Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who covered XTC's "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" on the "Dumb and Dumber" soundtrack?

Answer: Crash Test Dummies

The video consisted of Jeff Daniels being chased around by townspeople, while he was getting into mischief.
2. What was the Alternative rock group Moist's first single?

Answer: Push

This was the breakthrough hit for the breakthrough album "Silver". After this album Moist will not look back. They would continue to sell records. Lead singer David Usher would release two albums, the recent being "Morning Orbit" in 2001. David Usher and Moist are still big stars in Canadian music today.
3. What was Semisonic's follow-up single to "Closing Time"?

Answer: Singing in my Sleep

After the huge hit "Closing Time" it was pretty much downhill for this group. They never made it big commercially. Their last album was called "All About Chemistry", released in 2001. It spawned the single "Chemistry", but did anyone really care?
4. Which artist scored the movie soundtrack "Touch"?

Answer: Dave Grohl

A movie released in 1997 which starred actors such as Christopher Walken and Tom Arnold. Dave Grohl scored all the songs on this soundtrack and there were appearances by John Doe(X) and Louise Post(Veruca Salt). Ironically, Grohl was dating Post at the time.
5. What was the first single released from The Red Hot Chili Peppers' album "One Hot Minute"?

Answer: Warped

"My Friends" and "Aeroplane" would soon follow "Warped", but it would never duplicate the success of "BloodSugarSexMagik", which was a huge hit. To this day people consider "One Hot Minute" a blip on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' successful career. That would also be Dave Navarro's first and last album with the Chili Peppers.
6. Which artist did not appear in the movie soundtrack "A Life Less Ordinary"?

Answer: The Dandy Warhols

This movie starred Ewan McGregor ("Trainspotting") and Cameron Diaz("Charlie's Angels"). Diverse album, as it had artists from Beck to Underworld to Elvis Presley! Ironically, The Dandy Warhols did appear in another soundtrack featuring Cameron Diaz as the star. "There's Something about Mary", released in 1998, featured the Dandy Warhols' "Everyday Should be a Holiday".
7. What "Friends" star appeared in the Counting Crows video "Long December"?

Answer: Courtney Cox

Courtney Cox did appear in a Bruce Springsteen video in the early 80's. Matt Leblanc appeared in an Alanis Morrisette video in the early 90's, but she was a Dance/Pop artist and was just named simply Alanis. Jennifer Aniston appeared in Tom Petty's "Walls" video for the soundtrack and movie that she starred in with Cameron Diaz(again!), "She's the One".
8. What Led Zeppelin song did the Stone Temple Pilots cover in "Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin"?

Answer: Dancing Days

While the Stone Temple Pilots covered "Dancing Days", Never the Bride covered "Going to California". The rest were not on the album. The album did feature artists such as Blind Melon, Cracker, Duran Duran, and Sheryl Crow, plus others.
9. Damon Albarn of Blur dated the lead singer of which group?

Answer: Elastica

Justine Frishman of Elastica dated Albarn of Blur for quite awhile. They were pretty much British Music's favourite couple; it also helped when both Blur and Elastica were big in the mid 1990's. Elastica had "Connection", "Car Song", and "Stutter" off of their self-titled debut album.

There was an album release ("The Menace") in 2001, but it was so insignifigant it's not worth mentioning much about.
10. Bassist Matt Sharp released an album with his side project in the fall of 1995. What did he call this side project?

Answer: The Rentals

While lead singer Rivers Cuomo was finishing school, Matt Sharp created The Rentals, who had a hit in alternative radio stations called "Friends of P". Sharp would eventually leave and make more albums with the Rentals after Weezer's second album, "Pinkerton", was released.
11. Who produced Weezer's first album?

Answer: Ric Ocasek

The former leader of the Cars was assigned the task of producing the first album. While he didn't produce Weezer's second album, he did produced their third album, the 2001 release "Weezer".
12. Who recorded the song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead"?

Answer: Monster Magnet

The song came off the album "Dopes to Infinity" released in 1995. This album was re-released in 1999 with two bonus tracks.
13. What was Frank Black's debut album titled?

Answer: Frank Black

After disbanding the Pixies on a radio station in 1993, he released this self-titled debut album in the same year. He would never repeat the success of the Pixies, but he still has a cult following to this day. "Los Angeles" is a good song worth checking out from this album.
14. What was the first single released off of Third Eye Blind's 1999 album "Blue"?

Answer: Anything

Not a very smashing first single off of their highly anticipated second album. Their second single, "Never Let You Go", would be a hit, but the album didn't do that well in sales or commercial success like their debut. They released their third album on May 13, 2003, called "Out of the Vein".
15. Which group recorded "Novocaine for the Soul" in 1996?

Answer: The Eels

A commercial hit in 1996 got the attention of America. The follow-up album to "Beautiful Freak" would not fare well commercially. Even though E(lead singer of the Eels) hasn't had a hit since "Novocainefor the Soul", he still is releasing well-received albums.
16. Which British group released the song "Daydreamer"?

Answer: Menswear

One-hit wonder of the Brit Pop revival in the early to mid-90's. The group was signed after less than six gigs, as music labels were searching for the next big British group to feed the frenzy of the public and media.
17. "Listen" from Collective Soul was on which album?

18. Who sang this lyric "I'm in heaven, I'm a god, I feel so hard, it's not a habit, it's cool...."?

19. "Feelin so good that day, feeling the love that day, twisting and turning your feeling the burning...."

Answer: Breaking the Girl

Another successful single off of the smash album "BloodSugarSexMagik".
20. Pat Smear was part of which legendary punk band?

Answer: The Germs

Pat Smear's time in The Germs ended when lead singer Darby Crash committed suicide in 1980. Pat Smear toured with Nirvana. He was on Nirvana's "MTV: Unplugged in New York". Smear also had a brief stay with Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters; he left soon after the Foo's second album "The Colour and the Shape" was released.
21. Which group had the one-hit wonder "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand"?

22. Who co-wrote "Lust for Life" with Iggy Pop?

Answer: David Bowie

The video for this song featured Thom Yorke's head in a bowl and being underwater for like 20 seconds. It looked like he was enjoying the experience. This song came off of their masterpiece "OK Computer", which was released in 1997.
