Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Interestingly enough, the song depicts an aquatic creature whose true identity will forever be a magical mystery in the minds of many pundits. Fill in the blank to complete the title of this song, "I am the ______."

Answer: walrus

"I am the Walrus" is a song that has inspired considerable analysis and scrutiny. It appears on the album entitled "Magical Mystery Tour," by the Beatles.
2. "He was the wizard of a thousand kings." This quite magical entry inspired more than a few hard rock fans. The name also appears in literature. (Dickens) What is the name of this band?

Answer: Uriah Heep

Uriah Heep is one of the bands from the late 60s to the early 70s that achieved supreme success as a progressive rock band. Their popularity languished to relative cult status afterward.

"He was the wizard of a thousand kings,
And I chance to meet him one night wandering,
He told me tales and he drank my wine,
Me and my magic man kind of feeling fine."
3. The brilliant album, "Magical Mystery Tour," was released in 1967. Which phenomenal group is responsible for this album?

Answer: Beatles

The Beatles released the "Magical Mystery Tour," album in 1967. It contains many memorable songs. The accompanying film was not so well received, though. John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote and performed nearly all of the tracks. There is one instrumental piece and George Harrison wrote "Blue Jay Way."
4. This song was originally recorded and released by Fleetwood Mac, but achieved much more popularity with the rendition recorded by Santana. What is the name of this song?

Answer: Black Magic Woman

"Got a Black Magic Woman.
Got a Black Magic Woman.
I've got a Black Magic Woman.
Got me so blind, I can't see,
That she's a Black Magic Woman,
Trying to make a Devil outta me."

This happens to exemplify a case wherein the cover version exceeds the original version in popularity.
5. The very fast paced version of this "instrumental" song by the Dutch group, Focus, gained popularity in a number of sports and entertainment venues. What is the magical name of this song?

Answer: Hocus Pocus

I hesitate to call this a pure instrumental since the lead singer, keyboardist, and flautist (Thijs van Leer) performs an amazing yodeling sequence in addition to some astonishing whistling. In addition, his vocal range is magnificent.
6. "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" was a hit tune by which group whose lead vocalist is also known as "Sting?"

Answer: The Police

"Every little thing she does is magic.
Everything she do just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic,
Now, I know my love for her goes on."

This magical song was released in 1981 and appears on the album, "Ghost in the Machine." The song reached the top spot on the 1981 singles chart in the UK and Holland.
7. What is the lupine name for the Canadian-American band that issued the song entitled, "Magic Carpet Ride?"

Answer: Steppenwolf

The popular song, "Magic Carpet Ride," was a success for the American-Canadian band, Steppenwolf. It is surpassed in popularity only by "Born to Be Wild."

"Don't know what we can find?
Why don't you come with me little girl,
on a magic carpet ride?
You don't know what we can see.
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free.
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl.
Let the sound take you away."
8. Pete Townshend wrote "Magic Bus" for the band. It really didn't achieve the acclaim of many of their other songs, but it is still popular. What is the name of the group?

Answer: The Who

Anyone with even the most remote acquaintance with rock music knows the names of Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. They are the members of The Who. Their songs are popular in a wide variety of culture and entertainment. The group has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
9. This is a delightful song by The Lovin' Spoonful. The song achieved enormous commercial success. The title of the song is, "Do You Believe in Magic." Who wrote this song?

Answer: John Sebastian

John Sebastian wrote many well known songs. He is perhaps best known for his founding of The Lovin' Spoonful. He sings vocals, plays a wide variety of instruments and possesses great talent as a song writer.
10. This song was popularized by Peter, Paul & Mary. Let's sing it together! "Puff, the Magic _______." Which majestic creature are we singing about?

Answer: Dragon

"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh ..

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea...
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

This is perhaps one of the most favored songs to sing in harmony for children of all ages.
