Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Layla

'Layla' came out in 1970; the other songs that are given were released later on. It's mainly just instrumental with limited lyrics and runs for quite some time. All of these songs, along with others, can be found on the nice CD 'Timepieces'.

Answer: Free Bird

Ahhh, Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song came out in 1973 on the album 'Pronounced'leh-'nerd 'skin-'nerd'. 'Free Bird' is lengthy, running about nine minutes, but that doesn't bother me.

Answer: Heaven is a Place on Earth

Allright, I couldn't really think of any songs to go up against this one. 'Heaven' came out from Belinda Carlisle in 1987. The album on which it can be found is titled 'Heaven on Earth'. The song does an awful lot of repeating and runs around four minutes or so.

Answer: I'm a Believer

The Monkees DID have to make my list at least once. This 1967 song can be found on 'More of the Monkees', the group's second album.

Answer: Like a Rolling Stone

Bob Dylan's 1965 song 'Like a Rolling Stone' can be found on the album 'Highway 61 Revisited'. The album is Dylan's sixth.

Answer: I Think I Love You

'I Think I Love You' can be found on 'The Partridge Family Album'. Wow! How'd they come up with that name? The other songs are all on different albums.

Answer: Band of Gold

Miss Freda Payne came out with 'Band of Gold'. She came out with a number of hits, but I specifically like this tune. Dawn had 'Candida', Roberta Flack had 'Killing Me...', and 'Touch Me In The Morning' was by Diana Ross.

Answer: You're So Vain

'You're So Vain' was released by Carly Simon. She also had albums titled 'Best of Carly Simon (Elektra)' and 'Hotcakes'. 'No Secrets' was her first album and includes songs such as 'Right Thing to Do', 'Carter Family', and 'Night Owl'.

Answer: California Dreamin'

This song was sung by The Mamas and the Papas. Their first album had songs like 'Hey Girl' and 'Spanish Harlem' on it.

Answer: Hitchin' A Ride

Vanity Fare. I can't tell you a darn thing about them except that they came out with a very nice song titled 'Hitchin' A Ride'. Okay, so that does it with the music quiz. Long live the oldies!
