Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Name the early hit where the Boys suggest that "on occasions, it would be preferable for one's life to be extinguished, seeing that a firearm is in one's possession and is aimed in the direction of a part of the anatomy."
2. Which song begged, "please excuse me, Heavenly Creator, as I attempted to avoid that behaviour"?
3. This song noted that "the person referred to previously at no time made an effort to throw a glance your way." What was it?
4. It galls me to hear them say something like, "tobacco is a habit which both of us have forsaken due to its ability to shorten one's lifespan: given this fact, to whom does the lighting equipment belong?" However, this is one of their best songs - what is the title?
5. The Boys were sometimes a bit pretentious, as witness the song implied by these words: "member of the French Resistance, would you like to inform me as to your movements in the near future?" So, would you please name that tune?
6. This song really had people laughing at the PSB, as they talked about "a Cuban revolutionary and a French composer set to the strains of modern dance music."
7. "It is possible that my behaviour towards you was not of the quality expected," but what song am I trying to guide you towards?
8. In 1990, one song asked us to "please give me information as to your personal contacts, owing to the fact that I was not contacted at the time arranged." Can you tell what it was?
9. I hope this one is as easy as it sounds to me, for "the weather has changed at this time of year, and this contrasts sharply with the figures for previous seasons." By the way, this song isn't played an awful lot - so what is its name?
10. It wasn't Tennant or Lowe who said (sort of) that "I am convinced that a location exists which is suitable for both our needs." It was Stephen Sondheim, but which tune fits my altered lyrics?
11. "Thoroughfares in this metropolis resemble a closely packed tropical area. With this in mind, custodial authorities should be informed" sounds like a news report, but in fact it was a track not normally associated with the Boys. Do you know its title?
12. Now you should get this! "I have a great deal of affection for you, and in return my accommodation fees are settled on my behalf." It was a big hit for the group, and Carter USM did a great live version. Could you name it?
13. There is a hint of 'A Clockwork Orange' to this clue! "The night previous to this (which is not long ago), your narrator realised he had strayed into an unknown region, but which was close to one of the main London termini" leads you to which track name?
14. "I wish to ask in Spanish, does a dance hall exist near this place?" asked Neil on an album with a yellow colour. What did he really say?
15. Finally, I have to remind you that "amorous attentions arrive in haste, and any actions you may take to avoid them are not important." Well, not quite like that - what was the actual title?
