Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In episode one of "Umbrella Academy" some tension arises when the siblings meet back together upon the death of their adoptive father. After some time calming down in their respective rooms, Luther finds a song on vinyl and cranks it for all to hear. After a while the members of the Academy are dancing in their areas to the song. The song was the debut hit for a redhead teenager famous for mall tours before hitting it big in 1987. What was the song?

Answer: I Think We're Alone Now

Reminiscent of the "Breakfast Club" scene where Brian digs out some vinyl in the library and the gang can't resist dancing, Tiffany's debut hit "I Think We're Alone Now" is infectious enough to bring them back to their days of growing up.
2. Also featured in episode one, Number Five looks for a cup of coffee at the local diner. He is tracked down by a group looking to apprehend him, but his transport ability makes him very difficult to catch or shoot. The mayhem of this pursuit is accompanied by a 1990 geographical lesson in song by They Might Be Giants. What is this song?

Answer: Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

The quirky sounds of They Might Be Giants enhances Number Five's morphing from spot to spot methodically taking out all of the enforcement group looking for him.
3. In episode two of "Umbrella Academy", Klaus decides to pawn office goods from his father's study to get high. It is accompanied by a frenetic song from 1982, by a British artist advising you to "don't drink, don't smoke". What song is this?

Answer: "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant

Klaus hears voices from the dead, which is part of his power. But only when he is sober. And his visions can be disturbing, so he ended up a drug addict due to the power. Adam Ant's first solo single, "Goody Two Shoes", was a Number one hit in the UK and Australia; it made it into the Top 20 in the United States.
4. Late in episode two of "The Umbrella Academy", Number Five goes to visit Dolores, an old friend in a department store, which is where Hazel and Cha-cha, the two assigned to hunt him down, find him. During a frenetic gunfight in the department store, an equally frenetic song from a 1978 album called "Jazz" by an iconic British group accompanies the gunfight. What song is this?

Answer: "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen

Number Five managed to escape using his teleport abilities with his friend, Dolores the mannequin. The overly happy "Don't Stop Me Now" has lived an odd life since its release as a single in 1979. It had modest chart success, especially in America, where it barely cracked the top 100.

But it slowly gained a following over the decades and grew into what surveys say is the public's third favorite song of Queen.
5. In episode six, Klaus discovers a suitcase his captors had hidden, and steals it during his escape. It turns out the case is actually a time machine that transports him to the Vietnam War, where he falls in love with a G.I. there. They go paint the town, bar hopping and dancing. This scene is accompanied by some psychedelic music from the Doors, starting with the lyric, "Well, the clock says it's time to close now." What song is this?

Answer: Soul Kitchen

Released on the Doors' debut album, "Soul Kitchen" was a tribute to a soul food restaurant in Venice, California that Jim Morrison ate at often.
6. In the beginning of episode eight of "Umbrella Academy", we find out the backstory of Vanya's boyfriend Leonard. We see his pleas to join the Umbrella Academy ridiculed by Sir Reginald Hargreeves. This sequence of his boyhood is accompanied by the 1970s song "One" by which artist?

Answer: Three Dog Night

All of these artists have recorded a song titled "One" (including U2, who did a version of theirs with Mary J. Blige, a star of "Umbrella Academy"), but only one of these artists is legitimately a 1970s artist. Leonard's (or as we find out, Harold's) childhood was tormented by a drunk father torn apart by his wife's passing at his child's birth.

After getting rejected by the Academy, he snaps when his father requests another beer, and kills him. He plots revenge on the Academy upon exiting prison.
7. In episode nine, the feud between the two hit-men comes to a head when Cha-cha threatens to kill Hazel's girlfriend. The two fight to the 1960s tune "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" which was performed by whom?

Answer: Lesley Gore

"Umbrella Academy" producers have a knack for matching up intense fight scenes with the happiest little ditties, this is no different. This fight ends in a draw as it is interrupted by the Commission head who comes to invoke a truce. Gore's fun song was released in 1963, and has a unique pop culture history, appearing on "The Simpsons", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", and other shows.
8. In episode ten of "Umbrella Academy", Vanya's wrath is unleashed, and she exits her apartment to go to her orchestra concert. On the way, she flips a car whose driver insults her. All this mayhem was accompanied by the wholeheartedly appropriate classic rock tune originally done by Heart. Which song is it?

Answer: Barracuda

The opening riff played by Nancy Wilson personifies a woman scorned, and that is Vanya by the end of season one of "Umbrella Academy". Heart released "Barracuda" in 1977, it has remained one of their top hits. The sisters continue to tour even into 2019.
9. In episode ten of "Umbrella Academy", the Commission sends an Army to off the Academy in order to allow the impending apocalypse to happen. The standoff at the bowling alley where the Academy was plotting how to stop Vanya is layered with a song that lets you know when the concert is happening. What song is it?

Answer: "Saturday Night" by Bay City Rollers

Again with the quirky, happy song during the violent battles. The Academy manages to escape to make their attempt at stopping the apocalypse during Vanya's orchestra concert. Bay City Rollers were a Scottish band who broke out in 1975 with this infectious tune.
10. With the cliffhanger ending to season one of "Umbrella Academy", the credits roll to a cover of a song originally done by Simon and Garfunkel, and remade into a Top Five Billboard hit by the Bangles. What song is it?

Answer: Hazy Shade of Winter

Gerard Way, former lead singer of My Chemical Romance and the writer of the comic book series that this television show was based on, did the version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" that played at the end of this season. The song looks at a poet who is reaching a turning point in his life as the seasons begin to change.

Here in the show we are left with a change in their lives which we will find out later in 2020.
