The song was originally given the Spanish title "Aserejé". Las Ketchup is made up of three sisters: Pilar, Lola and Lucia Munoz.

It appears they may have inherited their talent from their father, a well known flamenco guitarist who, coincidently, performed under the name "El Tomate".

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

There are many writers and music critics that hail this track as Springsteen's greatest work. As Roy Bittan's elegant piano introduction draws you in Springsteen steps forward and unveils a gritty tale of a young man in a dead-end job who lives for those moments when he's behind the wheel of his '69 Chevy.

It is a metaphor of the average guy chasing the dream and how that chase has the power to "burn" him. Springsteen manages to imbue the song with a gentle tenderness that doesn't stoop to mawkish sentimentality.

The track appears on Bruce's 1978 album "Darkness on the Edge of Town".

Answer: Je Suis un Rock Star

This is the stand out track on former Rolling Stones' bass player Bill Wyman's self titled 1981 album. Deliriously strange, the song embroiders Wyman's inbuilt sense of humour with a disco beat and a string of Spanish guitars. Lyrically there are lines of fashionable venues and pop culture references that are delivered with a deadpan voice and an accent that Wyman describes as Cockney French.

The single would spend nine weeks in the UK Top Forty charts and peak at number fourteen.

Answer: Vanity Fare

The humble recorder, hardly an instrument that you'd associate with a rock and roll number but Vanity Fare use it to great effect to provide their single with a quirky and original opening. It branches out to tell the story of a young man without money desperate to get home to his lady love who sounded lonely on the phone (good grief!). Formed in Kent in 1966, Vanity Fare had moderate success until "Hitchin' a Ride" became a hit worldwide.

The song went to number sixteen on the UK Singles charts in 1970 but it was in the US on Billboard's Hot 100 where it did best, peaking at number five.

Answer: The Other Man's Grass is Always Greener

This was written by Tony Hatch, a long time collaborator with Petula, and Jackie Trent. The song, which has a philosophical bent and advises the listener to be thankful for what they have got, reached number twenty for Petula on the UK singles charts in 1967 and number thirty one on Billboard's Hot 100 in the US.

"Green, Green Grass of Home" is a popular 1966 cover by Tom Jones. "Where the Green Grass Grows" is a Tim McGraw song and "The Green Grass Grew All Around" is a popular children's song, often featured on the children's television programme "Barney & Friends".

Answer: At Starbucks, most products ended in five cents, when giving change, staff would say "Here's your Nickel back"

The Starbucks' logo is green. Before they became famous bass player Mike Kroeger, worked in a Canadian Starbucks where coffee prices ended in five cents multiples. When change was given, Mike would say "Here's your nickel back."
Often criticised for producing formulaic music, Nickelback nevertheless have sold over fifty million records. In the decade between 2000 and 2010, the only group that sold more records in the US than Nickelback were The Beatles.
Their hit song "How You Remind Me" was the best selling rock record of the decade.

Answer: Velociraptor

This was a track on Kasabian's album Velociraptor. La Fée Verte translates to "The Green Fairy" a reference to the drink absinthe. Absinthe is a beautiful, bright green French spirit that contains extracts of wormwood and reportedly causes seizures due to the presence of thujone. The track is about getting high and chasing oblivion in the alcohol. Kylie Minogue played The Green Fairy in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge- a place inextricably linked with absinthe at a time of its immense popularity in 19th Century Paris.
La Fée Verte is also an absinthe house in Paris.
