Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What artist sings this lyric? "You'll know the vertigo is gonna grow."

Answer: Barenaked Ladies

"Hold it now and watch the hoodwink. When I make you stop, think, you think you're looking at Aquaman. I summon fish to the dish although I like the shelly Swiss I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched the frying pan. Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes. Big like Leanne Rymes, 'cause I'm all about value. Bert Camper's got the mad hits. You try to match wits. You try to hold me but I bust through." are all lyrics from the Barenaked Ladies' "One Week", but for some reason the only lyrics any one seems to know are "chickidy China, the Chinese chicken". If you got that question right, congratulations!

2. What artist sings this lyric? "Dry is good and wind is better."

Answer: Shawn Colvin

From Shawn Colvin's "Sonny Came Home". I think this is a good song, but it's kind of disturbing with lyrics like "Get the kids and bring a sweater. Dry is good and wind is better. Count the years you always knew it. Strike a match go on and do it."

3. Fill in the blank. "Yo how 'bout you buff these _____ for twenty cents."

Answer: Pumas

"Yo how 'bout you buff these Pumas for twenty cents so your lights won't get cut off" are lyrics from Missy Elliot's "Gossip Folks". This lyric was taken from the part at the end of the song when Missy is yelling at the gossipers.

4. What song is this from? "I never could have come this far without you."

Answer: "Kind and Generous"

From Natalie Merchant's "Kind And Generous".

5. What song is this from? "We stayed up talking."

Answer: "In This Diary"

"In This Diary" by The Ataris.

Answer: watch the way Missy

The answer is "Watch the way Missy" as in "Watch the way Missy like to take it backwards". This is one of two lyrics backmasked in the song. The other is in the chorus where "Put my thing down flip it and reverse it" is backmasked to sound like "itsersrevundipitsrightnya".

7. What song is this from? "Scared with every touch, cause I don't want to lose you."

Answer: Damaged

8. What song is this from? "Feelings hard to conceal."

Answer: "I'll Be Missing You"

"From Puff Daddy's (as he was known at the time) song "I'll Be Missing You." It was written by Puff Daddy about his late rapper friend, Notorous BIG, who was shot in a drive-by shooting. For the song, Puffy took the music from The Police's song "Every Breath You Take" and wrote his own rap lyrics.
