One More Night Trivia Quiz

Answer: Norah Jones

"Sunrise" is a nice little ditty by Norah Jones, and can be found on her 2004 album "Feels Like Home". In the United States, the song did not even place in the Hot 100, yet it was popular enough to be certified gold for selling half a million copies. The music video for this single is quite nifty as well; as a Norah Jones fan myself, I might suggest you watch it, especially to cheer you up when you're feeling down.

Answer: 3OH!3

The 2008 album "Want" by 3OH!3 may be better known for the singles "Starstrukk" and "Don't Trust Me", but my personal favorite is the lesser known "Colorado Sunrise". The band originated in Boulder, Colorado in 2004. If you're curious, the incorrect options were also all bands who were formed in Colorado.

Now, for fun, take your index fingers and thumbs and make a circle, extending the remaining six fingers in the air. This symbol represents the band 3OH!3, as there are 3 fingers, an O made from index fingers and thumbs, and then another 3 fingers.

Answer: Matchbox 20

"3 AM" was released as a single in 1997, more than a year after the album it is found on was released ("Yourself or Someone Like You" was released in 1996). Interestingly, the song is stylized as "3 am" on the album, but as "3 AM" when it was released as a single. Rob Thomas wrote the lyrics to the song based on his experience as a child with a mother battling cancer.

Answer: Maroon 5

Maroon 5 released "Daylight" in 2012 as the third single from their successful 2012 album "Overexposed". The song is about a lover who has to sneak away by the morning. The song never explains why, though one verse suggests both parties knew he would have to leave at some point. "Daylight" debuted on "The Voice", a singing competition with Adam Levine (lead singer of Maroon 5) as a judge and mentor.

Answer: Whitney Houston

"Angel of the Morning was originally sung by Evie Sands in 1967, though she wasn't the only one to record the song in that year (Billie Davis recorded the song in November), but in 1968, Merrilee Rush made it into the top ten with her version of the song. The version I enjoy most was sung in 1981 by Juice Newton. Skeeter Davis sang the song in 1969, and Bonnie Tyler in 1998.

Answer: Maroon 5

Maroon 5 released their debut album "Songs About Jane" in 2002. 2 1/2 years later, they released their fourth single from the 4x platinum album, "Sunday Morning". The music video takes place at Abbey Road Studios, and there is also a karaoke scene where some men are singing their songs.

Answer: Florence + the Machine

"Dog Days Are Over" was the second single released by the indie pop group Florence + the Machine, first released in 2008. The song was on their debut album, "Lungs" (2009). "Dog Days Are Over" was re-released in 2010, because, as Florence Welch out it, "the original was cheap".

Answer: Adele

Adele released her debut album when she was 19, and so the title of the album was "19" (2008). "Daydreamer" was not one of the four singles released for the album. The song is about the perfect guy; one Adele is daydreaming about in this song.

Answer: Linkin Park

The third single from "Minutes to Midnight" (2007) was "Shadow of the Day", released in 2007. It was alternative rock group Linking Park who sang the song. Though the band is known for more of a hard rock sound, it is interesting to know that during recording, they experimented with many different sounds. One instrument they tried was the banjo, but the final product did nit contain such an instrument.

Answer: Alan Jackson

"Monday Morning Church" was a single from Alan Jackson's album "What I Do" (song and album both released in 2004). The backup vocals are provided by Patty Loveless. The song is about the difficulties of losing a loved one, and how every little thing triggers a memory of that person.
