Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Me and Mrs. Jones, We've got a thing going on.'

Answer: Billy Paul

From 'Me and Mrs. Jones.' The song was written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. Billy Paul took it to number 1 in 1972.

2. 'And something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you? Mr. Jones.'

Answer: Bob Dylan

From 'The Ballad of a Thin Man.' One of several songs by Bob Dylan whose title does not appear in the lyrics.

3. 'Of her lineage she is rightfully proud, Miss Amanda Jones'

Answer: The Rolling Stones

'Miss Amanda Jones' was released in 1967 and appeared in the 1986 film 'Some Kind of Wonderful.' 'Some Kind of Wonderful' also happens to be the title of a tune by the Drifters.

4. 'Casey Jones you better watch your speed.'

Answer: The Grateful Dead

From 'Casey Jones.' The name is a reference to 'Casey Jones,' the folk song about a railroad engineer.

5. 'Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer'

Answer: Counting Crows

'Mr. Jones' by the Counting Crows stayed on the Billboard charts for almost a year between 1993 and 1994. Adam Duritz's friend Marty Jones is supposedly the subject of this song.

6. 'They called me to the phone to sign the papers of Jones vs. Jones'

Answer: Kool and the Gang

'Jones vs. Jones' is obviously about a divorce. When his wife left him, British DJ Tony Blackburn alledgedly played this song 17 times in one show.

7. 'With a couple of kids running in the yard, of Desmond and Molly Jones.'

Answer: the Beatles

From 'Ob-Bla-Di ob-Bla-Da' on the album 'The Beatles' (more commonly referred to as the White Album).

8. 'Slow walking, Jones, Slow talking Jones'

Answer: The Coasters

'And then... and then... and then...' are some more lyrics from 'Along Came Jones', which charted for the Coasters in 1959 and ten years later for Ray Stevens.

9. 'Have you seen my wife Mr. Jones? Do you know what it's like on the outside?'

Answer: The BeeGees

From 'New York Mining Disaster 1941.' This song was released by the Bee Gees in 1967 (almost a decade before disco) and is yet another song whose title does not appear anywhere in the lyrics.

10. 'Oh Mrs. Jones, Oh Mrs. Jones. Cry me a river but just take me home.'

Answer: Hole

I started this quiz with Mrs. Jones, so I might as well end it with 'Mrs. Jones.'
