Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This love song, composed in 1966 by Bert Kaempfert, and popularized by Frank Sinatra, tells us the story of two people who exchange glances and wonder what are the chances they'll be sharing love before the night is through. These two people are what, in that night?

Answer: Strangers

"Strangers In The Night" is our first answer. This song was originally offered to the singer Melina Mercouri, who refused to sing it because she thought it was more fitting for a male voice. It ended up being one of the most successful songs for Sinatra. Despite this fact, he actually hated the song!
2. If I've been working like a dog, and should be sleeping like a log, we can say that it's been...?

Answer: A Hard Day's Night

One of the many hits by The Beatles, "A Hard Day's Night" was released in 1964 as part of the soundtrack for a film of the same name starring none other than the Fab Four themselves. It was also the title of their third album.
3. I suddenly feel like painting my face in black and white, getting dressed to kill, partying every day, and listening to certain music all nite. What would that music be?

Answer: Rock and Roll

Yeah, we're talking about the classic song by Kiss, "Rock And Roll All Nite"! I mashed together the chorus' lyrics, the name of their 1975 album containing the song, and their trademark facepainting.
It was later covered by Poison in 1987.
4. The year is 1975. This British rock band released a very unusual single, resembling a classical suite more than a standard rock song. It turned out to be a massive hit and ranked high in many countries' charts, not only at the time of its release, but also in the early '90s, following the death of their iconic frontman. And where's the night theme, you might ask? This song I mentioned is featured in their album "A Night At The Opera". By now you should know which band I am talking about.

Answer: Queen

"Bohemian Rhapsody" was met with mixed reviews when it came out, mostly due to its deviation from the modern song structure. But then it went on to become Queen's most famous and successful work.
5. Of the following songs, which one is not by AC/DC?

Answer: Turn Up The Night

"Turn Up The Night" is the opening song of Black Sabbath's 1981 album "Mob Rules".
"Night Prowler" is from "Highway To Hell" (1979), "You Shook Me All Night Long" is from "Back In Black" (1980), and "Night Of The Long Knives" is from "For Those About to Rock" (1981).
6. What was the first single released by Phil Collins as a solo artist, in 1981?

Answer: In The Air Tonight

Collins started his solo career in 1981 with the release of "Face Value", though he was still part of Genesis and he played and contributed with several other acts.
All other options are also singles by Collins.
7. The late '80s and early '90s were the golden age for Depeche Mode. During those years, they released a chain of hits that made them rise to international stardom. The peak of their fame came with their 1990 release, which included a lesser known song called "Waiting For The Night", among classics like "Enjoy The Silence", "Policy Of Truth" and "Personal Jesus". What was the album's title?

Answer: Violator

"Waiting For The Night" is the fifth track in what is arguably their most successful work, "Violator". All other options are also albums by Depeche Mode.
8. This Australian trio started off when they were just teenagers in the mid '90s. While in their beginnings they took most of their influences from the grunge scene (for example in their first hit, "Tomorrow"), they greatly expanded their sound in the following years. Their 2002 album "Diorama", opens with "Across The Night", which features a full orchestral arrangement, complete with piano, strings, brass sections, and even a harpsichord to start off the song! So, what band are we talking about?

Answer: Silverchair

While their first two albums were mostly grunge oriented, Silverchair took a more melodic turn starting with "Neon Ballroom" in 1999, incorporating a vast array of instruments in their compositions. After releasing five albums, they announced an indefinite hiatus in 2011.
9. This five piece band from NY, one of the pioneers of the garage rock revival movement, released their debut album in 2001, with "Last Nite" being one of their early hits. Who are they?

Answer: The Strokes

"Is This It" was a major success for the band, and is considered a landmark in the '70s rock revival movement that started in the early 2000s.
10. Let's get classical! Who was this famous composer born in Austria, whose works include "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" ("Little Night Serenade", if you want)? His first name might remind you of an animal.

Answer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Its title might not sound familiar right away, but listen to the first few bars of the song and you'll likely recognize it!
Even through he passed away at just 35 years old, Mozart composed over 600 works, and is regarded as one of the most prolific and influential Classical composers.
