Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Any time you want babe, you can come around, but only __ days separate me from the great top end." How many days till Ian Moss goes north?

Answer: six

From Cold Chisel's "Bow River." On the "Circus Animals" album from 1981. Best song ever.

2. "I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for __ decades for the gods they made." How many decades did the kings and queens fight for?

Answer: ten

From "Sympathy for the Devil," by the Rolling Stones. On their 1968 album, "Beggar's Banquet".

3. "Jenny, I got your number, I need to make you mine, Jenny, don't change that number..." What number did Tommy Tutone find on the bathroom wall?

Answer: 8675309

Most people, including me, have no idea about anything else from this band... but www.tutone.com is a wealth of information. 1982 saw the release of "Jenny" and she was the cause of many prank calls to those who had the number 867-5309.

4. "Helter skelter in summer swelter, the birds flew off with the fallout shelter, __ miles high and falling fast." How high were these Byrds?

Answer: eight

From Don McLean's "American Pie." On his 1971 "American Pie" album. I spelt Byrds like that because the Byrds had a song called 'Eight Miles High.' Hidden clue there. Nice, aren't I?

5. "I been running down the road, trying to loosen my load, I got __ women on my mind." How many women are playing on the Eagles' mind?

Answer: seven

"Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me, one says she's a friend of mine." From the Eagles' "Take it Easy."

6. "Though I'm past __ miles." How far up is David Bowie, as Major Tom?

Answer: 100000

"Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still, and I think my spaceship knows which way to go." From David Bowie's "Space Oddity" from 1969.

7. "And then one day you find __ years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." How many years have gone past Pink Floyd?

Answer: ten

"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." From Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," "Time" was released 1973.

8. "Yes, there are __ paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on." Can you tell me how many paths you can go down, according to Led Zeppelin?

Answer: two

"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run there's still time to change the road you're on, and it makes me wonder." From Led Zeppelin's most famous song, "Stairway to Heaven," from "Led Zeppelin IV", 1971.

Answer: second

"He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there." From Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," 1977, from the "Bat out of Hell" album. The commentary is by Phil Rizzuto, apparently some baseball star or something.

10. "Should __ percent appear too small, be thankful I don't take it all!" How much are the Beatles going tax us?

Answer: five

"Should five percent appear too small, be thankful I don't take it all!" From the Beatles 1966 track, "Taxman," from the "Revolver" album. I hope you enjoyed my quiz, and remember, none of this information was found on websites (except Tommy Tutone... no one knows about them), it's from nearly all my life studying classic rock. Cheers :D
