Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who recorded the 1967 hit "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron"?

Answer: The Royal Guardsmen

A mere four weeks after the publication of the first Snoopy comic featuring the Red Baron, The Royal Guardsmen released this vinyl hit in 1966. The song proved to be a substantial hit in the later part of 1966 and early 1967. The band would go on to write several more Snoopy songs, including one from 2006 called "Snoopy Vs. Osama".

Answer: Penny Lane

"Happy Together" was the only single by The Turtles that went to number one. The song has been features in various TV shows and films. "The Simpsons" use the song in several different episodes.

Answer: Phoenix, Arizona

Dyke & The Blazers first recorded the song in 1967. However, it was Wilson Pickett who had the hit with the song. "Funky Broadway" is the first charting single to actually have the word "Funk" in its title.

Answer: Mississippi Delta

Originally "Ode to Billy Joe" was over seven minutes long. The record company cut the recording in half and added strings and relegated the original A-Side, a blues song called "Mississippi Delta", to the B-Side. The song was so successful nine years later both a novel and a film were made based off the song.

Bob Dylan, a personal hero of mine, parodies the song in the "Basement Tapes" song "Clothesline Saga".

5. Steve Wonder wrote the song "I was Made to Love Her" with what member of his family?

Answer: Mother

The song was written by Stevie Wonder, Lula Mae Hardaway, Henry Cosby, and Sylvia Moy. Lula Mae Hardware is Wonder's mother. The Beach Boys covered the song in 1967. Jimi Hendrix also recorded the song, with Wonder on drums, during his BBC sessions.

6. The most successful version of "Something Stupid" is by Nancy and Frank Sinatra for Frank's album "The World We Know". What major country icon recorded the song in 1967?

"Something Stupid" by Nancy and Frank Sinatra went to number one on the Top 100 for four weeks straight. Tammy Wynette recorded the song for her debut, "My Elusive Dreams", with Dave Houston.

Answer: The Feel of Neil Diamond

Both Diamond's debut, "The Feel of Neil Diamond", and his second album, ""Just for You" were never officially released on CD during the 1980s and 1990s. As of 2010 both albums are still unreleased on CD. Of the eleven recordings present on "Just For You", Diamond released nine of them on "Classics: The Early Years".

Due to a vinyl misprint, the song is also known as "I Thank the Lord for the Night". The track was Diamond's fifth consecutive Top Twenty single.

8. "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things" was a number two hit for the Cowsills. What was their other single that hit number two?
