Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which song are all "the sinners saints"?

Answer: Sympathy for the Devil

"Where every cop's a criminal and all the sinners saints". A huge hit for the Rolling Stones

"Just a Sinner" is a Carly Simon tune; "Saint and Sinner" was a song by KISS; and Neil Young sings "Yonder Stands the Sinner."
2. In which song might we travel with "the do-dah man"?

Answer: Truckin'

"Truckin', like the do-dah man. Once told me you've got to play your hand./Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down."

The Grateful Dead made this an anthem in the 70's.

"The Weight" is a tremendous song by The Band. "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Da" was sung by "Uncle Remus" in a Disney movie, and Midnight Cowboy is the name of a group of radio stations that play truck-driving songs.
3. Which song contains the words "chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected and"?

Answer: Born To Run

"In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream/ At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines,/ Sprung from cages out on highway 9,/ Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected and steppin' out over the line."

OK, they are hyphenated words, but that made it easier, right? From the title track of Bruce Springsteen's breakout album.

"I'm in Love with My Car" is a secondary hit by Queen, though Mercedes has been using it in some of their TV ads lately. The other two songs were made famous by the Beach Boys.
4. Those with a more lurid bent might listen to the song with "Sixteen vestal virgins." Which is that song?

Answer: A Whiter Shade of Pale

"One of sixteen vestal virgins/Who were leaving for the coast/And although my eyes were open/They might have just as well've been closed"

This was Procul Harum's only hit, but what a haunting song!

"Like a Virgin" was a huge hit for Madonna. Nirvana sings "Lithium" from the album "Nevermind". Elton John had a hit with "Island Girl".
5. What song implores us to "shoe the children"?

Answer: Fly Like an Eagle

"Feed the babies/Who don't have enough to eat/Shoe the children/With no shoes on their feet."

This is the Steve Miller Band's signature hit from the 1976 album of the same name.
6. In which song did the narrator "saw a werewolf"?

Answer: Werewolves of London

"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand / Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain./ He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks,/ Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein./ Aaahoo, werewolves of London."

Warren Zevon's best known song from the "Excitable Boy" album (1978).

"Hungry Like the Wolf" was a huge hit for Duran Duran. The Cult sings "She Sells Sanctuary" and everyone has done a cover of "Bad Moon Rising".
7. Many times when I look at our young people I see "only teenage wasteland." What's the name of the song that mirrors my feeling?

Answer: Baba O'Riley

"Out here in the fields/ I fight for my meals/ I get my back into my living/ I don't need to fight/ To prove I'm right/ I don't need to be forgiven/ Don't cry/ Don't raise your eye/ It's only teenage wasteland."

Most people think this song is titled "Teenage Wasteland", but Pete Townsend--the songwriter and guitarist for The Who--named it after Meher Baba, a spiritual guru with whom he worked and Terry Riley, an avant garde musician.

A group called Human Waste Project sings "Exit Wounds" and Nirvana sings "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (though no one understands the lyrics!).
8. You will find "no dark sarcasm" in this song (ok, maybe a little), but what is it?

Answer: Another Brick in the Wall, Part II

9. "Seasons don't fear," and I fear nothing except incorrectly answering a question at funtrivia.com! But what song contains the words in quotation marks?

Answer: Don't Fear the Reaper

"Seasons don't fear the reaper/ Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain./ We can be like they are./ Come on, baby./ Don't fear the reaper."

The Blue Oyster Cult classic about suicide.

Terry Jacks sang the syrupy hit "Seasons in the Sun". Jewel penned "Absence of Fear" and Primal Fear sings "Primal Fear" (go figure!).
10. We'll finish while banging our heads to "heavy metal thunder." What song juxtaposes rock music and clamorous weather?

Answer: Born to Be Wild

"I like smoke and lightning/ Heavy metal thunder / Racin' with the wind/ And the feelin' that I'm under/...Like a true nature's child/ We were born, born to be wild/ We can climb so high/ I never wanna die."

Steppenwolf's biggest hit from their 1968 debut album. The band took its name from a Herman Hesse novel.
