Music Common Bond Trivia Quiz

Answer: Denny

Denny, officially Denisovan 11, was found in Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains, Siberia and is the fossil of a young girl, at least 13 years old. DNA analysis of Denny shows that she had a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father, proving that the two groups mated.
The discovery of Denny is being cited as proof that ancient civilisations may not have become extinct, but could have assimilated into modern humans instead.

Answer: Kashmir

The history of Kashmir is long, bloody and complicated. When India and Pakistan gained independence in 1947, Hari Singh, the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir wanted independence for his state too. Pakistani-backed forces invaded Kashmir in the same year and Singh turned to Governor-General of India, Louis Mountbatten, for help.
Mountbatten sent Indian soldiers to prevent any further occupation, but on the condition that Singh ceded Jammu and Kashmir to India. The legalities of this accession were questioned by Pakistan and the dispute has been on going ever since.
Aksai Chin lies in the east of Kashmir and was included as a part of India in their independence, however China argue that border discussions never took place and Aksai Chin was already under Chinese jurisdiction when India gained independence.

Answer: Page

A page would enter service within a castle or manor house aged seven and be taught in the arts of horsemanship, hunting and combat in exchange for running errands for his master, as well as dressing him and cleaning his weapons. This education in exchange for hard work would continue until the boy was fourteen at which point he was eligible to become a squire. If all went well, a boy could then become a knight at age 21.

Answer: Tangerine

Tangerines may be smaller than regular oranges, but they are sought after for their sweeter taste and stronger, more "orangey" flavour. The first tangerines to arrive in Europe did so in the 1800s and they have been popular ever since, with almost 1400 tons being grown just in Morocco in 2018.

Answer: Bonzo

Reagan starred as Professor Peter Boyd in this comedy titled "Bedtime For Bonzo" (1951). Reagan's character hopes to prove that environment is key to raising young in a bid to settle the "nature versus nurture" debate.
Needless to say, raising a chimpanzee as a child is never going to go well, even when you can hire the beautiful Diana Lynn to act as the animal's mother.
Surprisingly, Reagan turned down the chance to appear in the sequel, "Bonzo Goes To College" (1952) saying he thought it was not believable.

Answer: Moby Dick

Much has been written on Fun Trivia about Moby Dick (1851) by quiz writers far more knowledgeable than me, so we'll stick to the basics.
"Call me Ishmael" is the opening line to the novel and is probably one of the most famous opening lines ever in this tale of Captain Ahab aboard the Pequod. Ahab is searching for Moby Dick, the sperm whale that severed his leg at the knee on his previous voyage.
After three days of chasing Moby Dick, a fierce final battle ensues between the crew of the Pequod and the whale, but just in case you haven't read it or done any quizzes on the novel, I won't reveal the ending.
The novel is also well known in quiz circles for the chief mate aboard the ship, Starbuck, who lent his name to a well known coffee chain.

Answer: Plant

A well executed plant is a handy tool in the arsenal of any snooker player and being able to hold your nerve to pull it off is the mark of a top cue man. After Judd Trump clawed his way back from two frames down in the semi final of the 2015 World Snooker Championships to force the deciding frame, opponent Stuart Bingham risked the match on trying a plant to pot a red.

He pulled it off brilliantly and went on to beat Shaun Murphy in the final.

Answer: Black Dog

Both Johnson and Churchill were reportedly affected by periods of depression, as were great historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Isaac Newton, Beethoven and Vincent Van Gogh.
Johnson's term of "black dog" now lends its name to the Australian Black Dog Institute, which was founded in 2002 and works tirelessly in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and bipolar disorder.

Answer: John Paul Jones

Scottish born Jones along with John Barry and John Adams is seen as the "father of the American Navy" and is renowned for his seemingly impossible victory the British warship Serapis in 1779 at the Battle of Flamborough Head off the coast of Yorkshire.
When left without a command in 1787, Jones joined the Imperial Russian Navy, seeing action against Turkish and Ottoman forces and reaching the rank of rear admiral before leaving the fleet in 1788.

Answer: Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin were formed in 1968 by Robert PLANT, Jimmy PAGE, John "BONZO" Bonham and JOHN PAUL JONES. They are considered by many, myself included to have been the finest rock band ever and many of their songs are now referred to as classics.
These include "DAZED AND CONFUSED" from their first album, "Led Zeppelin" (1969) which was also the hint in the quiz introduction.
"Stairway To Heaven" from their fourth album in 1971 is probably the band's best known track and this album opened with the wonderful "BLACK DOG", and includes the haunting "Battle of Evermore", featuring Sandy DENNY, of Fairport Convention, which was the only occasion on which a guest vocalist ever appeared on a Led Zeppelin album
"TANGERINE" was a track from "Led Zeppelin III" (1970) while Bonham's drum instrumental "MOBY DICK", was originally included on "Led Zeppelin II" (1969).
"Physical Graffiti" (1975) was the album that included the incredible "KASHMIR", a song which was used by Puff Daddy for his track "Come With Me" for the "Godzilla" movie of 1998.
