers, Lynyrd Skynyrd. The title cut was the album's crowning moment and lead single but the album's last track, "All I Can Is Write About It" became a fan favorite for the sentimental down home lyrics.
6. Rewrite The Stars
Answer: Zac Efron and Zendaya
So I guess some actors can really sing! The soundtrack of "The Greatest Showman" showcased the vocal talents of Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams along with "Rewrite The Stars" featuring Zac Efron ("High School Musical" fame) and Zendaya ("Spiderman: Homecoming").
7. Write This Down
Answer: George Strait
"Write This Down" comes in as the thirty fifth number song on the Billboard Country Singles Chart in George Strait's amazing career. Despite his incredible success on the country charts, George has rarely scored a Hot 100 Pop song. "Write This Down", released in 1999, made it inside the Top 30 of the Pop Charts.
8. Write On Me
Answer: Fifth Harmony
Despite the title, the women in Fifth Harmony didn't write too many of their hit songs including "Write On Me". The song was written by a mega collaboration of Mikkel Eriksen, Tor Hermansen, Kygo, Priscilla Renea, and Simon Wilcox. The band's second single in 2016 is one of the slowest songs in the girl group's catalog and a welcome tropical sound to mix up their traditional pop style.
9. Write It In Red
Answer: Alan Jackson
In 2021, Alan Jackson finally released a long awaited new album, "Where Have You Gone". The emotional love song, "Write It In Red" has the memorable hook,
"A man don't need to know,
And I don't wanna hear
What's going through your head
Just take out your lipstick and write it in red."
10. Paperback Writer
Answer: The Beatles
The Lennon & McCartney classic, "Paperback Writer", topped the Billboard Singles Chart in 1966. For a Billboard Chart history fun fact, the song has the rare distinction of going to number one on the charts, losing the top position (to Frank Sinatra for "Strangers In The Night"), then going BACK to number one.
